as follows :
' Fremont is going to poll a good vote
in this stronghold of Democracy. There
will be a heavy vote for Fillmore. If the
Opposition would unite on Fremont, Bu

The JSuto Supcriutendeat here u elected ,

the party liues are drawn as tight as party
spirit can make them, so much to that an
aet of official courtesy and justice on the

predecessor of opposite politics, lost him
the renominatiou this fall, although he

each county once every year, and is allow- ;
ed one clerk, but cannot hate him more I
tban six months in the year! With bis
complex duties and responsibilities, it is
easy to see bow much of the time his of
fice must be closed. The School system
here is slowly reaching an assured founda
tion, through an experience in some re
spects very similar to that of our own
State, only of less duration. The evils of
single school districts, and tho want of
County supervision are felt and deprecated,
and in these particulars they are cheered
and stimulated by the example of Finn
sylvania. In libraries and text bo"ki
they are much better off than we are ;
though, for all that, I much prefer that
the selection should reuiiiu in the direc
tors, as with U", near the parents, rather
thau in the combined heads of depart
