nt views and principle of action as present z "We are satisfied that the intoxi. eating drinks, when used as a beverage by lemons in health, are never beneficial, but tidbit, and that to abandon such use would greatly tend to promote the health, virtue, happiness, and prosperity of mankind." This he also read aloud, and immediately said. "That is true. I believe it, and would willingly sign it myself, if I thought that in France it could at present do good." His Majesty then spoke generally Of the in temperance of other nations, England, Russia, and Sweden, &c., and his earnest desire appeared to be, that this most odious vice might every were cease. He con. tzastid in the most flattering manner the peculiarly happy condition of our own country, to receive and profit by such a re formation, with the difficulty to be met and overcome in France, and passed a high ' eulogium on the character of our people. I stated to the King, that I had been out. side the barrier which surrounded Paris, and where the common people resort to drink wine, because there it is free of duty. " Ah," said ho, "there you will hod drun kenness." Ad truly I had seen it there, in all its horrors and debasing effects, and ehrejty on wine. I told him, that my guide had said that he thought one eight of the population of Paris were drunkards ; his majesty thought this too great a portion. I repeated also another remark made by my wide, "that the king had done much for'krance when he shut the gambling-hou ses, but that he would do a still greater good, if he would stop the drinking of in toxicating drinks." Before closing, I must in justice to my own feelings, express to - you, how much I have been indebted to Gen. Cuss, our min iater to this court. You know, that from the commencement of our efforts, he had been greatly interested in this cause, and always ready to give his testimony in favor of it. In my interview with the King, he seconded me most kindly and most faithfully; to him, under God, I am indebted for the favorable reception I received. In a day or two 1 leave fur Italy. I hope to return to America some time next year, but shall be governed by circumstances. In a letter written a few Aye afterwards, Mr. D. thus speaks of his interview with the Dnke of Orleans. Since my former letter I have been in troduced by our minister, Cen. Cass, to the Duke of Orleans, with whom I conversed in a private audience for an hour on the sub ject of temperance. I was surprised to learn, that. the Duke had long since united with the only society in France, which only recognize the old pledge against ardent spirits. I informed him, that we in A me. rice had changed our pledge, and submitted to him the one we now act upon, the same I had shown the King-; he remarked, as the King had done, that it was right and true, that he had no doubt that all intoxicating drinks are injurious as a beverage to men in health, and that the 'intemperance of France was on wine." The Duke went into a full relation of the great difficulties to be encountered in France. I4e stated that of thirty-four millions of people, four teen millions are engaged in some way directly or indirectly in making or vending intoxicating drinks. He also stated, that in those districts whore most wine was made, there was - also the greatest wretchedness, and the most frequent appeals to government for aid, and also, that so large a portion of the doll was now cultivated fur wine, that the raising of stock and grain was diminish ing to an alarming extent, and that he looked to the diminution of the use of wine in other countries, as a source of hope for France; that, failing for a market for her wine, the fields of France might be culti vated to greater advantage to produce more abundant food and clothing for the people. The Duke expressed great interest in the success of the cause every where ; and so near is he in principle and practice with us, that, I was told, he only colors the water that he drinks, when etiquette seems to make the use necessary.— Watchman. Extraordinary 'Suicide. A case of suicide accompained with the most extraordinary and even romantic cir cumstances occurred in New York on Sun day. It of Petro de Polo Qualocum, a native of Smyrna, aged 20 yeare,who killed himself at 221 Fulton street. It appeared at the coroner's inquest,that the deceased who had boarded there for a long time, became passionately euamoured of a young German Girl also boarding there, named Josephine Jarman, but his passion was not reciproca ted—and he was moreover desperately jeal• cue of a barber, and this drove him nearly to desperation. About a fortnight ago, while conversing with a friend he spoke of the Girl in the warmest terms,and said he wished to marry her, but she had refused to have him, and he intended to shoot her and then himself. Hie friend advised him of the folly of such a proceeding, and so far soothed his feelings as to incluse him to leave the house for a time. Absence however only increased his passion and he soon returned, and again pressed hie suit upon the girl,and was again rejected. On Sunday morning, about nine o'clock, he went into her room, and after again pleading his cause in vain, he drew two pistols from hie pocket. One he discharged at her,the ball lodging in her right side, acd causing a wound from whioh is feared medical skill cannot save her, the other he discharged at his own head. The reports of the pietal and the cried of the unfortunate girl 'brought some of the inmate of the house to the dreadful scene, where he was found lying across the girl on the bed, both of them completely de ludged.in Wood, and she bespattered with hie brains. - :He was still alive but speech less, and in a few minutes he expired. Medical assistance was promptly called in to the aid of the helplesa girl, but the efforts of the physicians to ex'rat the ball have thus car proved ineffectual, and it is more than probablelhat she cannot survive. in the ease off' the young man, who committed their dreadful deeds, the jury returned a renhot bi suicide* by shootuig - himself She hand Wilk P pistol . —Sattinsoec GraTTSBITUGH, P.A.

