as usually attend upon acts of thoughtless-

ness or passion. Does it not become us to

give the questions involved as full and ma-

ture consideration as we do our own per-

sonal matters? The election of a repre-

sentative in congress naturally involves the

great question of a United States Bank.—

In 1840, OUT opponents denied that this

question was involved, fiut among the first

things done by them wtt la pass an act

chartering a new United States Bank.—

On its rejection by President Tyler, a sec-

ond charter was passed. This same ques-

tion is now one of the issues to be tried by

the people next November. Are you for

chartering another U. S. Bank, that some

other Biddle may produce such fearful con-

sequences aa the late favorite has done 1

Another question is, whether we will,

contrary to the constitution, collect in tax-

es more than is needed for the expenses of

government, that we may give away a por-

tion of them 1 Until it can be demonstra-

ted that it is good policy to hire a collector

and pay him five per cent to call on us to

pay a dollar of taxes into the treasury,

and at the end of the year to hire another

agent to return it to us again, no reasons'

ble man will fc»or this ruinous project—

Another question is, whether the nation

shall assume in any form, the state debts?

This question the whigi will attempt to

dodge, as they did the Bank question in

1840.

The election of Governor and members

of the 'Legislature, brings up tbe question

whether this state shall involve itself in

endless debt, of whether it will continue

free and independent? This question is

one of immense cdnseqn«nce to us all-

Shall we follow the wild meandering* of

GOT. Seward, or adhere to the safe prece-

By this law not one centof debt was authorized, but a policy woa adop-ted which would have carried forward graduallyinternal improvements in all parts of the state.While tho people would have been secure frompublic debt or taxation by this policy, internalimprovements would have gone forward everywhere in the state as fast as the resources ot tbestate, local interests, and tho business of thecountry required. But the whig politicians were(BgatisrHtfl with Vtth tlrifrrtow buLsafe and tyrepolicy. They clamored for the more speedy en-largement of the Erie canal, and the early andrapid construction of local improvements in allparts, a t tbfl_8tate. They promised and persua.ded a majority of the people to believe that ifthe whig party could have the power in thestate, they would immediately and without de-lay enlarge the Erie canal, advance to the NewYork and Erie rail road company on loan, mon.ey lo build their rail road, and that the state iwould construct the Ogdonsburgh and LakeChamplain rail road, and rail rofils and canal",until, in Governor Seward's language in one ofbis messages to the Legislature, there should bo• rail road or cansl within fifteen miles of everyman's door>

Extravagant as were these promises, by dintof constant repetition and of charges that thedemocratic party was opposed to internal im-provement, they persuaded a majority of thepeople to trust the whig party, and in tho fallelection of 1837 the political power and the di-rection of the state policy were committed to thewhig party by a majority of about fifteen thou-sand in the popular Tote. Tbe whiga electedone hundred members to the legislature and thedemocrats but twenty-eight. Tho whigs electedfive and the democrats three senators, but as thesenators hold for four yean and one-fourthonly are elected in each year, the democrat* stillheld a majority in the senate for this yeai, tho'the whigs had a large majority on joint ballot.—The senate yielded the direction of affaire to the

An Address to the society was delivered

at the stone meeting house by the president

of the society, Hon. J. SASFOBD, which is

spoken of in high terms. Judge SANFOKD

is a very successful practical farmer, whose

judgment and good sense have led him to

adopt the most profitable system—that of

combining just so much of the new lights

and improvements in agriculture with his

own practical experience, "as the~shuation

and markets of our section will warrant.

Tbis course should be adopted by all our

farmers. The statistical information col-

lected in the address ol Judge SANFORO

shows that the products of our county are

fast increasing in amount and valuej and

that, comparing population, our county is

wbigs, regarding the elccuon as a decision infavor of whig policy.

