E. corner of Third and Dock streets., and dot! North Fourth Striiclrris our only authorised Agent in Philadelphia. , ; Divld Wllmot. ' i . This gentleman; its our readem arc aware, repre sents, or rather misrepresents, the Bradford district in Congress. Since occupying a scat in that tyidy, lie has froguentijetaheh oecasion to indulge in a course, ‘calculated to distract the Democratic party; : and to produce divisions and heartburnings in our ranks, JThns far, "happily, his efforts have proved, too weak and impotent to disturb the harmony of the lion-hearted Democracy of Pennsylvania, or to drive them one inch from the path of political recti lude.' His obstructions are regarded by our people as nothing .hotter that! the wild fancies of a fevered imagination -associated with no good, and mixed up with diretllVevil. The people of Pennsylvania are a plaid, honcßt and unsophisticated people; they never lend their countenance to visionary schemes, or mischievous, doctrines. They prefer to adopt the principles, and sustain the measures; of such distinguished Statesmen as Thomas derrra sojr and Audrew Jacksoh, instead of: following in the wiko of such rush light politicians as Mr. Wil mot* . The celebrated rocuo, with which Mr. Wilmot’s name is often associated, ia not the offspring of his brain. The paternity 6t that measure belongs to Jacob BbiukehhofFj of Ohio, a man of brighter intellect than David Wilmot. The latter was made the mere cat’s-paw to intro _ duce that hercsj ; and to share all its odium. That Proviso was of no practical utility—it was nothing but a fire-biacd thrown into tho Democratic ranks. It'could only hare the effect or postponing, and perhaps defeating, measures calculated to settle our difficulties with Mexico, and to embarass the admin istration of the General Government. In every shape in-which that Proviso has been presented to the peoplo, they have placed their seal or condem nation upon it. Every true friend of his country, -revery man who wishes to see a speedy and honor able.peace brought about/—is .opposed to associa ting the question of slavery with the waf. Lot the war be vigorously prosecuted, until the Mexican people are effectually subdued ; then let those who profess te have such awful fears about the extension of slavery, bring forward their slavery propositions. That David Wilmot is a rank disorganizes, an enemy to Democratic harmony, has become too well known, to require the presentation of proof. No giod" Democrat could be induced to make a pil grimage into a sister State, (where an unfortunate schism existed in our ranks,l and there take sides with one of the factions. Mr. Wilmot visited New York, end took part in the Herkimer Convention, which was called by a branch of the party who were opposed to the nominations made at the regu lar Democratic Convention at Syracuse. We doubt whether there is another man in Pennsylvania, pro fessing to be a DomncW, who could have exhibited such downright impudence, and manifest such a total disregard for the. courtesies and proprieties of , political life. The Democracy of the Blatc of NewYorkwerc defeated" by an overwhelming msfOrity; and the federalists may thank David Wil met as being instrumental in bringing about that " remit* The course Mr. Wilmot has pursued, since the beginning or the present session of Congress, ispcr feedy in keeping with his previous acts. He has fairly severed himself from the Democratic party, and may be considered as an open enemy of the administration. Because the President and bis Cabi net would not adopt bis “ one idea,” they have been the constant subjcctsofliis bitter malignity and umpiaiihed abuse, lie demanded from the PosUnas tSfGeneral, the printing of the mail router, in Penn sylvania, .for his paper, the Bradford Reporter, a disorganizing sheet; which presented as its ohief recommendation, its advocacy of Mr. Wilmot and hi, Proviso. The Postmaster General, however, did not see proper to comply with the demands of Mr. Wilmot, and ever since his refusal to do so, that excellent- officer and sound Democrat, has been compelled to submit to the malevolent but impotent assaults of the hero of ihe,“ Proviso!” lu the House ;of Representatives, on the 7th in stant, Mr; Wilmot asked leave to make a personal