ic National Convention of the 23d April
1860, at Charleston, for the nomination
of Democratic Candidates, for Presi-

headed ssResources, !" b gives a. reliable

$208,l2 10. Can any man of common
sense, any person gifted With the least
insight into our depressed pecunisry
condition, and the dilapidated situation
Of our county treasuries, possibly sup
pose that reasonable legislators will pass
appropriation bills with such slender
basis upon which to found them? How
ever, it may be SO, for Who can tell what
financial problems are 30 intricate that
Republican Regulators may not solve
them? In addition to the above sum,

this general head of Resources" 40

probable State tax Of 1860" $780,

favorable showing of IN anxious parti-
zan State official, having direct charge
of the financial management of the
State, We have the above doubtful assets
to meet the estimated ordinary expendi-
lures of over 100000 90. Besides
this, be it remembered, that the Auditor
shows in the Treasury, Nov. 9Th, 1859,
cash balance amounting to $30,l96 81
Thus We find the Treasury to have been
bankrupt Nov. 9th, 1859, in the sum oil
$22,479 63! The above items Of re-
sources may be calculated as available,

$s3,985 SO to meet an irreducible est.

In examining carefully the Auditors

an error of one thousand dollars in tho
amount paid tho institution for the
Blind at Vinton, Benton co. We have
corrected the amount accordingly, show

the Auditor himself of an crror Of some
hundreds of dollars in the amount Of

amendments, which they believe will re-
move all valid objections.
Under the provisions Of the Constitution,
all laws passed by tho Board Of Education
are subject to alteration, amendment or re-
peal by the General Assembly. Tho law
IS amended will BE- laid before you for your
consideration; and il is earnestly hoped that
you will only make such additions to it IS
you may deem essentially necessary to give
it vitality without materially changing its
provisions.
Repeated and radical changes il our
school laws, though sometimes necessary,
arc always attended with temporary incon-
veniencc, and frequently with serious inju-
~, and hence it is particularly DESTROYS to
avoid them unless they are indispensable to
the prosperity Of our schools.
Popular education is one Of the most i'm
portant interests Of the State. A much
greater number Of the people are personal
" identified with its failure or success than
with any other subject Of legislation. 1t Is
necessary, therefore, that the utmost pro-
caution should DO observed in anything you
may deem it your duty to do for the pro-
motion Of this great object; and in this SEN
timent ! am fully persuaded that have
your hearty concurrence. 1t is oil impor-
tant that the school laws should be cOnsid-
cred and acted upon definitely and finally
At IN early day Of the session, in order that
they may be published and distributed IN
time for the school district elections in the
spring. Their circulation in pamphlet form
should not be restricted to school officers,
but should be sent broadcast among the
people, in order that they may become "a
miliar with their provisions. At least
every head Of family should be supplied
with = copy. We have over one hundred
thousand voters who are interested in our
school district meetings, and to enable
them to become familiar with their dates
and obligations, tho school laws should b
circulated exclusively among them.

Of tone which showed the extent and bitter
ness OF their feeling. Pugh and Douglas re-
piled dffantly- and threatened destruction 10

inaiion and reeriminatiOn followed, efch
charging Ihe other with inconsistency. aud
having thrown the first stone. Finally Doug
las promised when they all should have fin
irhcd- he would reply TO all at once, so we
may expect to hear from him shortly. 1t is
generally considered that Douglas bore him
self manfully in the wordy warfare, and was
more than a match for the combined assail-
ants He completely extinguished Clay, of
Alabama, whose insolenee Of manner he re-
buked in an annihilating strain OF sarcasm
and contempt.
