round Gcn. Cass, who will arrive in this country
in December next, and in whose favor a public

PORTRAITS FROM LIFE !
The sketches below are so finished that not an.
other touch is wanting to make them perfect.—
TIM first, is , froni the pencil of Mr. Has Well, the
Editor of thc Nantucket Islander, a zealous Loco
Foco paper, whose means of observation are el.
tensive, and whose assertions therefore are not to
befdisputed. He says—
" With a few highly honorable exceptions,'the
leaders of the Democratic pasty are among the
mostpontemptable of created creatures; actual li
bels on humanity, and political blasphemers
Against the dignity of Heaven. NVitli the words
of freedom forever on their' lips, they never jet
slip an opportunity of shelving that their service
is. lip service; and to their eternal disgrace he it
said, the, Democratic party seldom fail to applaud
and uphold all such manifestations of an utter
want of deep seated principles.

COMMON SCHOOLS.
The superintendent of Com Mon Schools,..Bom
A. V. PAILSONNII . pS issued a circular to•all of the
distriets that have adopted the School-System:re
commending a uniform class of books to he used
in our common schools,- T a-matter greatly wanted
by the pcoßld: •
- We have not - room to Imblii‘h the circular on•
ire, butliave extracted mime of the reasons which
he has-given, why the recommendation is made,
which cannot fail forcibly to impress the public
Mind with the-propriety of the' measure, and ive
obi() give a lfst of the books which have been se.
lected. From the circular it appears that this re.
commendation is confined to the primary branches
of:ed,u ertlion,AuLtt
fort meets with the approbation of thepublic, his
labors will be extended to all the branches, of Eug.
litCraturc taught in our-common schools
The superintendent remarks that, during the
period ho has been discharging the duties of Su
perintendent of common schools he has been re.
.peatcdly 'called upon to recommend a a set. of
School Books, which might be adopted by the
schools generally throughout the state. These
solicitations have been made by members of the
Legislature and brschool direct Ors and others re
siding in different parts of the state who feel a
deep interest in the piogross of our common
schools.
The inconvenience arising out of the present
wapt of uniformity in the elementary books ren.
dor the school system unnecessarily burthensome
and tend greatly 'to retard the improvement .I*tite
pupils.
' The board-of directors - now deternihm, what
books shall be used in each district. In the 'per
formance of this duty they have been F. ccustorued
to decide very much according to the wishes of
the teacher. There has been no uniform ssystem
of school books accessible to the majority of the
directors by whiclrthey might be aided in mak.
and teachers differ very much in
their view as regards the comparative merits of
hooka. The consequence has been that With every
new teacher and with every change in the mom.
hers of the Board, there bus been a disposition to
introduce a different set of school books.. This
has occasioned great unnecessary expense, and
afforded just grounds, of complaint on the part of
those who have children to be educated.
There is another great injury resulting from the
frequent change of elementary books. After a
pupil has made some advance in the study of a
certain branch ho is transferred to another author
who treats the same subject on a different plan.
This renders it necessary fbr the pupil in many.
instances to unlearn what ho had before acquired.
It tends also to render hint confused and disgusted
with the whole subject. ,
.
Again as themtens whoie duty it , is to , direct
what books shall be' used haVe not alwayff the Up.
p_ortunitY or tho leisure _ Limo necessary to enable
them to judge correctly' of their quality, it :olleri
happens that the books introduced ore of very
inferior dcscription, and illy calculated to gromato
the object in view.