explanation, in reply to a certain article which ap peared in the Washington Union. In defence of Mr. Rctchie, (the venerable and respected Editor of that excellent paper,) it is not necessary for us to gay a single word- He is fully competent to defend himielf; and h® Certainly done so, to the heart's content of Mr. Wilmot. True to his instincts, he could not be satisfied with attacking the Edi tor of the Union; bat was impelled, in his malignity, to travel out of his way, and make a most wanton at-, tack upon the distinguished Seoretary of State, the Hou. James Bbchahak. But abuse from Mr. Wil mot,under existing circumstances, may be regarded us the highest compliment to the Secretary. He baa nobly done his duty; and if Mr. Wilmot,in his new companionship, should praise a man, we should bn strongly tempted to question his democracy. And what mn-has Mr- Buchasak commited, that he should merit the unmeasured denunciations that have been heaped upon him by this “ wolf in sheep’s clothing!” Do our readers wish to know 1 W® will tell them in a few words. Mr. Buchanak, as a good Democrat and honest man, would not lend his countenance to the disorganizing measures of Mm Wilmot; and henco that individual thought tho Secretary of State was a proper subject at whom to - shoot his posoned arrows. More malignant slandore, more gross and out ragdotts falsehoods, were never puhlished by a fed eral paper respecting Mr. Buchahab, than those uttered by Mr. Wilmot, in his recent speech. Jambs "BoSmAtiiir has ten thousand friends in Pennsylva- I nia, whew Mr. Wilmot has one. The one is uni versally beloved and respected by the people; the other is/bow, just as universally despised. ' —Bet; it is not bur purpose, at present, to enter into a de'ence oi Mr. Bpcbabak. That task has already been performed in a better and abler man ner byAColleague of Mr. Wilmot. As soon as the lattertobk his seat, .the Hon. James Thompson ask-. edTeare from the House to make a few remarks in reply, .which was granted. We publish below the rejoinder of Mr. Thompson, It is a triumphant vin dication of tho Secretary of State against the charges and slanders of tho representative from he Bradford districts : - - Mr. Speaker, lam deeply grateful to the House > for itheir consideration to me in suspending the rulea, so as to enable me to make a brief reply to tot colleague. 1 lihali do so more in grief than an ger- although I consider his remarks a most un founded and wanton calumny, or a highly honorable and distinguished gentleman—the Hon. James Bu chanan. Sir, it almost always happens, that amidst the general and seemingly universal approval and Doofflarify of distinguished me»v there are to be found some envious of the virtu* they cannot emu late—who. if unable to elevate themselves to the high standard they etwy, ire industrious in their ef forts to drag down to a level the objects of their ma levolence and jealousy. Sir, I regret that we have had an exaa»|&iilMtntive of thiitruth At this inomentJjSr. Bawiitia* is^*ffg?bf?th• taptHiojK lir and eBtei^Bed|cj|tiken»|that^6iiJk»ylT«^-pof* Besses. a§tn*t mifv jorityoftbe |Hw>p’«,;in their exphtwekMneir eijrifest and anx-J ioua preference for him as a candidate for the presi dency of the Union. 1 will undertake to arty, air, that against the strongest men, competitors for the same preference, Mr. Buchanan will have at least one hundred of the delegates out of the one hun dred and thirty-three of whuh the convention in Pennsylvania will consist, favorable to his nomina tion as a candidate for the presidency. This, of itself, would be ample refutation of the slanders ut tered against him by my colleague. ' Sir, he is emi nently thcfhvorite of- Pennsylvania, identified,with her democracy, and Universally beloved by them. My rcolleague charges Mr. B. with interfering in the election of United States Senator in our State,' .and with -opposing Judge Woodward, the nominee [of the majority of the democratic members of the legislature lor ihat position. . . Mr. Wilmot said he did not charge him with that; but that after the election, he did not come outund sustain the democracy, as Mr. Dallas and others had he had sheltered himself behind his po sitien os Secretary of State. • Mr. Thompson. Did not Mr. Buchanan reply to I the