Of reaching our readers 10 distant
parts Of the State before the election,
we desire earnestly to call the at,cn-

lance Of tho duty that is before them.
On Friday, the sth day Of this
month, you arc called upon to vote for
or against education for tue rising
eueration-what will DO your yer.
dictl Can it be that any district in
Lewis county will cast upon itself The
stigma Of opposition to intelligence

tain districts in this and some Of the
adjacent counties will vote again st tue

sake-for tho sake Of their counties
mud foe tho good name Of the State,
that they will do otherwise.
We shall not attempt now to show
By argument Why it is the duty Ofovc-
~ citizen to vote for "levy," fer the
reason that
"a man convinced against his will
lsofthe same opinion STILL"
And we have no hopes Of convincing
men who-hayiug had the glorious re
suits Of free schools before their eye
for years-will allow selfish pscuni
ary consideration to blind them agains
their own best interests.

themselves in the van, See to it tia
every friend Of education votes an,

will result in disaster to our side of III,
