twenty thousand dollars. This. for
about twelve hundred children. il q

continued two OF three years should
leave our public schools IN vastly better

Der Of Lew buildings should be erected,
and more modern furniture. maps aud

itself should also be Of higher order.
With free schools for ell who choose to

greatly increase. The people do not

Many Of our citizens will recall him

Shortly before the war Of the rebel.

patronized. The war came on, and
with it came to Mr.. W. the feeling of
sympathy FOR the South, that SO many

ance, as he had perfect right to do,
provided he was willing to face the
consequences, which be was, and did,
The consequences were that his sub

american Progress, edited by the same
man writes hattering editorials OF men
whose political friends in 1851 stranS-
led his paper on account OF Its politics.
He goes further, he refers to their
record during that time and uses his
facile pen to lau1 their acts. Thus he
speaks Of John Sherman. "l1e led IN
opposing the extension Of slavery from
his advent into public life, and he
battled manfully against disunion
sentiments just prior to che war Of the
rebellion of 1851. Daring the con

wise and safe counselor in all meas

exerted more potent influence IN
behalf Of the Union than he
Had he spoken then as now, of men
and events as they they occurred and
as he now sees them, the probability
is that the Family Visitor would not
have died nor the CLARION been borne,
1t is evident from the above exam,

to edit a political paper and the only

the locality in to account, which will
take the best Democrat or Republican,
and once having decided that lues.

place different construction upon 1t
and the Judiciary will no doubt see
that the spirit Of the law is executed
but it strikes us that law composition
should be placed in the hands Of gram
marians. Especially in this instance
will the error prove to be vicious one
in case, either that it is intended that
wine and elder may be sold or in case
that it may be so construed.
Taken all in all, we look upon the
bill as one entire J unworthy of the
grand cause it proposes to aid, both
on account Of The mode it proposes to
adopt and to US, the apparently loose
in which it has been written.
In this article We have not discussed
the merits Of the question at all, so
far as the issue in its present shape re-
lates to temperance. Oar intention
is, in this, simply to place the law as
it has been passed, before our readers,
together with our views CT the law in
its proposed working and will leave
the discussion Of the merits Of Local
Option as Temperance Measure, for