letter addressed to him T Mr. Wilmot. He did ; but what was it like 1 Mr. Thompson continued. Sir, Gen. Cameron was elected as a democrat, aud has continued in his support of his democratic principles. He was a democrat at the timeVof his election, and has ever -since continued and maintained his principles as a democrat. And what could Mr. Buchanan do t If the usages of the party had been defeated in the election of Gen. still o democrat was elected*. Was he to denounce bimf Certainly [not. If nny osagesof thenarty were defeated, the mischief was done ; but itnad resulted m the elec tion of a democrat, and nothing but its usagw— which I always respect—had been defeated. Mr. Buchanan had, in his answer to that letter, replied satisfactorily, properly, and justly, as is fully evin ced by his undiminisbed popularity where all the circumstances are fully and well known. My colleague charges Mr. Buchanan with cutting of the head of Judge Woodward, who was nomina ted by the President as Judge of the Supremo Court of the United States. S]r, this is nottruej notirue that be interfered to defeat that nomination; not true, sir ; I know it is not. Sir, I know it from the best authority. Mr. Wilmot. The people of Bradford think so. Mr. Thompson. Sir, they have been misinform ed, grossly misinformed. 1 know that the suspicion, if entertained, is unjutt. Mr. Buchanan did not in terfere to defeat that nomination. 1 fear not to say so, because 1 know it was not so. But my colleague charges Mr. Buchanan with hav ing opposed the last war, and as having been the reviler of Mr. Madison. Sir, I bad supposed that stale old slander would have been suffered to sleep, and never again bo repented by any gentleman of character and truth. Opposed the last war ! Where was my colleague in the last war 1 Mr. Wilmot. I was born in IS! 4. Mr. Thompson. Yes, sir, the gentleman was in his cradle at that period, but does not hesitate o calumniate those who were active in the scenes of that period. Mr. Buchanan opposed to the war ! Sir, if I recollect aright, ho was its earnest suppor ter in the legislature of his native State ; and if he had been wanted for any public or private object, he would have been found in the army a volunteer at one time—a private soldier at Baltimore. Was this opposition to the war T He was certainly its supporter. A reviler of Mr. Madison ! No, sir. I know what that gentleman alludes to. Mr. Wilmot (in his seat.) That speech. Mr. Thompson. Yes, that speech, Sir, the only thing Mr. Buchanan *aid in that speech, at Carlisle, against Mr. Madison, was his belief that Mr. Madi son was not energetic enough in his w»r measures —that he would not'conduct it with the vigor that ought to characterize it. That, sir, was all; and no man of truth can assert anything else. This was the substance and purport ot that speech ; aud other great men entertained the same opinion. Bui was this opposition to the war 7 No, sir, no ; it was far otherwise. ; My colleague (Mr. Mr. Buchan- an with instigating Mr. Ritchie to write the article in the Union of which he complains. Mr. Wilmot. 1 did not charge him ; I said 1 sus pected him, and gave my reasons. Mr. Thompson. What are your reasons 7 Mr. Wilmot. Because it appeared in the Penn sylvanian at the same time. Mr. Thompson. The reason, sir, is a very unsat isfactory one. If he had looked further, he would have found many papers uttering the same senti ment at the same time. Mr. Buchanan had nothing lo do with them j he had no controversy with the gentleman. No, sir, he had none ; he h*d nothing to do with him ; nor would he be likely to inter fere in anything in regard to him, here or else where. But, sir, this charge rests alone on the sus picion of the geutlcman—upon no (act or circum stance whatever; but stilt the charge was made. Again: he charges Mr. Buchanan with election eering in his district—sending documents jftto it. Mr, Wilmot. Did not you frank document* **with the respects” ofMr. Buchanan 7 Mr. Thompson. I do not know that 1 did. 1 franked some copies ofthe pioceedings oftlic meet ing at Philadelphia, os I was told by a friend, who requested me to do so; but Mr. Buchanan never knew from me that I did ; and it was for a gentle man totally unconnected with Mr. Buehonan, and 1 believe it to have been without hi* knowledge that it was done. What was written on the few franked by me, or whether, they went into that district, 1 am not now able to say, Mr. Bnclianan had noth ing todo wilh them, in any shape or lorm whatever, to my knowledge—so far as the franking was conj ccrned, 1 am certain. 