The amendment_ of the Senate, fixing on

President John Tyler.
As every one seems anxious to ascertain
the opinion of
.President Tyler upon the
subjects'of Distrib'ution 'Of Public
Land's amongst the States, &c., we give an
extract from a letter written by him on the
17th-of October, -- 1840, - to Colonel
Robinson, Jr., of Pittsburgh. The letter
was published in the Pittsburgh Advocate
of Thursday week.
" My. opinions were fully- expraased at
St. Clairsville and at - Steubenville. - At both
'places, in regard to ihe question, ' What
are Your opinions as to the Tariff?' , I an
swered that I was in favor, of- sustaining
the 'Compromise Bill. That it contained
the principle of'Tetroaction ; the moment
the duty attained its mincmumovhich forc
ed up the protection eo ilia:anti. to what
was equivalent to 40 per cent. That the
change which it effected in, the place of .
valuation, and the mode Of payment, was
fully equal in my view to 15 or 20
,per
cetiw --- and that with cessatiiiirorthe War
upon the currency-which-had
.paralyzed
the industry of the country, I wa s sanguitie
in the hope -and. the , belief s ' that prosperity
would-berspeeddy-restored.-jTliat
nection with this, I would tale 'occasion to
Say that I was in,favor-of the distribution
of the•proceeds nf the sales of the public
lands among
,the - states, and in favor of
raising theireveliue by duties on imports
_hi opposition to a resort to a system of
direct - taxation, as every way dn'erous to
the people, Unproductive to the Treasury,
and expeniiiein the collection'. - That in
these views I was pleased , to believe. that
I concurred with. Mr. Clay and' Generall
Harrison, so that there existed a prospect,
in the event of General Harrison's election;
that a permanent system would be intro
duced in place of a fleeting and ever vary
ing system which promised one thing to.
day. and produced another to-morrow.
"The above, as well as' I can now recol
lect, was in, subitance what I said at St.
Clairiville, and Steubenville. I see in it
nothing to retract and nothing to explain,
and should have repeated the above at
Pitteburgkliiit for the fact that , those' a-
round me' exclaimed,. ' that is enough)!
when my answer Was .given,". •
Businttos Con'vention.
t,
The period has arrived when by-reason
of the repeated revulsione which havirleen
experienced in business affairs, public at
tention is being forcibly directed towards
the adoption' of a permanent policy, which
shall prevent their recurrence, and establish
_the great and leading intereita of the coun
try upon guelka basis that.thei pay fully ,
develope,temilelvet without fear, in spite
of foreigolnfluence, competition and legis 7
lation. Pennaylvaida, more espeCially then
any Other - eitate in lhe — Unidn, has an error-

t
of that policy. Her vast agricultural, man
. nfacturing .and other resources, have . al
'ready been metteurably developed, • but Of
late years certainly riot in the ratio that
"might have been reasonably tuitielpated.r.--
She is now among the foreinoat of all , the
states, 'in all the great-elements'ot prosper
ity, and those who are familiar with her
statistics", confidently pronounce' that she
would soon be the very foremost, if due
encourigement were extended to the in
dustry and enterprize of her citizens. , To
consider
,the present condition of the va
rious branches of , induitry pursued within
,the Halite oE the state;—examine their im
mediate and prospective resources—in
quire into the measures .most suitable for
their relief from pressing embarrassments,
and for their future protection, and lay the
result before the people for their_conside
ration; are all objects of primary_ impor
tance, before.final action.. To effect these
purposes, it is proposed to hold a conven
tion fit arrisburg, on the 25th day of May
next, in which the agricultural, mechanical
and mining interest ofthe commonwealth,
be represented. As a profound anxiety for
:hp general welfare,, a belief that it pannot
be in , any way so 'well promoted, as by
consulting among• those who are• individ
ually interested; dictates this call, it is
hoed it wilLbe_warmly responded-to.--
The above is sighed by about 30 gentle-
men, members of the Legislature, Manufai
turers, and Agriculturalists, among Whom
is Ge'neral - Miller, of this c o unty. 'lt is
certainly a good move, and immediate mea
sures should be taken to have Cumberland
county fully represented.

the community at large; as well a,s forthe
purposes 'of the Treasury, it is essential
that the nation • efiould possess a currency

of that description, and the measures taken

REPORT-
Of the Directors of the Common Schools, to
The Directors by their conimittee respectfully stik
mit to their Pell6w citizens the' following, exhibits
and remarks Veladie to the schools of Allis-district.
• The .number of seholars .applyirg for admission
:into the, primary department ditring the: past winter
has been so great; as to oblige the Directors to pat at
times seventy and eighty scholars in some of die
schools, more than uny one' teacher' could possibly
attend to: this has decided the - Board to open A new
school for boys, and the arrangement will be complet
ed, so us to accompli.li it during the 'present month.
This-school will
.make fifteen in the borough, open
eleven months in the year,and sustained at an expense
of about four thousand dollars per annum. , ,
The school district now owns real estate Which
- nott - $ 213-50 ; 00 omd -- witirtheimpeirvcirien'ts-and-alter,-
. ations since made, may be fairlfistimated at $3000;
affording accommodations fcr several schools, and a
large Saloon for-exhibitioNind riddle purposes ; be--
sides ground for another school house.
The balance of purchase money yet unpaid and is
Mien on the prtiperty is $1483,33,

paid annually, . $283 8 . 3

The board ;will be able to reduce the liens $3OO,
which.they promised the pnblic should be appropri
ated out of the taxes levied last yearoind which, it
will be seen by the annexed . exhibit, will, be in the
Treasury ready to be sci.applied,,leaving an ample
surplus to meet any immediate calls.

The Teachers salaries will be increased for the
ensuing year to $3477,37 by the'addition of another
school, but other expenses. will probably be • dimin
ished. We may estimate the whole expense of the
fifteen schools' at 4060 dollars, and ;i f e calculate on
paying-on-account of-the purchase ,of real - estate on
or before the Ist of April, 1842, the stun of 600 dol
lars; making the whole amount 4,600 dollars to be
pros ided for.
• To meet this we will hare on hand according to
the foregoing eahibit,on the Ist June_lB4l,__sT4B,l2

. .
According to these estilribtea the same additional
tax as last year, will leave a balance in the Treasury
osrthe Ist - of June 1842 of about $362,00, a sum.
which in the opinion of the,board, ought always' to,
bedp hand to meetany unexpected demands or losses.
Tile board are aware (in presenting the ir 'estimates)
of the weight of taxation at present bearing• on, us,
and the probability of. a considerable addition in an
other year, to meet the interest on the Stale deht,and
the question has been referred to a cominittee'of the
board to examine and report whether anli - chatwe
could be made in the general expenses 'of the school;
systeni;'withaxt materially deranging the plan.
. •
During the year Angels' ser‘ ies of Reading books have
been substituted for 'Ettimervoies, Smith'a,for Kirk.:
hams' grammar; and Parley's Common School His
tory for Tiger, and Proses Companion added to the
list; the board believing that these books were in.
many respects superior to those in use, and the ex%
changes being abated through the liberality,
.of. the
publishers,.noLonly, without any expense, but to the
manifest:what:Use of the public. ' -,
.
, The Apprentice's Library assooiation and contrib
utorts have , transferred to the School ' district;their
Library, reserving the use of it to the Apprentices
of the Borough under suitable regulations ; believing
that this disposition , of the hooks underth circum- ,
stances of. the Society, would best answer,the inten
tions of theloundirs, pock aubterv'e the tublie;good.
.Arrangements are irtpromss for °Weimar the semi

may ultimately form the Pools of a public library,
