purporting to have issued from you,

A RABID ASSAILANT OF COMMON
.r.rr SCHOOLS.

The South side (Va.) Democrat is animated with
q morbid spirit of hostility to the Common School
system, Its editor some time since confessed his
cordial hatred Of every thing Free, and assail-
cd it with the virulence of o dog afflicted with by.
dropbobia. In his issue of Friday last, he COM
mences an article in these words: "The Common
School system of New England is the fruitful pa
rent Of most of the innumerable moral, religious
and political ills which infest that plague'stricken
region" and proceeds to illuminate his thunders
against the system. Does any one ask the reason
of,these assaults The answer is at hand. The
Common Schools are supposed to be hostile to the
'iSouthcrn social SYSTEM" as the South side Dem
oerat mildly characteristics slavery, and therefore
ought to be suppressed. 1t regards the objections
to the system as radical, and says there is nc
possibIe remedy for this state Of things, as long as
the public schools continue to be fountains of anti.
slavery sentiment"
As the South side Democrat is an organ of the
National Democracy" and a faithful supporter OF
Mr.. Buchanan's Administration, we would like to
give il some laid and comfort. Our sympathies
are drawn out towards it. The condition Of its
editor is to be condoled with. A philanthropis'
of such comprehensive and lar-reaching benevo'
lencc. vino wouldabanish that fruitful parent oil
most Of our inn umerable moral, religious and po
litical ills" the common schools, and give us IN Its
stead the Southern social system, ~vulgarly called
Slavery is deserving of our gratitude. We trus
some benevolent individual will endeavor to con
vince him that the freedom he hates so much is {
blessing to be coveted, and not an evil to be de
nouuced and sco1ned. If he was a Democrat aftel
the stamp of Jefferson, no argument would bt
needed to convince him of this fundamental truth
hut he has lived so long in the baleful atmospher,
of Slavery that he seems to think it impossible fol
a man to live outside OF It,.
We know there is Flaw in Virginia which pun
ishes women with fine and imprisonment for teach
ing children to read, but this law did not originate
in the days of Washington and Jefferson it be
Ion,s m a later day. when the Democracy of jeff
erson is secuted as q h eresy, and its adherents re
pudiated as enemies and traitors. 1t may well be
asked what, sympathy has Buchanan with thu
principles of Jefferson and if he had this 'South
Side" editor would assa il him with as much yiru
lence and unreason as he Eliminates against Com
mon Schools. e.
The system of Common Schools, we believe, Ii
pre,ty well established at the North, and we ap
prehend our people will not ask the PERMISSION o
fb;s South. Side" editor to- continue them. The.
will support them SO long az they are found to b
nseful. without regard to the lash OF his resent
ment which he brandishes over their heads. Thi
being the case w would like to know what he /
going to do about it.

THE EXILES OF FLORIDA,
BY JOSHUA r. GIDDINGs.
Illustrated with six fine Engravings
ONE VOLUllE, Emo. 800 PIP. 81 90

This work will portray, with eminent ability,
the crimes committed by our Government against
tho Maroons who fled from South Carolina and
other Slave States, seeking protection under
Spanish laws. It will also show the bad faith ex-
ercisei towards the Indians of Florida, and be
found to present n true view OF the long fought
FLORIDA WAR.
The object Of the work is to operate upon the
political morality of the country, by calling forth
the sympathies and moral feelings of the people (;
and its condemnation of tho tyranny of the Exc
cutive and its supporters, should commend it to
the attention of every American citizen.
The long and distinguished services, high per-
sonal character, and known ability OF the writer,
will be q sufficient guaranty of its merits.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Evening Post, who examined some OF the
advance sheets, says:
81 have examined it with pleasure and %instruc.
tioa. The work will prove a valuable history OF
important events which will undou btedly be pass.
ed over by those who claim TO be the historians oil
the Country, either in consequence OF the 'pecu'
liar Institution which it concerns, or because they
have not the facilities for acquiring information on
the subject. To any other man than Mr.. Giddings,
the subject of the Spanish Maroons or Seminole
slaves would become complex and remote. Per
haps there has been no subject which he has more
thoroughly investigated in the course OF his
public duties, nor any that he comprehends pet,
ter than this. The book will cover a vast deal OF
important information besides that of which it is
the special object of the author to treat. The
character of Osceola, as delineated by the pen OF
Mr.. Giddings, is grand to contemplate. Ills pa
rentage, marriage, romantic life and noble death
make up a m ost thrilling and instructive chapter
in the work and while the whole is produced il
the usually earnest, clear and concise style OF thu
author, it is also beautifed with a romance more
charming than can be gathered from the world o
fiction"

.M r WASHINGTON CITY, May 18th.
Mr.. Mason, Of Virginia, from the ommitte on
Foreign Relations, to whom was refe rred the reso-
luton inquiring whether additional legislation Is
nt;ve 70 obtain redress for recent British aggres'
sions, submitted a report, the substance of which
ia that the official statements show a succession OF
acts Of aggression by the British cruisers in the
Gulf of Mexico. so marked and extraordinary as
10 have awakened the indignation of the country.
Vessels under the American flag, pursuing a law,
ful commerce, have been fired into, stopped and
Intercepted as to cargo, destination, crew. &c.
No less than fifteen American ships in the harpor
of Sagua La Grande, and six on the high seas,
have been officially reported, each arrival bringing
additional facts of aggression of the samc power
on our flag.
1t has hitherto happened, that in isolated cases
where similar aggressions have occurred. through
misconceptions, the United States has been content
. ed to accept a disclaimer Of intent, but the connn.

HE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPu.-A letter from
London received by the Niagara, says of the
progress OF the Ocean Telegraph:
ut appears that, in the course of about q fort.
night or three weeks, an experiment will be made
by running the cable out from the coast of Ireland,
n distance OF about GOO miles, so IA to reach the
greatest depth that will have to lie encountered,
and to test the general COM leteness of the ma.
chinery. The final starting Of the expedition, it
is hoped, will take place about tho 10th of June,
in order that the mid point Of tho Atlantic, be-
tween Newfoundland and Ireland, may be reached
on the 18th Of june. At that period there will,
in those ATTITUDES. be only about four hours of
night; and as a full moon will lend her aid, there
Will absolutely DO no interval Of darkness through
out the entire operations"