1 have franked papers and documents for others, and shall do so again lo oblige a friend here or my people at borne. Sir, l desire that this House may be informed and know the selfish and personal motives that actuate the gentleman in making the charges 1 have alluded to. , The Speaker here called Mr. Thompson to order, for imputing motives to the gentleman Mr. C. J. Ingcrsoll interposed, and insisted that the Speaker w*uld curtail injuriously the freedom of debate. f . Some confusion here ensued; which, after subsi ding. Mr. T. again proceeded, piffcrencea arising about principles, Mr. Speaker, I have no objection to. I would not find fault with even severe com ment, under such circurasrances. But, air, when personal hostility is the motive.forjppblic attacks, it is another thing. Honorable nicir|-arc not likely to indulge in crimination under such How my colleague can reconcile it to of propri ety, to make charges while such feelings, against a gentleman having no privilege here to re ply, 1 cannot understand. Tbo honorable feelings oi each member here, will answer promptly this enquiry. For my part, sir, I would have felt that, while actuated by personal resentments, I could never have been induced to make charges. I should ' ha*, e felt that, os an honorable mon,l should have i been bound to silence ; for, as in this case, I should i have been certain to have been unjust. 1 ain sure, ! under such an influence, this w>uid have bten an. I The gentleman speaks of the want of popularity ol I Mr. Buchanan,at this time in Pennsylvania. So far from this being true, I have great coi-ndcnce that this gentleman’s own district will instruct for Mr. Buchanan, for the Presidency. The on y coun tv (Susquehanna) in his district that lias elected a delegate to the.,4th-o£Jdarch convention,did not. instruct against Mr. Buchanan; and, if I am not greatly mistaken, Bradford, 'the gentleman’s own county, will send delegates favorable, to him. I see familiar and prominent names in, the democrat ic ranks in that county disapproving of the course of their representative, and I assure th e members of this House, that even there, the contest isonoot great doubt to the hopes of my colleague, anu ol great hopes to the friends of Mr. Buchanan. But-air, in conclusion, let mo say again, that no Btato, no district, or section of the Union, possess es a favorite, however highly esteemed, more cor dially admired, or earnestly supported, than is James Buchanan, in Pennalvania. For o quarter of a century, he has been identified with the demo cracy of my native State, as one of its 1 prominent supporters and leaders. Mr. Speaker, he is not on- ! ly identified with the democracy of the State, and admired as its friend, but his life, as a statesman and diplomatist, furnishes a bright page to the history ! of his country. No man possessed in a higher do- | gree than did Mr. Buchanan, the confidence and rc- ! gard of thatgreat man and hero,Ges. Jackson. No 1 common man could boast. as much ; and while a j Hfo of brilliant services, sanctioned by such confi- | dence, and always approved by the democracy ofj Jiisown State, is before the country, no storm like the petty whirlwind of this day, will be suffered to affect it. No, nr, it is impotent for e».l. [Here 1 a note was handed to Mr. T-, after looking at which Mr. T. remarked,] No, air, I will not go than my dntv requires me; and (tearing the paper, said) 1 will not remark on the suggestion made, but conclude with again expressing my obligation to the House, for their courtesy on this occasion. i Hard Com.--Mr. Zebulon Paine, who w “ c °“- victed in November, 1846, of having jSrocored the burning of a barn, and sent to the MaB*achp?setB State prison for eight year*, ha* been pardoned by the Governor, after serving fourteen month* of- nif term, and ha* returned to his,fatally, complete innocence having been established by the confession, of a boy of 16 years, by whose, false testimony Mrv P. was convicted.

