Assaults IIron Our sehaaI,-

A certain class Of Catholics, who control
the columns Of the Toledo Reriew, delight
in characterizing our Common Schools AZ
the nurseries Of dishonesty, vice and crime.
In an article referring TO the action Of the
Board Of Education on the proposition 20
exclude the Bible from our Public Schools,
Il saya:
II any Catholic Faiher can boas, that his
chIleren have steered cIenI Of the dangers that
menaced their pnritv and honesty In all its va
ripty " shapes, while attending the Cansnon
SEXUAL, he NAV we'll congratulate them on hav.
ing performed feat vainly attempted By thpu-
sands of others.
This is direct insult to the teachers
and managers Of our Public Schools, quite
a number OF whom are Catholics. We nre
pleased to know that those sentiments are
not endorsed by the more Intelligent porp
tion OF that church. Only that tigotry
which results from gross ignorance could
prompt the utterance Of alch baAe accu-
sation against our Com mon School system.
II is by such wanton attacks upon our
American istitutions, that the minds Of the
people are prejudiced against that church.
Catholics, or any other religious sect, are
at liberty to have Scctarian Schools IL they
prefer them. But when they characterize
our Public Schools as the generators Of
everything that is bad, they kindlc fame
which may prove too warm for them. =

enticcd into the woods by man, who out

and he then went away. The wretch then

Battle OF New Orleans.

Vow that we have the second addition of
Gen. JACKSON at New Orleans, in the per-
son Of Gen. SHERIDAN, and as the sth Of
January usually carries the memory back
70 this important event, it is we'll to refresh
our memories just at this time with refer
eaee to the course pursued by Gen. JACKSON,
which crowned his efforts with success and
called forth the applause of the new Re-
public. History informs. us that, although
the British designs upon New Orleans had
long been known, yet the imbecile Admin
istration had proceeded in the preparation
for defense in such a dilatory manner that
while the expedition was landing, arms for
the defense, shipped on Hat-boats on the
Upper Ohio, were floating leisurely down
the i iS '=sippi, tying up Of nights The
Administration did little; jackson did
great things. First he put aside the non
scnse OF civil government and courts, by
declaring martial law. and treating every
person as enlisted and subject to his order.
He pressed all men into the service that
could be Of any service. lie gathered up
all sorts Of arms and ammunition. He
seize cotton for material for intrench-
nents anl wagons and animals for work.
He negls:ted nothing that could prepare
tcr defense. lie disregarded caste, and en-
listed negroes in the service. His determi.
nation and energy must have had an ins
spring effect on his men. The rashness of
the British in. their mode Of attack conspir-
ed with his thorough preparation. They
advanced to the assault Of his line of in
trenchments as il they scorned to wait the
affect of artillery, or to regard it as an i'm
pedim ,nt; and they advanced only to
slaughter.
Pence had been agreed to by the ncgoia-
hons Of the two countries before this battle.
Rumors Of il soon began to circulate. Tie
measures Of preparation and the battle
seemed to lift JACKSON to a state of mental
eIaltation. He continued the same r gor
81 martial law long after the victory and
even after the intelligence OF the peace
had bcco ne general. A citizen wrote
letter TO public journal, mildly comment
ing OF the proiongation of such rigorous
martial law. JACKSON arrested him and
the editor, and ordered them tried by court
martial for mutiny. A Judge issued a
writ Of habeas corpus to bring them before
him. JACKSON tore mp the writ and mr.
rested the Judge, and ordered him tried by
.souIt martial for mutiny.
O.heial advices of the peace interrupted
thess energetic proceedings, and JACKSON
dissolved his martial law. He was brought
before the court for contempt and fined
5000 which he paid. A long time after
Warl-aitsr h. had retired from the Pres.-
dency--COngreSs refunded il to him. The
reason il was not done sooner was that his
party insisted that the act refunding the
nne should be 80 framed AS to CEN
cure the Judge and approve the legality Of
rAssNoS's course.

A papr, expressive Of ths sense
Of Republicans OF ths county ON the
subject Of changing our county convention
system, is in circulation and Is being very
generally signed. The paper is addressed
to the Republican Central Committee and
suggests to them the propriety Of at once
submitting the question to the voters of the
Republican party.
We certainly concur In this effort TO ef-
feet change from the present system, IL
said change will be an improvement, which
we think can hardly fail to be the case, and
we have no doubt the committee will take
the necessary steps to submit the question
to the electors at an early day.
The following is a copy Of the petition
now in circulation
TO he Members cf he Wood County Rep,b-
iicdn Central Committee.
GENTLEMEN undersigned Repub-
lican electors Of Wood county respectfully
suggest TO you the necessity and propriety
OF taking the preliminary steps for submit

question of change from the present avs
tenn Of holding mass conventions for the
nomination OF. candidates.
We are fully Satisfied that the best inter
csts Of the Republican party in our county
dictate the wisdom and necessity OF change.
