Besides, an evil in management may be corrected by the Directors. lt is not the school system itself, but the management of the schools that is complained: of.

Whereas, Inducements hem been held out by certain would-bo Politicians to the Whigs to leave their own party, and join another under the spe cious pretext of reform, and whereas, the existence of, any "other than the Whig party• seriously desi ring reform is extremely-problematical: And whereat!, we see no reason why we should forsake the principles of the revolution of '7O, by which this country achieved its :independence—princi- ; ;ptes which have been thh embodied.sentiments and opitiioris of the sages of the country from that tirdo -clown to our own Henry Clay: And whereas, we do not wislito forsake thole' weft known guides and Maxims for any new fledged doctrines, or to tack our faith to Men who ate unknown to us, ex cept by the-extreme modesty with which they or ; rOgate to thorns:dye's all thivvirtue and patriotism of the country: And Whereas, it is our desire and iinalletable determination to adhere firmly to our principles and party organization, believing as we do, that if reformation is sought it is only to be ob tained through the medium of the Whigs and by their unswerving devotion to, and support of whig . measure's and men-;and the correctness of this cause is ;abundantly marrifest tLe beneficial op eration of the„pieSent whii tariff. Therefore .Resolved, That we, the Henry Clay Whigs of the Borough of Pottsville, will give our cordial and united., support to the whole ticket foqued this evening. Resolved, That No hereby declaTe uncOmproini sing war against the unholy . policy ofLoCofocoism. and the unjust attempt made by the .Nativo Amer icans' to break down our organization, and we Wal do our utmost to complete the drill of the great whig army and to carry out the grand Republican principles taught by Washington, Jefferson and the patriots of the Revolution.' • - - Resolved, That we are in &bey of; and will ne-: ver desert the Whig tariff of 1842 7 -that we are in favour of the diatributimiof the land fund among the States --a further limitation of the veto power; the one term firinciple, and a regulation of the •I - currency by National means. Resulred, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the whig, papers of _Schuylkill county if the I I ( the J. K. Clement.

This compact uperate4mtirrly in our favor. 'When it was made,Great Britain had .a hundred times the people .and tholisand times the.poncer West of the;Rocky Mountains. thattvo had. But this arrangement rendered that power ofno moment, and' our end has' atesdily 1.11:1 , X11 ahead over since, until Ourjrrivrey in the basin of the 'Oregon is this'. year eo s in] thiu of Great Britain for the first, and next: yearwill be double what it now is. Nature, fortune, eve'ry'thing but the reckless fatuityof.our demagogues, operate in ;our favor. The British in that region arc ,there as trappers and traders and'inust diminish in hunt .her as the game grows scarce.: But '',our people have gone there as Itusbandinen and ArtirAns, and every year strengthens their hold on the coun try apart from the successive and alinost annual duplications of their numbers by migration from this side of the Rocky Mountains. j,'l In this stataof things, while the 'held of Great Britain on Oregon is daily relaxing and 'that of this country steadily Strengthening 'front collies the most palpable amienduring„ and sander an ar rangement which 'neither party is artiseity to ter minate without giving twehe month' notice to the other, it is proposed on our part to Make 'a grab at tho whole; and so throw everyithing at the mercy of the power which can aisemble the great. er Naval force • at the mouth of the golunthia Was eVer the' natural 'affiiiiity of crime With'mad ness more palpable than here.? But hearken to some more of the brriad un truths by which our 'people are : to tic: lied into an utterly wanton war. Says the N. I.lSun . 'Our exclusiVe rights to the - whore of thegon are defined by treaties between two or more of the great powers of the 'earth—Russia, the. United States, France, Spain' and, England and. be ac tual possession prior to that conventirin with Eng land .which gave her people the right to trade Territory. Our rights are plain and Un doubted. lc . ow:there is not one syllable in any existing Treaty which purports to give us .exclusive rights to the wholo -of Oregon' or any thing,,lilie it. We have treaties with Spain' and Mexico fixing the Noithern line.of Mexico - at lat. 42°, and we have, as has England, a similar Treaty with Russia, fixing the Southern line of that Empire at lat. 54° 40`. Between thiselatitudes lies Orogen, the re gion'ofthe dolutabia' and• Fraser's Rivers. where in we arc joint occupants with Great Britain, un ' der two successive Treaties. 'Caving the questiall of ultimate sovereignty entirely open for future adjustment. -And, sofar . froM our Claim to the whole being established by'actual possession,. the earliest nominal possession was that of the British subject Meares at • Nootka Sound in,•1788; while the earliest actual, enduring possession' was that • of the British at Frazer's settlement in .1805, six years prior to Astor'# settlement at the mouth of the'Columbiti, which was ,our first 1 actual poss ession: And William .Sturgis of_Aloston, who Was a Yankee . Ciptain (MOD North West coast forty to fifty years ago, and, who is,perfectly fa miliar with all the discoveries and doings of both parties, unites with neatly all candid, intelligent men among us in the corokictiOn thM, while..our rights in Oregon are superior, Great Britain has' some rights there, and that we should not be justi. fled in attempting tercut her oIT from the Pacific, even v,vere we.able•to do it. • , Now Great Britainis willing to compromise or to arbitrate,•for she does not regard the Territory as. of great practical 'value, though she will not stand tainelrby, and see her• people, who have been settled these 30 and even 40 years, driven out as vagrants and land stealers. All that is re ally in dispute betvireen the two Nations is not worth the sacrifice of a hundred dives. 'Great Britain does not claim the Southern half of the ter ritory, while the Northern is a dreary wilderness of crag and snow, which would be ..:utterly value less to us. For what do we want to turn the flank of Canada and cut the British: off • from the Pacific Is -the motive jealousy, ,er malice, or blind rapacity ? Who can asetibe a rational one? And yet, says the Sun; War is always to be . avoided when it can be done with honor.' Certainly; every human butcher, every duals', from Nimrod to Napoleon, and so' down to Do jerrier, has said the' same thing. ' Honor impera tively demanded the expedition to,Moscow. Hon or has for forty centuries been busily defacing the earth with untimely graves, and drenching it with the -blood of victinas, the tears of widows and 'or phans. Honor is the demon disguised as an an gel of light who ever mocks at the sentiment of Human Brotherhood and the Divine precepts of Christ.