Ttfaf 'Meeting, stii of: •'December, 1846. would seem to be intended as a religious 'oho, though we do not know to what persuasion it belongs, as it hangs out no particular banner. ■ We hope that the ar ticle in question was not dictated fby feelings of hostility to a rival denomination of Christians. The strongest part of the article is it’s heading Infidel sentiments in an unexpected quarter j” and then it. protceds to attribute' the'speech to lion. Waites: Lowali, now Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, New York. The speech was de’ivrred by the Hon; Walteb H. ’ Lowbie, Judge of our District Court, and whatever principles it contains, we. are sure he is well able to maintain them, and, that he has no desire, if they are errors, that the order or nature should be reversed, and the sins of the nrphem be visited cpon.. lhe;«ncre, or upon U)C benevolent society which hs superintends. The Watchman should correct the false impression produced by his correspondent. The article seems to have been hear 14 months in coming to the birth,,yet we;do not discover in it any of that strength which might have beep expected from so long a gestation. The writer of the article in question "would show more discre tion by writing on subjects which he is capable of comprehending. We may add that here, at home, people do not think of charging “ Infidel sentiments ” to Judge Lowrio. Retrocession to Maryltnd* From the correspondence of the Baltimore Sun, wo learn that a proposition it how before Congrels, for re-ceding to the State of Maryland, that portion of the District of Columbia which remains, of the original cession to the General Government. As the portion which formerly, belonged ( to Virginia has passed und«ft her juriadictien, we can see no impro priety in adopting this course. The people of that territory hate been long enough disfranchised; and under the constitution of «the good old State of Maryland,” they would enjoy those rights and im munities, of which they have so long been deprived. The General Government could exercise jusicdic lion over all portion occupied by the public ! buildings, as in other cases ; and the State would receive a very ceoniderable acctsion to hsr popula tion Another good would result from the act,« — the prevention of a great waste of public money, in ' the time occupied by Congress in disposing of peti tions r or the abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia. Wo hope the retrocession may take place. Energetic tore of Morality. Under.this head, the Philadelphia Tiroes gives the following •« The Washington Intelligencer lately received acomimmication against CoUyer’s “ model artists,” from the editor of the New York Journal of Com tnerce, accompanied h) a five dollar bill, and a re quest to have the article inserted. The mnney,and the communication were returned. This is certain ly one way to mnney-facturc public opinion. The “ artists” have been abused into an immense popu larity.” That is the way in which a great deal of public sentiment is manufactured; especially by some of tbc Washington correspondents of Whig ” news papers. We have no doubt that, the artists will be here soon ; and when they shall havo given evidence of their real merits, the public, here* will decide according to their own judgment. Election of Judges. •We learn, from tho Philadelphia Bulletin, that the joint resolution relative to an amendment of the Constitution, (providing for the election of Judges,) has passed a final reading in our State Senate by tho following vote : Yeas— Messrs. Boas, Brawley, Creacraft, Johnson (Eric,) Johnson (Armstrong,) Jordan, Levis, Mat thias, Middleswarth, Rich, Richards, Sadler, San derson, Sankey,Small,Smith, Sroyser, Williamson, Speaker.

We know how well the system „work* in Stales where the Judges ore elected by the People; and see not why Democratic Pennsylvania should be behind some of her younger sisters in progressive" reforms.

