SALE or TUB MAIN LINE.
11l the degenerate day'B of Rome, the de
praved soldiery put up the Empire for sale
to the highest bidder, in our day the ele
ments of corruption are only bold enough to
propose that we shall sell the backbone of the
Stale—that we shalt cut out and sell to the
highssi bidder the main arteries in the body
and system of our internal improvements.—
This is to be sold for 5150,000 in money,
which will all be appropriated before it
i caches the treasury. The bonds which are
to form the balance of the purchase money
will be given to the Sutibury & Erie Railroad
Company, or to some other ol the spoilsmen's
corporations who are standing around with
greedy eyes and already licking their parch
ed jaws fur any little hugmenls. .
Next winter it will be found to have been
cruel an J unwise to sever the main trunk j
Irotn lite ministering and feeding limbs of ,
the public vvoiks, and the cry will bo "for |
mercy's sako unite them." Hut the I'etin- j
sylvai.ia llailroud Company will insist that
it has (airly purchased every pound of 110-li
in the Main body, and that the mountain |
will not go to Mubotnniod, but Mahommed |
may come to the mmii.uiio. The only rem- j
edy will be to give the limbs to Iho giant |
yvho shall already have tho body. Ho one j
by oi.e the different purls of the public works j
will be Hold or given uiv.iy; and HI ten years .
Uio Sial* will have tieilhor a mile ol public 1
improvements not u dollar us tho ptico ol :
them.
The power ilu.t is strong enough lo ureal

lie strong enough lo procure discharges ol it*

T lie SCHOOL DiiiKcroity CONVEN
TION.
It is ju6t that the public should know that
' the present Superintendent of Common
Schools docs not ask or desire a re-election
to that office. 11l health is the only reason
for this determination, for the association
- and connection with Iho schools of the
county have been to him entirely agreeable
. and pleasant. True, it has tint been a
- source of profit; but in the present condi
tion of public education the duties of the
office must be filled more as a labor of love
than for money. Mo man who seeks the
position for profit is fit for it; and it will be
well for the Directors of our county to re
meinbor this at the Convention next month.
, We were repeatedly urged to have our sal
ary raised, but our answer always was that
wo knew what the pay was when we took
- the otfiee, and knew too what its duties
e were.
i- If the pay had boon throe limes as large
0 we could not have served the cause any
b better. It so happens that there are only
s about two mouths and a hall—front the rnid
y die of December to the first of March—in
- which school visitations can be made. 'Take
, out of these Saturdays and stormy days,
1 and there are not on an average over lour
a days in a week which can be givon to litis
i' out-door work. The wonder then is rather
I I that wo visited as ninny as wo did, than
s I that we did not visit more. The first year
i | we field the oilico five mouths and visited
- three fourths id' the schools. The second
/year we visited nil but a tow which wore
| either closed or inaccessible by reason of I
f snow drills when we were in the district.— |
l.ast winter we did all we could, and visited j
I all except about 25 schools, notwithstanding j
j sickness front exposure, and the had roads,
lint the most benefit resulting front a su
pervision of the public schools is in the
| work sit home: where almost every day
I some teacher, director or citizen comes lot
I information or with a bill of complaint. It
| is in explaining the workings of Iho colli
j moo school system, in reconciling dtllictil
j tics, r.:::! it! preventing feuds and law-suits
' that most good can bo done. We found it
! was not enough lor us to frswiiir the tcitch
! crs who presented themselves, we were
! obliged in many eases to instruct them We
' rejected about a dozen each year, and would
| have retused certificates to others it there
j had been material with which to supply
! their places.
When xvc came in'o the otliec we lotttid
.' that in several townships the provisions ot
the common school law had never been
complied with, and that tiro children had
' been cheated out of an education. In Ilea
j vor the Directors were removed, anil in
1 Uoaiiogereek were compelled to open the
schools, and we have the gtatilieatiou ot
seeing tor the first time in the history of the
county that even township is acting under
the common school svstem when our otliei
! al connection with it closes.
When we came into the otliec we found
no concert ot action between the teachers
tor their improvement in learning or in j
| teaching. We orgtllittiil a Teachers A MO- |
ciation which lias held six sessions and
1 might benefit Teachers very much. Hut
we suggest that there ought to be more at
ioiition given by them to improvement tn j
the sciences and less to die exaction ot high
w ages \\ hen true excellence shall bo once
attained that xvtil < >.si.iu.t good ;\i\. No
doubt the tanlt lavs very much with the
directors tor not discriminating lni\xeen a
poor and a eonipeient teacher. Tor it *
good certificate xvas once paid well it
would become an object tor which teachers
would tr\ to prepare themselves, it is a
truth xvlue.li may as well be told, lor the
public ought to know it.— ih>ctl\>u>;hs of the
| tracker* of ll its roii>i/y air oaf* eminent tecs
Fhex have no doubt the average mental c.v
; paecx of other young men and young wo
imen in the State, but they need much train
ing to bo teachers Most of them frankly
' conies* this to its when they come to be
examined, and attiibuteit to their want of
propei instruction. Hut how will our schools

