"FEARLESS AND FREE."
D. OVER —Editor and Proprietor.
OCR SENATOR.
The Gazette, after looking all session iD vain
for something better, last week informed tbe
public that onr Senator bad introduced a bill
proposing lo make the office of State Treasur
er elective by the people, instead of by tbe Le
gislature, as heretofore. It further informs us
that this change is to bo made forthwith by ibis
bill, so tbat an election may be had the coming
fall for State Treasurer uuder the new law. It
thus appeals that our distinguished Senator
and the editors and lawyers of the Gazette, are
about making short work of, aDd setting aside,
the Constitution, by an Act of Assembly.—
We bope they will not be so rash. Our State
Constitution provides that "a State Treasurer
shall be elected annually by joint vote of botb
branches of tbe Legislature."
We had supposed the legislature could not
repeal eo plain a clause of the Constitution, and
Mr. Sohsll and the editors'of the Gazette be
ing all lawyers, bad best take this matter into
considers'ion. Y\ e suspect it will be some
tirae~yet before Mr. Schell gets his law into op
eration.
We see too that ihe great hobby of our Set
tlor—the ibeiishing the issue of all notes by
our banks of leas denomination than twenty
dollrre— and which be has been aiding for the
lost two yeais, has also broken down. Even
the Democratic Senate voted it dead, as it most
richly deserved. When Mr. Schell gets our
ten and five dollar notes all abolished, and the
eountry flooded with those from other States,
nnd the Constitution repealed by Act of Assem
bly, so as to elect a State Treasurer by the peo
ple, we bops to have due notice.
Tax Payers,
Remember that the Locofoeo party have
plunged Bedford County iuto a debt of some
SS.OOG.
Remember that they have plunged tbe Poor
House into a debt of some §3.000 or §4.000!
Remember that they have nearly doubled the
County taxes!
Remember thai they have nearly doubled tbe
Poor taxes* I
F.crocmher that tbe culy wsy to reform mat
ters, is to eorno out from that party, and have
nothing to do with it io future!

has done more in three yctrs to populariza the
aeier.ee of accounts, than any other institution

The great length of the letter from Okiboji

BROTHER OF HENRY CLAY.—\VE FIUD ABA 1
following in an exchange: ''Among the un
marked aud unhonored graves in tbe rural cem
etery at Camden, Arkansas, is that of a broth
er of the illustrious Henry Clay—bis only mon
ument is an oak tree, with the initiul* of his

said to have been an humble and devoted min
ister of the Gospel.
A JOLLY VIEW OP DEBT.
The Journal of Commerce has at least one
philosophic editor. He baa been taking a view
"f Buchanan and Cobb's empty Treasury and
tbe public debt of a hundred millions, and thus
consoles himself:—
<l We are begiuning to witness the benefits,
aDd the substantial advantages, arising from
an exhausted Treasury. There is no money
to steal, consequently those who live by their
wits at the seat of power, are driven to the I
most extraordinary straits, und seetn likely to i
seek, through compulsion, a mods of lire more j
in accordance with the principles of public ;
morality, and vastly more beneficial to them- |
selves and the country. We derive great sat
isfaction from the contemplation of the exhaust
ed exchequer, ttnd draw therefrom lessons of
wisdom.''
What a graphic picture of the present r.tri- !
tcdo of the Democratic party. Having stolen
nil there was, the Journal thinks they may i
now reform per force. Is not a part of its j
groat satisfaction derived from the reflection j
that all that has been stolen has gone into the j
pockets of 1

