Besides these objections to the particular
nrovitlooa of lh« law, the policy in which it
is founded ia itself very questionable. Tba
l*ftple of this country are so keenly alive to
their own Interests ; ao little under the influ
ence uf long continued usages! aod change
from one employment to another ao readily ;
that tba interference of the Government in
a (breed direction to their labour by

Maned whatever. As the raising of silk co-

its eueouragemetii by bouaty, than any Other
production which the Legislature may be of
opioion can be raised with advantage.
If the Legislature should be of the opinion,
however, that the law is founded in Sound

would recommend that it be so modified, as
to take off the bounty now allowed upon silk

Education.
No distribution has been made during the
past year of the fends appropriated by tbe
acta of 1837 and 1838, to establish a general
system of education by Common Schools.
This delay haa proceeded from the exhausted
state of the Treoeury and the inability uf the
Central Batik to advance the amount except
in the bills of the Darien Baqk, which tbe
Treasurer refuser! to receive.
WbiLi the General system of Education is
yet inoperative, a suitable opportunity is af
forded to the Legislature of again eoquiring
whether the meant proposed to I e used by it
are calculated to answer the end designed.—
With a view to such ao enquiry, it may be
proper In observe, that the primary object to
be attained in establishing saclt a system, are
generally understood to the build ng of cum -
school houses, of durable materials, in every
school district; the placing in them a library
far the use of all the scholars, of books calcu
lated to impress upon them religions, moral
and practical truth*; and the increase of the
number and qualification* of the teachers, by
providing certain and sufficient public funds
to effect that purpose. A very slight exami
nation oft he Act* of 1837 and 1838, will show,
tliat these objects are not provided for at all,
or verv inadequately, hy the proponed sys
tem. These laws direct that the trail ess of
the sclranl district* shall locale and rnperin-
tend the erection of suitable school booses in
their respective districts; tan expressly pro

perceive Corn tbe proceedings ef the Legists-
tare of Maine, at its last session, that dptm
reference to it uf ati the documents in leta-
tion to Philbrook and Kelleran. ilcontected
itself by resolving tha*. lire whole of that sub
ject waa exclusively within ike province of
the Executive Department, and that it was
inexpedient for the Legislature to take any

tbe Legislature Bad passed a law at **• pre

I have not called a convention of the peo

course they ought to pursue in maintaining
their rights, io consequence of the refusal of
Maine to do them justice, aa directed by the
resolutions of tbe Legislature, passed at its
session of 1887, for the reason, that the Leg
islature failed te provide for the expenses of
such a Convention, and because a Conven
tion for another object had already been call
ed by the Legieiatare, and it* proceedings
submitted to tbe people for ratification.

Your attention is called to a law which
has been passed by the Legislature of the
State of New-York, to authorize the arrest
and detention of fugitives from justice from
other States, and tbe Ter'irtories of the Uni
ted States, a copy of which the Legislature
uf NeW-York has caused to be transmuted to
the Governors of each of the State*, in order
that similar laws tnay ba passed by oath.

probably been induced to the course pursued,
by tbe belief that the nineodments offered
for thair approval, were intended for sect ion

Te the Editors pf tbe Coiambus Enquirer.
Gentlemen :—I send you the message of
Governor Gilmer, which yju will find^clear
and comprehensive, and marked by the char-
aclentttc Wisdom and goodness ofits author.
On the subject of tha Curreocy and the
Rank* be is truly republican. Recognis
ing the neoeseity of the credit system
to our commercial operations, and the pro
prkty of.yielding >a the present crisis of trade,
tap nevertheless recommends the enactment
of positive and powerful restrictions—such
al hilt prevgni these Institutions from prof
iting by the very disasters of the times, under
the specious plea of beaefitifog the people.
These are the seotiment* peculiarly adapted
to the-geniae of our institutions and such as
tha whole couotry will have to subscribe to.
or the Banking system must fall, and with it
possibly will sink our prosperity and trade.
My own impression is, that under such safe
restrictions tbe Banka of the Soudiern Bietes
ought to suspend for at least two years. In
this way, two crops would go forward to pay
the foreign debt and the surplus be applied to
the liquidation of our domestic liabilities,—
The third crop would come into the market
on tbe eve of resumption, and materially aid
iti rite accomplishment of that desirable end.
In tbe mean lime, the rotten institutions
foighr be thoroughly investigated and swept
away,at)iJ the sound ones surrounded by bar-
rrers s> as forever to. prevent thrm from the
ekeNddeCofqto'werf heyead die laws and the
safety of the community. Our present sys-
teto of efedits might be improved. But 1
have .already said too much. Your own
comments will be before the people. To
morrow, the great Loco Foco Inauguration
takes place, and to-morrow night the great
Inauguration Ball. Ob, for the pen of a
Bennett! Yours, Ac.