Gettysburg Rail Road. i tlThe Legislature, after having spent about $750,000 on the above named work, have at length determined to abandon it, from and after the Ist day of March next. This work, oriel of the most important to Penn sylvania, that her statesmen have ever projected, has been sacrificed to the recklessness of party spirit. This is a sad commentary on the wisdom and patriotism of our present rulers. They dis regard the interest of the Commonwealth at the same time that they violate their own most solemn pledges. The present Governor, in his late message, re commended the abandonment of this work, al though in his capacity of Senator, he several times, virtually pledged himself to its support, by voting ' appropriations for its construction. But incon sistency and the violation of pledges, are light matters, in the estimatien of our present rulers, if I by such inconsistency and violation, the monster party may be popitiated Yet it is believed, that all the hostility genera ted by party against this branch of the Public Im provements, was giving way, before the great in terests of the Commonwealth and that it would not have been suspended had it not been for our own Senator, Thomas C. Miller. This man opposed the work in all the stages of the discussion 'elating to it; and whilst he votes millions to works, com paratively useless, he refuses to give a dollar to a work so important to his own constituents and the slate generally! This Thomas C. Miller, was in favor of this work, until a majority of the votes upon it were cast against him. Since that he op.. pose, it. This is his magnanimity ; this is his re_ gard for his official oath t We have been informed that the $150,000, ap. propriated to this work„will not pay the arrears due to Contractors and the damages to the prop erty holders. Mr. Clay's Speech. (0 -Mr- Clay,in his speech,ideliverecl in the Senate of the United States, on the alibied of Slavery, speaks of the power of Congress to abolish slavery in the District of Columbta, as being "questionable." This doubting on the part of Mr. Clay in relation to this matter, accords with all the later acts of importance, in the history of his public life. He has so long been in the habit of acting half right and half wrong, that his mind seems no longer, to possess the power of arriving at any conclusion, or if it does, he has not inde pendence enough boldly to avow what such con clusion is. His Argument on this subject is most vague and rambling; ho speaks about "the object of the Cess ion" of the District to the United States, and de clares that Congress has the power to abolish Slavery in said district if it "is necessary in order to render it a comfortable Seat of the General Government." Whatever power Congress posSOSSCPB, in refer once to the subject of Slavery in the District o Columbia, is absolute,and derived from the follow tng provision in 'the Constitution of the United States, under which provision, the Cessions were were made, of the ten miles square, by States of Maryland and Virginia: "congress shall have power to citcrefse es-chairs Legislation in all cases whatsoever, ever sue Ist et (nut exceeding tea miles square) as may by. Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of General Government" In this provision of the Constitntion, the power of Congress to Legislate, is not limited or re stricted in any respect. It is also eexclusiva." All right, in the Legislatures of the States mak ing the Cession, is taken away and vested in Con gress. No considerations of ecomfort and con venience," can add to or subtract from the power of Congress, over the District. These are matters, doubtless, that should enter into consideration of wise and patrioth. Legislators, in making up their ininds,ns to the propriety of exercising their pow er ; bid the existence of the power, is to be deter mined before any such considerations can arise. If the power of Congress to abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia, is to be detracted from on the one hand or supported on the other, by arguments, derived from the fitness and conveni ence of things, let Mr. Clay and those who deem the power of Congress ..questienable," in this respect, look at the question in the following light. Have the States of Virginia and Maryland the power, respectively, to abolish slavery, within their limits 1 Hove all the Slave holding States the samepower I unquestionable they have. But none of them, nor all of them together can abolish slavery