II Judge M’Lean is so ignorant of passing events, as not In know that peaco has been offered to the Mexicans by the President, at every step of what he denomi nates this «• miserable yar,” he is not in a situation to giro n respectable opinion on the subject; but if he’ia apprised of these facts, and chooses to pervert them to suit his own views, or the views of his par ty, he not only proves that he is destitute of the pa triotism of a judge, but that his mind is open to such prejudice and one-sided views, as to render his judgment of very little account on any subject.” Akothee Railroad Project. —The Nantucket Inquirer says the project is agitated for buildiDg a railroad from the village of Nantucket to Siascoset. It Is thought the work can be completed at a cost not exceeding $45,000. Strange Case of Bigotry. —The N. York Free man’s Journal tells of a recent case of bigotry in that city that is amazing. A catholic woman was taken ill in the house of Industry, and fearing She would die, begged repeatedly to be permitted to see a Priest. The lady officers of the institution refused to gratify her, and said, a priest could do her no good, but brought her throe or four Protes tant olorgynien. Thejsick woman at length per ■ shaded a girl in the house to go for a priest, but whbhTrO called, the officers refused to let him see the patlent.

Wc will say nothing in favor of him, just now ; it’s or no use, for every person likeshim as an actor, and all who know him personally, as we do, must admire his generous heart and amiable disposition. Mrs. Cantor we re member of old, and we must say that she has impro ved since Miss Mary Duff's season. The balance of the company will do. Barnt y Williams appears to-night.

St. Yai.ebtii*e*s Day.—We have seen many short newspaper treatises upon the origin ami meaning of St. Valentine’s Day ceremonies. Now that our young folks, and myny old ones, arc preparing with great energy and activity, for the Ain that they pro mise themselves on the occasion—while the book sellers are well supplied with the documents need ed—it may amiss to quote the annexed item, whichappears to give the most correct veraion of the story, as to ohgin. It is from an English author named Donee; “Bt. Valentine was a pricat of Rome. It was the custom in that ancient city to celebrate the Luper calia, which were feasts in honor of Juno. On this occasion, amidst a variety of ceremonies, the names of young women were deposited in a vase, from which they Were drawn by the men as chance di rected. The Pastors ef the early Christian Church, who, by every means, endeavored to eradicate the vestiges of Pagan superstition, substituted in the present instance the names of particular Saints, in stead Of those of the women, and as the festival of the Lupercalia had commenced about the middle or Februarv, they chose St. Valentine’s day for cele brating the new feast, and accordingly the outline of the ancient ceremony was preserved ; it is there fore reasonable to suppose, that the above practice of choosing mates would gradually become recip rocal in the sexes. It is also recorded, that on St. Valentine’s day each bird of the air chooses its mate.” Murder. —The following account of smurdor in Lower St. Clair township', is from the Dispatch 'of yesterday: « A respectable citizen of Lower St. Clair town ship, informs us that a most atrocious outrage was committed upon a woman, by some half‘dozen ruf fians, one night last week, in the neighborhood or Mr. Lewis’ Coee Furnaces! after .succeeding in their designs, the villains set fire to her clothing and otherwise so cruelly treated her, thzt she died in a day or two afterwards. The deceased was a stran ger, having crossed (he lower ferry, from Pittsburgh, on the evening of the outrage. Will any one hav ing knowledge of the matter, leavens further mtor malion t ' . These outrages are becoming frequent, we tiuft the vigilance of the police, may lead to the detoc; tion of the recent offcnders. ,, Military BALL.-Tho Jefferson Guards give aball on the 82d February. Their cards of invitation and tickets of admission are good specimens of ty pography™ Johnston & Stockton, printers. We have the pleasure of an acquaintance with some of the managers, and from our knowledge of them we are assured that they will doj what is right and a greeable. The Ball is to come off at the house of John Cowan, Jefferson township. llsdson’s Pahorama of the Hudson River will bo opened up for exhibition in Philo Hall on Monday . As the tickets are at thelow pried of 25 cents, of course there will lie crowds of persons there-all our citizans will witness the wonderful painting be fore it leaves the aity. WALLPAPER..-We call attention to tho now card of Mr. Shidle.in another column. Ha is an old and experienced manufacturer and one who can give satisfaction to those who patronize him.