The Late Election In England.
Oat transatlantic cousins, who were lately
i. deeply interested in our election, and whose
,1 sympathies were so intensely enlisted in be
e halt of Fremont, Black Republicanism and
- " Freedom," have just passed through the
i. ordeal of an election themselves. In allu
-3 ding to this event, it may not be uninteresting
i to consider for a moment what sn Knglish
election Is, and who participate in it. We
have had so many homilies read to us by the
1 press of that country on the blessings of Free
, dom and onr lack of devotion to it, that it
• may be well to look what sort ol an example
■ this "free" and "freedom-loving" England
, holds up to us. Of course, Englishmen have
i no vote or voice in the election of their Chief
. Executive officers. The King or Queen, who
I inherits the crown, wields its prerogatives, bo
he or she wise or foolish, virtuous or do
bunched, imbeoile or able ;—nothing short of
absolute insanity can change the course ol
this inheritance. The pooplo appear to be
long to the reigning iamily, (possessing, to
be sure, certain reserved rights, &0.,) and the
power to rule and govurn them is transmitted
trorn ono generation to another, precisely as
the title to landed estates or peisonal proper
ly. In the selection of a co-ordinate branch
of the Legislative power, they also havo no
voice, and any uew legislation or reform,
which they may demand, are iherotoro only
attainable by tho consent ol a body, in Ihe !
selection of which iliey hnvo no voice, and j
which is entirely beyond their teach. As a j
compensation for all this, however,the House ,
of Commons is elective, and hero some op
portunity is afforded tor (lie public sentiment
of tho country to make itself felt in the ad- ,
J ministration of public affairs. The nppor
j lionment of members is so arbitrary and tin- |
! equal, that there is little justice in it, as 60,- <
i 000 qualified voters in one locality may have |
no greater representation in Parliament than |
300 voters in another quarter. Put the cx- [ j
clusivcncss of tbe whole system is at once i
glaringly shown by the fact that only a little
more than half milion, out of the entire
population, is allowed to vote nt all ! With !
a population considerably greater than that J t
of the whole I'uited Slates, her number ot vo- j t
tors is but litrlo mote than that of Pennsylva- <
nia. Fngiieh sympathies were wrought up 1 <
to ihe highest pitch, for the Fremont party, i
which just now seems rather more violently j '
exorcised with the terrible suffering of the ! j
negroes in not being considered omens, than j
with any ctliei subject—yet this same philau- 1 t
thropie, freedom-loving England refuses to : I
extend the tight of cilixenship to more than I
a mere faction of her own white inhabitants.,
who arc of ihe same race, color and physi- j <
oal attributes as the proudest of her utistoo- J
racy.
This is a trie typo of the negro philanthro- j 1
py, whether displayed in England or Anieri. j '
on. h nets on the same principle as thoe ;
lieailion nation* who deified interior animals j 1
and rendered them most reverent homage, j 1
while millions of fellow beings of their own 1
race, were left to pine in ciuel bondage, and j
remorseless tyranny. So England, with the j '
executive pon.oo ol her government entirely 1 I
beyond the reach ol the people, with one i 1
branch of hot Legislature atso high above !
their heads, ami with only 600.000 of her m- I
habitants allowed to participate ai all, and ,
tiiat too, I'lidvt peculiarly untait and unjust >
circumstance*, in the so-called popular branch
ol her government, reads us long homilies i
and weeps ever our cruelty, because a!- j
though every white male of the legal age can >
exercise a direct inffuencv in the choice ot
out rulers of every grade, we are r.or ready
to extend the privileges ol cuiteuahip to, and
recognise as our equals, some three or four t
nnl'.iOtis of a different color, an offensive
odor, peculiar characteristics, and of aninfe- !
riot race.
A noticoabU feature ~i the hue eleciions '
in England, is the lamentable tact that the
noblest champions of t eedom Great Britain ,
has, have been stricken down at the polls.—
Among others lew eminent, Cobdeo is cue
ot the victims. He tso ie of the few British ,
statesmen whs have had the manliness and j
courage to advocate the introduction into t
Biiitau of *o* ol the relorms which kad
been sttccessut.ly inaugurated here, and to i
attempt some hing really practicable and
substantial, lor the benefit and freedom of j
the masses of the British nation. Booh an
offence could not be lotgtven. He was a re
al, not a mock philanthropist. He studie,:
the we ha re of the people, not that of a few
selfish classes He sought to imitate some 1
of the salutary examples which America had i
given, and among other misdemeanors, his
jwrsisrent etToru had rescued trom imminent
pil ot statrauon large booiesof his country
men, si tbe haxard of diminishing the profits
of monopc ixing landholders, and for all this
/ret Kaglar.u has doomed him to defeat.
I The British journals announce that Lord
Faimersroa has achieved a brilliant victory
n the fare tfeeffOML Tbe leaiLtg quesict st
issae was his Chinese poiicy. and this hat
boee rostaiaed. The true reason of die em
phatic coviamemcrt of Lord ratmersoa by |
ihe B-o.ish people or rh.s question, * to be
found in ihe admi'atton of the sggsessive j
foreign policy,which cfcarscterreshim. The j
access'ions of aggressions which England
heais rpon as are as hypocritical as the nom- j
es cw treed cm she treats cs to. The wor'.d .

