WHAT THE ABoLIrIoNlsTs SAY OF LINCOLN
The Boston Liberator publishes the follow
ing from Intelligent gentlemen in Illinois"
which appears to give the ultra anti-slavery
view of things in that section:
eve are having a fiery campaign here in
Illinois. Lincoln is evidently on the inside
track, although the Doug lasites are making a
tremendous noise.
"Many Republicans of Northern Illinois
find it very hard to support Lincoln, on
account of his position on the fugitive slave
law, slavery in the District of Columbia, the
admission Of slave States, &c. They think
he is not so good as the Chicago Platform,
and too much like his political progenitor,
Henry Clay, who, everybody knows, was the
most successful advocate and defender of
slavery; although, since Stewards speech on
the LIST of February last, they are quite as
willing to sustain Lincoln as they would have
been to support Seward. On the whole, if
Lincoln cannot be elected bccause of his
anti-slavery views, God help the nation"

s6T The friends of Col. Washington will be
glad to hear that he " is in no manner response
ble for what appears" in the columns of the
Nationat-"in no manner gives direction to its
tone or opinions" The National has recently
been engaged in repeating the DID, worn out
charges circulated against Latham by the Black
Republican San Francisco Times throughout the
last canvass. Hence the friends of Washington,
and he has many of them up this way, will be
pleased to learn that he is in no manner respon-
sible for the lack of discretion and proper feel
ing recently exhibited by that paper.
We sincerely regret the course being pursued
by the National. We gladly acknow gze liz
ability. 1t has excellent ground in which to sow
the seeds of Democracy. We regret therefore
that instead of sowing the genuine seed, it is
spending its time in strewing tares broad cast
over the inviting field.

4. Hathern, teacher. Number of children in the
district, 26 This school was commenced jan
uary 9.
The number of scholars in attendance is ten
some less than one half of the school district
census.
There is quite a respectable school house be-
longing to this district, erected FIVE years ago at
a cost of $500. 1t is located about the centre of
the district, is well ventilated and heated by a
stove. This district was created at the last ses
sion of the Board of Supervisors.
Yesterday | visited this school, The exer
cises ia spelling, reading arithmetic and geop.
faphy passed off remarkably well for scholars no
further advanced.
The pupils are being thoroughly taught, and
they understand, perfectly, what has been taught
them. The teacher requires them to think for
themselves.
Miss Hathern is a thorough teacher, and ex-
hibits that peculiar tact which qualities the pos
SCISSOR to govern without seeming to exercise
authority. The school is orderly and we'll reg
ulated, and many of the scholars are old enoueh
to appreciate the time spent at school and the
service of good teacher, though they are back
ward in their studies.
Parents should see that their children are well
provided with suitable books, to aid them in
their education, for without proper books no
pupils can make rapid progress in their studies.
Parents should not be so blind to their own in
interests and the welfare OF their children. as to
send them to school without a proper set of
school books, and let their children sit in the
school room in idleness
Heretofore parents in this district have not
taken any interest in the education of their chill
dren There is something wrong when we see
only ten scholars, in a school district of twenty
SIX children, attending public school. This does
not speak well tor Whisky Greek district, when
they have competent teacher.
The manner in which some children are
reared in this State, giving to the children them
selves the right to dispose of their own actions,
renders it difficult for teacher to draw the ctil-
dren from the street, unless, Indeed, he studies
more to please the whims and fances of the
child than promote its moral and mental culture.
In visiting the different schools of the county,
It is truly wonderful to witness the little interest
manifested on the part of some parents in edu-
eating their children, whilst others are begin
ming to see the necessity of keeping their chill
dren at school in regular attendance, and not
let them grow up in ignorance.