OCR COMMON SCHOOLS—NO. 2.
In the first article of this subject, it is said j
that our State policy, iu the establishment of !
our common schools, is tbe same in principle :
as in cur laws for the protection of life aud
property. But this is not all; I would by co
means stop bete, and say nothing mere on this j
point. In the direction of the schools the pol- j
icy rises much higher in its motives than that, j
aud becomes more enobiing in its principles.— j
It is this superior policy and these higher prin- j
ciples, thai influenced the minds of our past j
aud present legislators, and prevailed alsc in !
the breasts oj ill our great and good men in I
reference to the schools. Our system is not j
mcnly to make the school house supersede I
prisons ond penal laws, nor is it inteuded only ;
to place facilities in the bauds of our children
to be regarded as a mcns subservient to tbo I
business engagements of life. Tbe true idea
of the education of our children is not reached
if we think of nothing more than what is con- j
tained in books, and a certain routine of stud- I
ies, which, when gooe through with, is suppo- 1
sed to he accomplished, and then laid aside to j
be used as in'cret may suggest, or conve- j
nicGco demand. The spirit of oar school sys
tem includes much more than this; it does uot i
simply aim to qualify our children for the bus- I
iuesa employments of life, but it also aims to I
lay a sure foundation for their moral and social j
enjoyments. It comprehend* whatever may
have a good iDfiuer.ee iu developing tbe j
mind, by giving direction to thought and prop- j
er motives to action. It contemplates not on
ly tbe growl/), but tbe improvement of the mind
also, and has immediate aud prospective happi
ness in v iew as its great object. That cduca- j
lion which secure* this to our childreu— to the
greatest number of our childreu, or to the
world, is the best education; and that system i
best adapted to accomplish this purpose, is the
best system. It is the desire of our common |
schools, to give thorough instruction in all the j
brancheo of SD elegantly retiued English edu
cation, and, with this, associate that correct ;
moral and socitl influence, which leads the lit
tle child into the paths of duty; which gives
direction to the immortal spirits of youth, and
teaches them to aspire to tbe rewards of virtue,.
by well doing; which imparts to them that
knowledge whose ways are usefulness aud hon
or, which leads theui to make their own incli- i
viduality subserve the interests of the public ;
good, aud r-fleet properly upon the ties which
unite them to friends ind kindred, aud the
world around then*.
In some places these interests are felt and
acknowledged, and in others they are not. In
Bedford, 1 am happy to say, there are many
persons now thinking rightly on this great sub
ject. It i* too true, that our schools here have j
mostly been cf the lowest grade, and our citi- |
xeas bsvo not heretofore enjoyed tho advsnia- |
gca, neither bava cur children reaped the bea- !
efits which our common school system places ,
within their reach. Tho schools in our town '
have been laboring, in some respects, under
more serious -.Lead vantage* iui*n the schools in i
any of our townships. Besides the poorest
kind of teachers that were sometimes employed,
and vory badly conducted schools, our children
were obtidged to go to those unhealthy base-
Kients which wero rented for school put pose*.
But Bedford is waking up in regard to this in
terest. The atrro necessity of haviug better
schools, and better school accommodations, is
acknowledged by all. But from tbe first wa
yipg uj? on this subject, a difference of opinion
existed- ft&d stl! J t0 a greater or less de
gree, as U> t> est p' aQ t0 pursued in the
erection of school Uyusia, and iu elevating tho
character of the jehooL. Wo have children
for six schools, and a id* number will not suf
fice. A few of tuo citixens were io favor of
having six bouses located in different parts of
the town. But, under auob an arrangeun..ht,
vtiry little improvement could be expected.—
Others tUought that three larger houi.es should
bo built, each wib an upper und a lower mom,
and lave each house to accommodate two
schools. But objections wero urged against
this plan. It was thought that three plats,
each sufficiently largo to accommodate one huu
dred children, could not easily be had, and
>hat three buildings, of this kind, would cost
much, w not more, than one sufficiently large
to accommodate all the schools, auJ, further,
that the school* coutd be better graded, aud
Loudoctuii to a better advantage in one build
ing, tbaD in three. And then, after considera
ble debate op .subject, at several public
meetings, the voice of the people declared, at
the spring election, by a inajo-ity of twenty
two, for a "Uiupu House," which is now being
curried forward by an active ami ccargetic
board.of directors, ami-it is confidently hoped
.that the belter judgment atodsuperior.reaiu .Vi f

She asked to have her pillow adjusted, re

The exchange of a temporal, suffering life
for an eternal, happy one had no horrors for her
iu the instrument cf dent!:. Surrounded by
many kind and dear friends, and with a goad
minister at her bed side, she passed away into
her deep good sleep almost unobserved.
A void has been oiadc—a link broken in the
family circle uever to be rcpplied.
Her christian virtues, good judgment, and
amu heart had made her a model wife, in

Her last moment wss her happiest one. May

It is our painful duty to record the rather
sudden departure of this Father, Neighbor and
h lie mi. The deceased wus born in London
county Virginia. He came to Bedford County
when but a youth, and lived for uianv years in
Brush Creek Valley, where he was beloved by
ail his neighbors; he served in the war of 1812.
We know hut little of his Miliitary iifc, but it
is worthy of notice, that he was engaged iu the
service of his country. Thus are we again
called upon to record the death of ono of oid
friends who once lived as we now do, but he
has died as we must. Duriog his illness he
was engaged in making his peace with God.—
The writer of this notice has been informed
that he gave evtdence that he was fully pre
pared to meet his God.

flow transient every earthly bliss,
How slender all the fondest ties,
That bind us to a world like this."

Drs. FITCH & STKNS would state that their treat
ment of consumption is based upon the fact that j
the disease exists in the blood and system at large,
both before and during its development in the
lungs, and they therefore cr.tj.ioy Mechanical, Hy
gienic and Medicinal remedies to purify the blood
and ttr.ngtiien the system. With these they use
MEDICAL INHALATIONS, which they value
highly, hot only as Palliatives, (having no curative
effect when used alone,) and invalids are earnes'ly
cautioned against wasting the precious time of
curability upon any treatment based upon the
plausible, but false idea that the "sect of disease
can be reached in a direct luansrr by Inhalation."
For as before stated, the seat of the disease is in
