"Thc result of the Western Elections which
took place on Tuesday, are particularly signif-
cant in their bearing upon the aspirations of
Senator norGIAs. The North has heretofore
been deemed the peculiar field of his strength.
MI the active period Of his life has been passed
there, and he has always striyen to accommo-
date himself TO its temper and make himself
its pet champion. The doctrine of Squattcr-
Sovereignty, his great hobby, was, moreover,
peculiarly adapted to the Western ideas and
habits, and, in his belief, was to be the means
of making him absolutely irresistible. The re-
suit of his great contest with LINCOLN last year
in his own State, was by no means conclusive
test OF his Western strength. Though upon
the popular vote there was small majority a
gainst him, yet he achieved success in being
reelected Senator; and it is to be remembered
too, that he experienced great disadvantage in
the vehement opposition OF the Federal Admin
iStration. Again even had Illinois at that time
pronounced more decidedly IN his favor would
have been very unreliable indication OF the

all this and many other public evils and calam-

TILE .SECRETARr,S REPORT.

The third annual Report of the Vermont Board
Of Education with the Report of the Secretary
made to the Board, is pamphlet of 50 pages,
with an appendix of 81 pages containing the
School Laws of Vermont in force Sept, 1853,
arranged with references for the convenience Of
those officially connected with the schools. The
Report of the Board Of Education is a well
written document, clear and simple in style
biief, but comprehensive and satisfactory. 1t
gives an account of the doings of the Board
during the year, speaks particularly of the rec
concentration OF list of Text Books to be used
in the schools of the State, suggests few slight
alterations in the school law and gives an en-
couraging view of the operation Of our present
school system.
The Secrctarys Report details not only his
doings but also those of the Board. 1t is an
elaborate document containing much valuable
matter, and shows that the Secretary is an earn
est working man. From it we learn that four
teen Teachers Institutes have been held in the
State during the year, one in each county, last
ing two days. This is too short time for a
IDOTtu I'll urn, Uul SOInt SOOu 10 uONOlillIlNHOb
by awakening in teachers and others deeper
interest in the subject of Education.
The Secretary devotes several pages to an ac-
count of the selection of Text Books by the
Board He states infinitely the reasons which
governed the Board in their choice, speaks par
ticularly of each book recommended, and gives
list of the books. Though there are grave
objections to some of these, yet on the whole
we are inclined to think the selection will give
general satisfaction, and that important advan-
tagcs will result from the action of the Board
in this matter.
Over twenty pages of the Report are filled
with remarks of Town Superintendent chiefly
in regard to the manner in which the present
school law is regarded. These remarks are on
the whole favorable to the law and show a
greater or less degree of interest in the schools
in the various parts of the State. After fair
trial we are confident the system will be almost
universally approved, and will do great wor,
for Vermont. The Secretary devotes a large
portion of his Report to remarks on the new
school law; its main features, its character anC
design, and its anticipated effects, showing it
adaptation to the character of our citizens anC
the wants of our children. The subject o
school houses receives due share of attention
in the Report; and those Districts that ar
about to cree: new school houses will find there
in invaluable suggestions and important practi
cal information. Three designs Of school house
are taken from work published in New York
together with bills of the materials and labo
for each, and inserted in the Report. Thes
designs and bills will be found of no little SCI
vice to those who contemplate erecting schoc
houses
