Good Sense.

The educational convention that
met last week in Nashville, deserved
to be praised for their wisdom in
recommending that civil districts
be empowered to levy tax for pub
lie school purposes. This measure
embodies the wisdom and expert
ence Of all communities that have
ever put into successful operation
an efficient system OF popular edu-
cation. 1t brings the whole subject
of public schools directly home to
the people, and gives to each COM
munity, or civil district, an oppor-
tunity TO act in the matter as they
may think best, so far as raising
money for popular instruction is
concerned. And as this whole cues
ton is enc which no community has
any right to settle for another, the
power of taxation is properly lodg-
ed in the hands of those who are TO
be benefited and who best know
their own wants. There is more
sound democracy in this measure,
that in any which we have known
to be suggested for a long time

\ NEW STATE.

1t will be remembered by many
readers of this paper, that for more
that twenty years, it has from time
to time advocated the erection of q
new State out of the territory at
present composing Western Ken
lucky, West Tennessee, and a por-
ton of North Mississippi. 1t affords
US pleasure, therefore, to see our
brethren Of the press coming to our
assistance on this subject. We copy
the following from the Union City
Courier, ana commend it to the
careful and thoughtful considera-
ton of all concerned. Let us have
the State by all means:
THE STATE OF JACKSON.
In the formation of the State of
Tennessee but little care was given
to convenience, natural boundaries
or homogeniOusness of interests
The reasons for organizing a new
State from West Tennessee, South
West kentucky and North Missis-
sippi are numerous and powerful
Here we have a compact state, of
the richest soil and finest adVanta-
ges that our country can produce
Here there is no conflict of local and
sectional interest. Measures that
are beneficial to one will not be bur-
thensome or oppressive to the 9TH
err. states grow up as the mature
offspring of wsll-directed civil and
commercial agencies, and in their
natural development become vital
members of the worlds govern
meut aud civilization. Human fac
ulties and natural advantages now
demand the organization of a new
State to be composed Of the cOun-
ties of Ballard, Galloway, Fulton.
Graves, Hickman, Marshall and Nc
Cracker, of South West Kentucky:
of Benton, Carroll, Dyer, Eayette,
Gibson, HardemaD, Hardin, Hay
wood, Henderson, Henry. Lake,
Lauderdale, Madison, McNairv.
Obiou, Shelby, Upton and Weak
lev, OF West Tennessee, and of AL
corn, Desoto, Marshall, Prentiss.
Tippah and Tishamingo, of North
Mississippi. They possess wealth
and advantages grand in the march
of this nation. Agriculture, trade,
commerce and all the arts of civili-
ization mark their progress. They
constitute the centre of industrial
and intellectual life, from which the
great outgrowths OF civilization
must expand. They have a popula-
ton of about 100000 and are in
creasiRg in wealth and population
much more rapidly than the remain
der of the States TO which they now
belong. Nature and civilization
both conspire to make them one of
the greatest and most prosperous
sections of the union. Thore is no
reasonable cause why they should
not organize into new State.
As TO the name it matters but lit
tie, but as a large portion of the
territory is embraced within what
is known as Jackson's Purchase,
would not the State of Jackson be
an appropriate name?
