tricts are required to elect directors. And
it is obvious that notice cannot properly be
given under the Act of 1859 until 1t zoe,
iuto effect. The conclusion follows that the
meeting provided for in Section 9, of the
Act of 1859, cannot legally be holden on
the first Monday of March, 1860, because
the requisite notice cannot be given.
If this is the true state Of the case, (and l
understand eminent legal gentlemen whom
l have consulted, Judge Dillon among them,
to take the same view of it as I do,) then,
we seem in this matter of school laws to be
in very undesirable position. I offer the
above remarks, and the people must take
them for what they are worth. OF one thing
l feel sure, when that "Board Of Education
shall cease to act, and shall 60 to its merited
grave, the people, with . one accord, will
say, "Anaen." sa l9bra
If am right, the question may be asked,
Is there no remedy? Must our schools cease
Ny answer is, all the remedy 1 now think of
is the one, if it be one, found in the Laws of
1858, Act 8, section 6, paragraph fourth,
which provides that the Directors of the
Districts shall hold their Office for one year,
ind until their successors are elected and
qualified. If there can be no legal election of
Directors next Monday, why do not the old
Directors hold over, until their successors are
elected and qualified? c. WoopHoUsE.

Ex-senator Sumner made q very dirty
abolition speech in The Senate not long since
and Senator Chestnut, Of South Caralna
made dirty reply. Neither of the
speeches should have been permitted on
the floor Of the American Senate. Sum
ner's speech is denounced by MANY Repub-
lican papers, and the democratic papers
are specially, and universally down upon
il. The Democrats and Republicans have
an undoubted right 10 abuse Sumner, as he
was elected 10 the Senate by fusion Of Re-
publicans and Democrats. He is their
child-they begot him-and as like be-
get, like, he couldn't be any thing else but
a dirty fellow but, because he is dirty,
should his parents abuse him Tor it2

common country over and above party or

The New York delegation, which was
Thought 10 be unreliable, is said to be firm
for Douglas.
An attempt will be made to reopen the
platform, and if this be done, discussion
of indefinite length will be the result.
And, whsn they get TO the work Of ballot
ing, there is no telling how long they will
remain in session. The additional strength
that Douglas gains by the secession, will
not give him two-thirds, aid it may take

Especial Dispatch to the Missouri Democrat. ]
SPRINeTIELp, June 10.
Col. Jackson and Judge Hough, together
with their reporter made their debate in
town TO day, and opened the ball at / o'clock
Col. jackson addressed the crowd first, and
enlarged considerably on banks and rail-
roads.
From what l can learn, he does not
make the same speech on the railroad ques-
ton IN one section that he does in another.
In ianey county he says it is a local ques-
lion and the proptiety Of further aid, very
doubtful, whilst in this place he is sound
railroad man.
After the Colonel was through, Sample
Orr, Of This place, announced himself an
independent Opposition candidate for Gov
ernor, which took Claiborne by surprise
He gave Jackson severe rebuke, in re-
garl TO his railroad position, which was re.
ceivsd with tremendous appluse by the
crowd. Sample Orr is a self. made man,
and good stunper, and commences the
canvass at this place, which h. will oon-
tinue with Jackson up to election. He is
sound on:the Railroad question, consistent
opposer OF National Democracy, and will
receive heavy support in Southwest Mis-
souri,. Judge Hough addressed The crowd
in his dull monotomous way, and elected
no applause from the crowd. Gen. Viii.
son being so slow TO accept the nomination
of the Central Committee, the Opposition
thought 1t better 10 have scme one IN the
field 10 encounter jackson.

TOBACCO SALEs.-On the. first page will
be found an account of the Premium To-
bacco Sales in ST.. Louis last week, The
break was not as large as usual but the
quality was good, and sold well, Messrs.
Lewis & Bros, of this place, purchased
the premium manufacturing hogshead, pay
ing the highest price ever paid anywhere
for Tobacco. Why is it that the Tobacco
growers OF this section do not compete for
the premiums? They would lose nothing,
if they failed 10 get he premium, and should
they succeed in getting that, it would '.pu,
money in their purse" to say nothing OF
the honor. Let them Try next year.
Speaking Of premium tobacco" Mr.. J.
w. Lewis gave us the ether day plug
from The box manufactured by them six
years ago, md which took The premium a,
Boonville-lhe first ever awarded i'll the
Slate. The tobacco is sound and tough
chews finely, but is rather strong for our
taste. Ii shows what good stock well
manufactured is worth, as it loses nothing
by being kept, but on the contrary gains
what most ehewers desire, strength.

AN OLD VETERAN SPEAKs.-A cores
pendent Of the last Brunslulcker, who, ii we
mistake not the language and tone, is one
of the old democratic leaders OF Howard,
thus writes of current political topics:
What are we to understand by non-inter-
vention by Congress in Territories on the
subject Of slavery? A deception 10 suit
designing politicians. Common sense and
constitutional law tell US that there cannot
be- any such thing IN this government as
non-intervention by Congress in Terrific
ries. In the incipient Stage of territorial
government, Congress organizes 1t, as that
body Gl,Uays does, authorizes it to elect
territorial Legislature Judges &c-so that
it can commence a territorial government
in accordance to the Constitution Of the
United States. If the Territorial Legisla-
ture pass any laws contrary TO the Con-
stitution Of the United States, then Con-
gress, if brought before that body, ought to
arrest the progress of such law, or the
courts,as the case may be. Strictly speaking
there is no such thing IN this government
as non intervention by Congress in ter
ritorial government.
Yet we find even in the Charleston Con-
vention platform the Cincinnati platform is
brought in, but 10, ii uas necessary 10 modl-
ty ii, by words of explanation! 1t is not
,iie platform Of principles at this momen-
tous crisis, for the SAFES Right party 10
stand on.
The celebrated Douglas, of Illinois, goes
for Squatter Sovereignty; this is as bad as
the Wi'mot PrOuisO! Squatler sovereignty
this comprehends an absurdity, sovsr-
eighty in toto, over the Constitution of the
United STATES, over Congress, over
the executive and over the Judiciary. This
finally will uproot the whole Of the United
States government! /
Wha. are the patriots Of the United
States government 10 do? The friends Of
non-intervention, alias squatler sovereign
ty alas Wimot Proviso, have raised a con-
fusion in the Charleston convention, and
succeeded in dividing the convention, ons
part 10 meet al Baltimore. and the other IN
Richmond, Virginia, in This month June
10 make nominations d, these points!
|; is hoped and an,icipa'e ed that the two
wings of the Democratic party will yet con-
vens al Baltimore, agree on the majority
platform Of principles as adopted at the
Charleston Convention, end nominate a can
