Our Village Schools.

| wish to enquire, Mr. Editor, why it is
that, while school district No. has provided
six ample school rooms, another, in one of
the church vestries, is needed? Is it to ac-
commodate the children CT the district, or to
make room for the children of non-residents,
quartered around among their friends or re-
lations? One boy cleans out the stable, an
other brings in the wood, or if a girl, aids
the mistress in wiping the dishes, or in tend
ing the baby-and so to the high school or
to one Of the lesser departments. Additions
to our school in this way, in four years more,
if equal to the increase the last two wears,
will drive the children of the residents-who
pay school tax yearly of % or 30 per cent
on their lists--out of our school rooms, or
make it necessary for the district to open
schools in the vestries of all the churches in
the village. Z.

is reason to believe that the removal OF Gen.

Mr.. Seward or Mr.. Blair, and that II has In

terminate In the withdrawal or expulsion Of

The Great Feature OF the Late Eiee.
tIOn0.

The causes that produced the late revolution
in public sentiment is thus stated by the New
York EEprsss; .--
The Republican journals would fain convert
this gigantic contest Of principle into one OF a q
mere febuke Of the Administration, because II
| had not properly conducted the warl The war
ia bat an incident and accident Of the contest.
The struggle has been one for personal liberty,
II no. for iife--for the rights of States and the
Independence Of States-againat a revolution
directed to subvert our own Federal Constitution,
az well as Federal and State laws. The whole
result Is q complete revolution 10 the admins
tration of the Government, which the Presi-
dent himself will, must follow, when the new
Congress Feassembles. Il does not end the war,
but It hastens the end, and II prepares the way
for the restoration of the Union, the Constitu-
tion and the Laws Since the struggle between
old John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, in 1900,
Il is the great struggle Of this our American
age.
The Pike county (Ilinois) Democrat, in re-
joicing over the victory there. says:
Il teaches that Pike county is against Lin
coins Emancipation Proclamation Of the 22d
September last; that we are opposed to being
taxed to buy niggers, or homes for them, or to
transport them from Cairo all over the North,
free OF expense.
Il teaches that old Pike does not indorse the
President when he suspends the writ Of habeas
corpus, seizes her oitIzens and hurries them off
to Washington or Fort Warren, and denies
them hearing before q jury Of their country.
Il teaches that old Pike condemns the
wholesale plunder practiced by Government
officials.
Il teaches that old Pike puts the seal Of con-
demnation upon ell that class Of patriots In her
midst who call those who differ with them upon
minor questions "Traitors and Secessionists."

The Democrauc Element to DO hA
A"o plunged.

Ths Landau letter published In the Jou'na'
of Yesterday, Nov. -, to which reference 20
msds IN another article in this paper, Gays near
TIA close: "Those who are familiar with 'ne
debates in the State Conventions when ra'
fed the Constitution [the Federal Constitution
know how bitter was the fight. The Demo
c,atio elemeut," the writer continues, "then az
now, was opposed to the Union, and has plan'eo
the seeds Of Disunion In every State Consu'u-
tion."
The above is the revival Of an old Federai
sIauder. The Democratic element" was no',
aud lie not now opposed to the Union on 'ne
contrary, It was, and is now the only element
that consolidated; that has preserved ana can
now save the Union our fathers made.
MADISON, JEYfKRsoN and their Democrauc
comua,riots were for the Union. They were
ouuosed, as Democrats are now, to cen'rah-
cation of power in the Federal Government
making Il resemble an sristocraoy or mon
a,cbv. which the old Federalists desired ana
- vb,cb their legitimate successos-the modern
Republicans or Abolitionists-are seeking 10
establish.
The writer above quoted charges that "the
Democratic element has planted the SEEDS o'
Di,upion in all the State Consultations this
is about as gross pelyersion OF the futn as
tho "f,ther of lies" himself could have invent
ee. "The Demo cratic element" has incorpo-
rated into every State Constitution the princi-
pie of self.governmeut--she right OF the peo-
ole Of each State TO regulate their local anAhs
and domestic institutions to suit themselves
The contrary principle has sowed the aeeos oi
Diouuiou, and caused them to geininate ana
bear the bitter fruits the American people are
nov gathering.
The Times and Journal letter writer, says
Of The Democratic element" in the Stale Con-
ati,utIous--not in one but In ell Of them-"Aii
this will be changed when the Union cause mas
triumphed." That Is, when the Aooiitionis's
are frmls established in the seat OF po"ef
then the Democratic element" will oe eA
nupsed from the State Constitutions, which will
be ths destruction of the States themselves, as
they have existed, and do now exist under our
present National Constitution. But that Con
s.i,ution must necessarily perish along with the
States and their Constitutions. This viii an
pihilate what our fathers called sud what We
have learned to call ''the Union"
When Aboitlonists talk Of the "union
cause" the words are lie--a blasphemy in
their mouths. They mean. as the writer above
spoken Of does, the cause Of Disunion' oil
anarchy and blood--of destruction alike TO the
y MON and the States. .t'.t,r .a

"POronAo," !" the correspondent Of the Balh-
more San, under date of Washington. Nov.g7,
writes:
The letter Of Mayor, Wallsch giving the
reasons why the, support Of numerous eman-
cipated slaves shall not be thrown upon the CITY
Government has been referred by Colonel Dos
Ter 70 General .Wadsworih, who, In turn, has
referred II to the War, Department., and thence
il has gone, as understand, to the President
Before the emancipation act masters OF slaves
were Obliged to take care Of the invslids, young.
old, etc., and it csnnot reasonably be expected
that the city can support those who are made
paupers By no act Of It's own ls !.
We opine that good many other cities ana
towns VIII reason about the smsncipated negro
paupers that may be thrown upon them, as
Washington does. They will be apt to throw
or at least attempt to throw them back upon
the hands Of the Government that, BY setsing
them free, released their masters from sli obli-
cation to provide for their support.