ous year, is £3,525 000, and the increase on
' Ihe quarter is £115,074.
In the Customs, the increase on the year
arises on nearly every head of duly except
tea and coffee, on which there is a decrease
or postponement of revenue of £1,000,000,
principally owing to the anticipated reduction
ol the duty in April. The quarter's revenue
is more especially affected by the same
cause,

Connecticut Election.
We can well afford to rejoice over the Elec
tion in Connecticut, tor ihj staunch Democ
racy have achieved a splendid victory in the
election of two out of the four members of
Congress, and reducing the seven or eight
thousand majority given to Fremont, leaving
thai parly to succeed now by, barely 600 ma
jority.
The Democratic gains in vaiious parts of
the Stale are immense, but New Haven we
believe bears tho palm in this respect. The
Democratic Congressmen in that District is
elected by 560 majority, a gain trom lust fall
ol more than 2500 !

Another instance of the folly of "martying
in fun" is jusl now exciting the good people
of Fonda. It teems that a baukiug officer in
that town met at a ball a young lady from
this neighborhood, who was very good look
ing, sprightly, and attractive. While waltz
ing with her, he proposed in jest that they
should be married. The lady accepted hia
proposition, and they adjourned to a side
room, where u person present was called up
on to perform the ceremony, which he did, to
the infinite amusement of all concerned.—
The gentleman thought no more of the mat- I
ter until the breaking up of the ball, when I
the fair partner called on him to conduct her 1
to Ins residence. He demurred, and thought j
she had better go to her own residence. She i
said that the home of her husband was hor I
home, "whither thou goest, 1 will follow j
thee." He didn't hardly understand that she j
was his wile. She insisted upon her martial '
rights, and'oloimed that as the ceremony had 1
been performed by a Justice of the Peace, it J
was n perfectly fair and legal transaction.— 1
The gentleman inquired into matters ; found 1
that her positions were correct, and that he ;
was in a bad box. He is now endeavoring I
to ignore his wile and back out of the bar- !
gain, with littls prospect of success, however. '
The lady has before been married, and was,
it is understood, divorced Irom her former '
hunbend, but under such circumstances as '
admitted of her mairying again.— Lnntaslei