When the legislature assembled, tho whigparty brought forward their policy in the memo-rable report of Mr, Euggles, recommending therapid progress of internal improvement, by bor-rowing and contracting a state debt of FORTYMILLIONS of dollars, to bo expended in tenyears, at tho rate of four millions a year. Thewhig policy .was adopted and a great public debtcommenced. 0Tho wbigs also passed a low di.reeling tho canal Commissioners to. advertisefor propotals and make contracts so as to ensurethe completion of the Erie canal enlargementwithin five years, and four millions of debt wasauthorised for the first year for this purpose. Itis these contracts and this debt, created by thoauthority and direction of this law made by thewhig party in the winter of 1838 that the addressof our whig county convention in 1649 attemptsto palm off upon the people as an act of the de-mocratic party. It is a miserable imposition up-on any man who reads thai addrecs and supposesjttobetrne. A referenco tottic statute booksand documents of the legislature for these yeare•how* the falsehood and attempt at deception oflha address. The fact that the. term of office ofBouck and other democratic canal Commission,e n continued through 1838, and that these com-mitfiionere obeyed, u they were bound to do,the whig law of that year, is put forth as a rea-son to charge lha whig policy upon the demo,erotic party. Such «ubtsrfuge. and attempt tomyitify and deceive i» worthy of condemnationfrom all parties. Who does not remember thecry shout internal improvements set tip by in*whig parly four ye irs«go? Who does not re-member the recommendation by Rngglo'* reportand by tho first me*«nge of Governor Seward toborrow forty millions of dollars for this object^

the whole exhibition and proceedings of thi

Albany Jun: 31, \Bi'i.Peter Hay and others, inhabitants of District

JVo 9, in the town of Oswegatchie, vs. the Trus-tee* of siiid District.

This is an appeal from a Rate-bill nndWarrant, made out and issuid on the tiuthof April last, by the Trustees of DistrictNo.' 9, fofThe payment of the-wages of; &teacher heretofore employed in said districtIt appears ihut the teacher was employedby the Trustnrs, in the full of 1841, forten months, at 3 H per month—the wholoterm to be subdivided into two terras of 6vomonths each : that at tho expiration of thefirst five months, the Trustees, in the ab-sence of any directions on tho part of thedistrict in relation to the expenditure of thepublic money applicable toihc payment ofteachers wages, applied §5,56 of such mon-ey to tlie term ana made out their rate-billfor the balance then due the teacher; np-propriuling the residue of tho public mon-ry, ($70) to the summcrtrrni, and payingthe same in advance lo the true her, to beapplied on thai term In justification oftbeir proceeding, tbe trusters allege thattheir district extends over a l.trge territory,and that many of tho children belongingloit, hove been prevented- from attending thowinter school in consfqnence of their dis-tance from the school house j and ihnt, intheir judgment, the application of th<-' great-er portion of the public money to the sum-mer term wns, under such circumstances,expedient and necessnry.

It also appears that the rate bill so matleout, haa bcrn mostly eollwted or secured—a large portion of the mhabitnnls hav-ing given their notes for iho amount due tothe teacher, payable at the expiration of thosnmmer term. Under these circumstances,

j the Superintendent does not deem it expe-I dient to interfere, at this lime, with the pro-ceedings of the Trostpps in the collection otthe balance due on the rale bill; the in-habitants having* neglected at the propertime to avail themselves of their right to ap-portion the public money in a more equit-able manner between the differ* nt terms :nnd the appeal having been delayed untilthe greater part of the rate bill bos herncollected. He feels himself compelled,however, to disapprove of the conrse adop-ted by the trustees, not only in applying tothe summer term, a share of the public m»-ncy, so entirely disproportionate, and in hisjudgment, unjustifiable, but in paying oversuch share, in advance to the teacher.

A variety of contingencies might occurby which the teacher might be preventedfrom fulfilling his part of the contract, and)the district be subjected thereby to a seri-ous loss. As a general rule, too, the grea-ter part of the public money should1 be ap-plied to the winter, instead of the summerterm; it being, in most districts, impracti-cable to send a large proportion of the schol-ars, except during the winter season.—Had the matter, therefore been eaTlier bro'tto the 'notice' df the Superintendent, heshould have felt it his duty to direct a moreequitable apportionment of the public mo-ney, and to have restrained tbe Trusteesfrom a payment of any portion of it. untilthe expiration of the term to which it wasapplied.^ As the case now stands, howev-er, a; different course must be adopted, andwith this expression o f bis <lisap_probatibnof the proceedings of the Trustees, the ap-peal must be, aitf is hereby dismissed. •