A monopoly which overshadows every thing,
which insinuates itself into every circle, and
controls every action, whether social or politi
cal, which reaches alike the palace of the
European lord acd the retirement of the
American planter, cannot but he odious in
the e\e of every lover of civil liberty aad
unrestricted trade. The miseries entailed by
suefa a system, established in this country,
ought forever to forbid its institution—they
would even surpass those .which we now
endure, from ita supremacy in a foreign
land.
"ut ! am wandering from my purpose.—
I had intended to give you only the news.
On the continent, all is dull and unimerest
ing. The civil war is nearly over in Spain
and Carlos is travelling in France. He has
recognized the Queen's government, and or
dered his generals and followers to lay down
their arms.
The Turkish fleet had not yet been given
tip, at (he.lata accounts from Egypt. Me-
hem it Alt, however, was greatly depressed
ip bis money matters, and waa compelled to
riestrict the supplies of the officers and men.
This was causiog great dissatisfaction. Every
thing wonld depend upon the decision of the
Five Powers, though Mehemit effected the
tit most indifference to their interference.
In France, nothing of importance, except
some changes in the ministry.
A Scotchman by the name of Btyan had
been imprisoned for molting fove to Queen
Victoria. Some acomp has been interrupt
ing the evening meditations of her majesty.
One of her wiodows was found broken and a
large piece of flint lock discovered in the de
partment, and the whole nation was throwu
into commotion—the papers are filled with
the details of the “mysterious occurrence," ^c.
V 6 - After all, there is no littie humbug
dbout this thing called royally.
In our own city of Gotham, all is bustle.
0tir streets are nightly traversed by crowds
<* loafer* and vagabonds of all descriptions,
Headed by senseless, soulless demagogues—
tfien, whose only qualifications are to fdey
the tool and do the dirty teork, for more de
signing knaves—who, as Joeiah Quincy
says. “live upon the vapor of tlte palace, aud
shrallow the spittle of great men.”
The occurrences of every day here, im-
toediately preceding an election, are little
calculated to elevato one’s impressions of his
ft I low beings, or increase his faith in tbe per
manency and purity ofour restitutions.

Church nf England, could not. even if he had
wished it, have mads o Bishop, and that lie
did not wish or intend it, must be fidlv evi

Q. E. D.
Tbe remarks whieb our coorespondent
refers to were selected os a compendious
history of a large and very respectable class
*f professing Christians, nor does it follow,
whatever may be our private opioion, that
becadse we adopted them we are consequent
ly to be held accountable for any peculiar
decline which thay be inferred from the
particular terms therein used. The question
of succession in Holy Orders,'' however
iutererting to Theologians, we conceive to be
rather misplaced in the column* of a politi
cal journal. Hence our uniform unwilling
ness to admit communications of a sectarian
nature, lu any controversy which may en
sue upon the admission ,,f the above article
iU our paper, we are determined to take no
part. Since our connection wiih the press
vie have carried out the sentiments we enter-
thin in private life, viz: to know no secta
rian feeling, and tn regard the peculiar tenets
of all as valuable only so far es they exhibit
h strictly virtuous and honorable deportment
in life.
