Lest I'll the Public Schools should seem
TO be implicated in your censure upon the

in view of the high state of politicalfeeling
now prevalent, l have adopted for the pres.
emit, - q necessary prscaution the impartial
rule, that no hurrahing for either Presiden.
tial candidate will be allowed within the
precincts of the school building, inasmuch
as it tends to quarrelling, and to divert,the
minds of the children from their proper bus.
mess. If any boy of either party attempts
to chastise one of the opposing party ne
will be dealt with according to the cir
cumstances of the case. This rule will be
impartially and rigidly enforced until after
the Presidential election. The teachers
voluntarily refrain from the discussion Of
political subjects in the school building
reserving to themselves the right of every
free man, and tree woman OF expressing
themselves freely on other occasions. The
effect is that they are on terms of friend
ship with each other.

Election Next Thursday.

No one should forget that the State,
Congressional and County elections take
place next Thursday, the 27th inst, nor
should any friend of the old Union, with
its Law and Order, fail to cast his vote on
that day for candidates which come near
est representing his principles, aims and
desires. The opposition to good Gov
eminent will doubtless attempt to i'm
pose ridiculous test oaths upon you,
and in many other ways try to intimidate
you from exercising the elective franchise,
but heed them not. Under no circumstances
permit yosw enemies to cheat you out Of your

rather than disfranohisehent.

THE ALABAMA.

Cant. Raphael Semmes of Dixie will hence
forth have ample leisure for those literary pui-
suits for which his numerous contrlp"IioHs "
the British journals eyinoe so rare an apu'uue,
His latest effort is bulletin of the defeat and
destruction of his lost ship, IN winch ne con-
trives 70 insinuate that Capt. Winslow sought
IN drown him and his fugitive crow-an iniinua-
ton emphatically Routed by the published log
Of the Dccrhound, by which vessel he was res
cued from the ocean and saved from capture
II is hardly possible that Semmes did not gee
that log, or hear the material fact stated by Mr..
Lancaster, his rescucr, so as TO Lno'o that hi
insinuation was false when be uttered it. He was
beaten in fair fight-a fight which he beGan--and
wherein he needed only 10 DO the better seaman
and warrior to have achieved success. But
burning unarmcd merchantmen is a business
more congenial to his tastes, and those OF his
British patrons and crew, than fighting an hon
est ship-of-war with the Stars and Stripes waving
above her and crew Of brave blue-jackets at
her guns. He will Of course be toasted and
toasted by the enemies of Human Liberty on
either side of the Channel, bat no will hardly be
able to get to sea with another ship so formida-
bic and so destructive as the Alabama. Capt.
Semmes. like his master, j. D., is near the end
of his rope.
Kearsarge, whence our victorious ship Is
named, is a mountain, half a mile high, near
the center Of New Hampshire one Of the senti-
mel outposts of the White Hills, but not con-
nected with them. The Unioniots of the Gran
ito State will honceiorth regard this noble
eminence with a prouder affection, since ITS
name is indssolubly blended with one of tho
happiest exploits Of our Navy.
We hope Capt. Winslow will find visit to
our harbor within the line Of bis duty ere long.
Our merchants and scaiaring men would doubt
less like to meet him and his officers ct dinner,
and might possibly give them one as good as
British sympathy profered to semmes, but
which that crestfolcn corsair had no appetite
for. And would Mt the seamen of our port like
to have a grasp Of the hand from and festive
hour with the crew of the Kearsarge one Of
these days.
Our Navy will not be able to coax another
fight out of the Rebel fllibusters; but there
are a good many blockadc-runners still ahoat,
and picking them up is profitable business

The xxxvnIth tongres, which has Just
closed its longer session, was an unc6mn,9niy
green one. We believe not more than half its
members ever before held seats in either House.
A very considerable proportion Of its members
are men Of quite moderate abilities-about
equal to the duties Of justices Of the peace
Some of them bought their nominations out
right; Others traded for them; perhaps fifty in
all got in because they were really fit for !egis
lators, and the People knew it. 1t ig solemn
fact that we do not send so able men relatively
to Congress as were sent forty to sixty years
ago; and our detestable system Of Primary
Meetings and Regular Nominations are the
main cause of the falling of, though our
wretched practice Of combining the choice OF
each district to residents therein-a practice
founded neither in law nor in reason-is partly
responsible for it. Neither Clay, Webster nor
Calhoun, could remain in the House eight years
under the prevailing system. What district
will set the example of calling some
able and upright statesman by public
requsition 10 serve il in the next House
We ought to have Edward Everett Salmon
p. Chase, Henry C. Carey, Hamilton Fish,
Gerrit Smith, John p. Kennedy, &c, &c, in
that House; while our political opponents
should likewise send to it Willard Fillmore,
Charles O'ConOr, Judge Woodward, George M.
Dallas, &C., &C., if they can. But we shall
never again have strong Congress until in Sc
lecting candidates 1.-the shrieks Of locality" are
wholly disregarded. Why should an eminent
Copperhead be excluded from Congress by the
fact that he lives in Pittsburgh or Republican
by the mere fact Of his residences in old Berks :
Do lot us have an end of this!
The present Congress did some good things
very tardly-psssing its Tax and Tariff bills,
for example-failed to pass several excellent
measures, such as the National Bankrupt bill
and that which struck blow at the vitals OF
Railroad Monopoly-did its best, somewhat re-
luctantly, TO recruit our heroic armes-showed
great weakness, if nothing worse, in allowing
the Whisky spectators to carry of and
divide several Millions Of Dollars which
honestly belonged and should have been
secured 10 the Tressury--and allowed itseli
TO be sublimely fooled in the repeal Of the bill
prohibitory of gambling in Gold. The assur
ance that repeating this bill would reduce the
premium on Gold was simply absurd-wo trust