Enrron:—A few day* »inc«, 1 read. i>. y»“f paper, a well written article, proposing lie «»W* Fi.bmcntof a “Public High School” in Pilteburgh. Such an institution, If properly organited and conducted a .would be. an honor and a bleMina to this city; and I hope it will eoon be organuedr— But, Sir, if aeeroa this project moat meet the com mon fate of public enterprises in Pittsburgh- The moment it is proposed, certainpnvate aud sclfiib interests most be thrust forward to seiie upon alt the beneßU whioh such a school should be acsign ed to confer, upon the whole community. Some friend of the University now proposes that this pub lic High School shall be located with the Unirersi tv. That such a connexion would benefit the. Un iversity I admit; but that it .would be any benefit to the “Public High School,” or the causo of general education, 1 utterly deny. On the contrary, it must be manifest-to every one, that it would in a great measure defeat all the ends for which such a school should be established In this High School all the , branches of a thorough EngHsh Education should ! be ttught, as fully as in our colleges. All the Eng lish branches then, or nearly all, should be taught in the High School thatare taught in theUnirersi ty. How then would thia be managed if you con nect the two institutions. T»he for example the study of chemistry. That brand; i< now .taught in the Uniseraity. It would also be taught in the ‘•High School.” Now, unite the two institutions, and how will'jt be managed I Would there be a chemistry class in the High School department, and another chemistry class in the University proper T No such thing. They would soon bo united. It would be useless to keep up separate classes m the 1 saute branch of study, in the same building, using the same teat hook, and with the name degree of program in the study. The classes would soon and necessarily ho amalgamated. The : same would be true of all. the other higher brandies, aa Aairono my, History, Geology, Mathematics, Ac. I? 1 ® ,ta ~ dents in the same degree of advancement in each ■ study would be formed inf o One class. Any other arrangement would be useless, if the two institu tion* are united. „ • _ ... , What then would became of oar Public High School t It wouldTO completely merged in the University. And after all oor effortato get np a most nscnil public institution, wn should have no High School i and our efforts would result only in swelling the classes of the University; and in giv ing a large portion of the Public School funds raised by taxation to increase the profits.of the University, which is merely a Select High School, and entirely a private enterprise. , , , But again: The University i» conducted and con trolled by a Board of. Trustees, about thirty in num ber, I believe. Now, connect the High School with the University, which would unavoidably re sult in making them practically one institution, and then give to that institution the share of the public ■ funds which would be applied to support the High 'School, and what will be the consequencelttWe should thereby take a large proportion orthe pub he school money, raised by taxing the whole from, the hands of the School. Directors, whom the people elect, and place it In the hand* and control of the Trustees oftheUnivorsity, to be appropriated by them. What say. the tax-payers to this 1 .These Trustees are not elected by the people; and, proba bly, not more than half of them reside in Pittsburgh. As a board, tlien, they are not the proper person, to have the control of the Public School funds of the city of Pittsburgh. They are worthy men; but, aa a Board of Trustees of tho University, they, should not have, and, I do.not wish to have, the control, or any share in the control, of the Public Schools in this city. ■ - „ But,again, the Public High School will of course have a female department. It is ao in other cities. Docs “ Unitv” propose, then, to scmfthp younffla dies of Pituburgh to College or the University I What think the ladies of this? Such a thing '»not generally practiced in this country, except at Ober lin, and not very auccessfolly there. - Again: the University building isnot large enough, i and is not properly constructed for the Public High School; and is located in tho most inelligible situa tion that could beselrcted for such a purpose. MsrnV other objections coaid bo named; but time will not permit. I will only add that I have none but friendly feelingß towards the Umventy and its. ' professors and trustees. I hope that institution ! will protper. But let tho University aland upon ita. 1 own looting, and depend upon the ability end faith “ fulness of its teachers for support. Too High ** School will not injure it; but help it. The more *• you educate the whole people, the more parents 18 will send their aona to college. ” 1 would propose a public meeung, and a discus sion of the whole subject. OMICRON.
