therefore refused 10 vote for him,
but were disposed to agree upon any
other man Of fair ability and char
aCter, not violently opposed 10 them
In politics. On the other hand, the
Radical members held the balance OF
power. They could not elect theirown
candidate, but they could either elect
johnson or his opponent. They uni
tedly refused to vote for EIheridRe, and
declared that unless some man not OBJ
jectionable to them was named, they
would vote for johnson. The sensible
Conservatives then asked these Ratii-
Gals TO meet In caucus for consultation,
and they did so. They were asked to
name man for whom they would DO

The Conservatives accepted the offer,
aud the next day, by the votes OF ali
the Radical and part Of the C0nserva~

OUR SCHOOLS.

EDITOR 1ETELLIdRRCER :-PeEmlt mo
through the medium OF your paper to
offer aB u teRcher few words for The
consideration Of those who are ardent
lovers OF our common, FREQ school sys.
tenn and promoters Of the advancement
OF education among tho youth Of our
country. First. We truthfully assert
that our school System lB Ia all respects
broad enough and competent 10 be-
stow upon every youth under It's con.
troll an adequate knowledge OF the
different branches OF common school
education, besides having access to the
privileges afforded by higher schools OF
learning.
Then, In consideration OF these un-
mIstakabls facts, written In the very
history OF our country, does II not be-
hooVe every true, intelligent ciLiz5n In
this progressive age 10 act with vigil.
30 muCh mobiles the condition OF our
situation In lie, and which brings true
happiness TO every home. We then
unhesitatIngly conclude ln the matter
before US, that not only has the teacher
great work to perform, In this ex-
tenslye field stretched out before
him, like the rolling billowa OF the
ocean. HIS field OF labor presents Itself
to US unlimited; It's boundary lines ex-
tend far beyond the district State or
nation In which he lRbors. The effects
are mighty, bearing on all portions Of
civilization, casting benign Influence
In the remotesL parts OF the different
stages OF society. The work that Is be.
fore the teacher In substance and true
moral worth, goes TO perpetuate and
firmly foster those grand principles
that bind inseparable the free, Christian
institutions OF our nation. But View
Ing these things In their true light, is It
not nevertheless true that parents have
an important part to act In the same
before us2 Is 1t not equally essential
TO the success Of this great and responsl.
BILE work that they should have a CO.
operating influence with the teacher In
bringing about the desired result? The
ignorance and oversight Of parents In
this one respect has sadly taught us the
lesson that.many teachers have labored
In vain, and children have returned
from school, II any, worse than when
they began the term. Every advan-
cling generation brings with II. the
knowledge OF the great importance and
necessity of preparing the road that
leads up the steep hill OF science, where
rest the learned and beuefactors OF eve.
