RESOLUTIONS

Resolred, That the free school system of the
United States is the brightest star In the galaxy
OF the Republic, and that in Its maintenance and
perpetuity depend the present and future happi-
ness Of the American people; that the Democratic
party always have resisted and at all times here
after will resist any and all attempts looking to
division Of the public school fund, no matter for
what purpose; that the Democratic party have
been, IS now, and always will be in favor Of free
schools, free press, free speech, free trade, and
gold and silver as the only constitutional money
ofthe alton, paper being the illegitimate offspring
ResoIpea, That the base and hypocritical effort
Of the Republican party to introduce the school
question into the politics Of this country deserves
the condemnation of all liberal and enlightened
men of the nineteenth century, and especially SO
when II is we'll known to the nation at large that
the only fatal blow attempted to be struck at
the free schools Of the country was by the Repub-
lican party In Congress when It endeavored
to mix the white and black children in the same
schools.
As the third resolution Mr.. Davis offered the
constitutional amendment proposed by Mr..
Blaine,as follows:
No State shall make any law respecting an es-
tablishment Of religion or prohibiting the free ex-
ercise thereof, and no money raised by taxation
for the support Of public schools or derived from
any public fund therefor shall ever be under the
control Of any religious sect, nor shall any money
SO received ever be divided between religious

The Housa Chaplain.


70 the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: am happy to learn from your correspond
ent &C, /" that the newspaper reports Of Hon. Mr..
Barnum's remarks In advocating the claims OF
Rev. MIR. Townsend to the Chaplaincy, in the
Democratic caucus, were incorrect. It now re-
mains for the reporters, who are supposed to have
derived their information semi-ofically, from the
secretary Of the caucus, to explain how the error
occurred.
Your other correspondent, "vIndex." questions
my right to criticise the action Of the caucus in
the premises; but trust things have not yet ar
rived at such o pass that we may not discuss the
actions of our public servants and see whether
they comport with their professions. And sub
NIT ain, that, assuming the published accounts
Of the proceedings to be true, land had reason
TO suppose the contrary, since they had remained
uncontradicted for several days,) the selection Of
o man TO pray for the whole Government and ma
tion by vote ef II in House Of go members was
o mere partisan appeal, as "a piece OF political
strategy" was certainly not very creditable to
the party perpetrating 1t, nor any great honor to
the candidate 60 elected.
With regard to Rev. Mr.. Townsend, whom
never saw or heard OF TO my knowledge, and Of
whom have heard only favorable reports hereto
fore, am glad TO learn, both from &c" and the
editor of the New Haven P0llddfRni, quoted In
last nights Star, (who, while styling him s.pug-
nacious paIsoH, denies that he was ever driven
cut Of the State,) that the remark attributed TO
Mr.. Barnum was not only, as was sure, libel
on the State Of Connecticut-of which was once
Q resident-but on the reverend gentleman also,
and that be 10 not obnoxious to the charge which
such o statement implied. VKRfTAs.

At regular meeting OF the Moral Education
Society last evening the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That we as a society enter our solemn
protest against that portion Of the annual report
Of the Board Of Health which has reference to
licensing prostitution. 1t is simply making vice
lawful-legaliZing crime, which no government

Of the other, fer this We do not believe It to be-

found its way. Although widely known and
used, but few are aware Of Its medicinal virtues
and great curative properties. Practical expert
ment has proven that It Is q natural reservoir Of

plants and Rheumatism that were tnvulnerable
to drugs.
II has been discovered that India Rubber pos
sesses all the properties valuable as specific for
Pulmonary complaints, and cures many forms Of
Consumption and L Jung diseases. Combined with
whether external or internal Nearly all the

The most effectual way Of using the article Is In
the form Of . perforated plaster. The extensive
use Of ordinary Perforated or Porous Plasters IL

The only objection ever found with the ordinary
Rubber Porous Plaster Is that It acts too slowly
or to effect o cure.
A celebrated physician OF New York, who has
long made the medical properties OF Rubber q
study, has succeeded in making q great improve
msnt in Porous Plasters by Introducing Ospcine,
which overcomes all the former objections, causing
the Plaster to do in a few moments or hours that
which 4 formerly required days or weeks.
Capctne Is the most valuable ingredient ever
used as an external remedy. 1t operates with
astonishing vigor and relieves pain Immediately.

that an enterpristng firm IN New York took II In
