DEAR Sir You say in your recentlet,er OF acceptance
at is with conflicting feelings that SURVEYS
the Reuubliosn party much Is there In ts masses 10
rtioce n-so uch in lis leadership to lament. Strorg
impul.es Of Justice and mercy are in these nssses s.
How ssd that they should be repres.ed by political
calculations Frequently does generous spirit move
them. But IS frequently does it encounter chilling
policy. Bravely would the party go forward were /
not restrained by the tiDid caution and selfish reason
ircs of unworthy leaders. believe that tae Republ.
can parry ii only freed from the deceyng and pervert
irg riuences of its worst leaders would vote TO Axe
Nev.lork free State.
As you offer to answer questions at the meetings you
propose to at,erd put few that seem pertinent
k wise for those OF strong impulses Of ustics and
mercy" TO divide; one portion uniting with q new
patty and Withdrawing their so mach needed influence
from the Republican party
Would it not look covardly for them to do so how
while contest is going Oh IN that party between whist
sre called radical AID conservative influences
How can these masses be more efficient in two psT.

Public Sehosl Liquidation.

The State Board adjourned last Saturday
having sat tho full term, twenty days, con
templated BY the Constitution. Owing ia
tho unexpected decision Of the Supreme Cour,
against the constitutionality Of the act Of thu
General Assembly, the Board had to legis
late under very great embarrassment and diff.
hculty. In order to conserve the interests oil
she public schools it seemed necessary to 10.
galiss al the proceedings that had transpired
under the laws Of the last Legislature and to
continue for the present the same system.--
And with the brief space Of time allotted to
their deliberations, the Board were in man.
ner compelled TO adopt, as nearly as circum-
stances would admit, the laws Of last winter,
in 40 far as they came within their province
of Legislation. The system of last winter
is, therefore, in the main adopted by the
Board and as so much of the act OF the Gen.
sral Assembly as relates to the revenue of the
public schools is held to be valid by the Su-
preme Court, and only such portions as pro-
vide for the organization of school districts,
the management of schools, &C., was declared
unconstitutional, the enactment OF this lat-
ter portion by the Board will prevent any SCI
rious changes or general confusion which
must have resulted from the enactment of an
entire new school system to 20 into immedi-
ate operat ion, however good the system
might be in itself.
The Board also elect ed Thomas II. Benton,
formerly State Superintendent Of Public In
struction, A. Secretary, and a. the duties of
this Office are similar to those Of Superinten-
dent under the old Consultation, his famili-
arisy with the business will be Of great adj
vantage in securing correctness and efh-
cheney.

expeditions, proposes to lead another sxpe.
dition to the North pole in 1860. He is now
lecturing in the Eastern cities to interest the
public and raise means to defray the expen-
ses Of the expedition. He has the utmos,
confidence that there is an open Polar Sea,
and that the interests OF science az well az
the commercial interests of the world demand
such an expedition.
The project is enthusiast tically endorsed by
Agassiz, Prof. Bache, Henry Grinnell and the
American Geographical Society of New
York.

PRor. ARhoR-We find the following high.
ly appreciative notice Of our esteemed friend
and former fellow citizen, DIR. Armor, in the
Louisville Journal:
We had the pleasure of listening to this
distinguished medical lecturer at the clinical
room OF the Louisville Hospital during his
recent sojourn in our oity. The lecture on
physical diagnosis was the most mastery ex-
position of this difficult subject to which we
have ever listened. The style was ohaste,
elegant, clear, and pointed. The whole ef-
fort was we'll worthy Of his great reputa-
tion.n
We learn that Prof Armor designs to re-
move to St. Louis soon, having received an
invitation to ill profsssorship of the
Medical College there.