in the District of Columbia. If Congress has not the power to do it, there exists no power by Which it can be done. But is it not absurd to say that slavery may be abolished every where, except in the District of Columbia, where it must Le perpetual? It is worse than absurd to say, that a teritory belonging in part to the people of the free States, must remain forever under the Domin ion of Slavery, whilst all around it, even in what are now the slave States, it shall have been abol ished I It is idle to argue, as Mr. Clay does by impli cation,that if Slavery had ceased to exist in Mary land and Virginia, Congress would then possess the unquestionable power to abolish it in the District of Columbia. This argument, like one already noticed, might be very conclusive against the propriety of abolishing it in the District, while it continues to exist in the adjoining States but it has no force when applied to the question of tha power of Congress. This last as before remarked, was derived from the provisions of the Constitu tion, under which the Cession was made, and was perfect and complete, immediately upon the mak ing of the Cession, by the States of Maryland and Virginia. Sincrithat time it hasgrown none in extent, and cannot become any larger, except by an act of usurpation, of the rights of those Staten, or a further grant of power by those States. No intents! or domestic regulation of those states, no matter how much it may affect them, can limit or extend the original right derived by Congress over the District. CoMkuNICATIoNo. For the Star & Banner. Ilemw Clay's Speech. MR. Eorron:--Well, "the Great Pacifica tor" has been trying to put himself at the head of another movement! Having sacri ficed principle'after principle upon the altar of his ambition,it is not at all wonderful that despair of attaining his objects in any other way should impel him to this laststip. Never has the hibtory of politics in this coentry, ex hibited an instance of more shameful ingrat itude. Henry Clay, though supported with unshaken firmness by the Whigs of the North and West, has repeatedly betrayed their principles and interests in the vain hope of conciliating Southern favor. It was so in his Missouri- , compromise, it was so in his Tariffcompromise,and it is so in the present attempt to make an Anti-Slavery compro mise. Let us examine his hiatory,even ac cording to his own showing, upon this last question. In the prime of his life, in the palmiest days of his intellectual and moral vigor,before he had been blinded by interest or seduced by ambition, he clearly saw the enormities of Slavery and was convinced that it was the duty of the whole co 'ntry to clear its skirts of this sin, but that it was _more particularly of vital importance to the West ern and Southwestern states to throw off this incubus which threatened to crush them with its hateful weight. Accordingly ho raised his voice, in Kentucky, against this system of oppression and robbery,and endeavored to have the Constitution of that state so altered that its statute books might be purified of the odious enactments upon this subject with which they were burthened. We may easily imagine the zeal and eloquence with which he would then posh the matter, fur he was just at that time of his life when, according to the well known saying of that veteran politician and hoary corrupter,Walpole,men are naturally inclined "to act the patriot." But the measure was defeated by a majorit) large, but not decisive, for still larger ones ire almost every year changed. But here Mr. Clay soon began to show the prominent trait of his character—to adopt 'halfway measures. Fora while he seems to have lain upon his oara,waiting for the turn of the tide. Instead of such a turn, however, came the storm raised by the Missouri question. Here was an opportunity for Mr. Clay to show his conviction as to the injurious tendency and deep wrong of Slavery. Here he had . the power to free a eta% just coming into exis tence from the foul curse, and to make pro vision for rearing up a hardy race of freemen. Aye, here was the time and place for dealing a death blow at this hissing hydra, and puri fying the atmosphere of his whole country from its pestileifial breath. For if Congress had then recorded its solemn testimony a gainst this moat dangerous ingredient of our social and political institutions, not only would its progress have been arrested, but measures would undoubtedly have been ta ken in all the original slave holding states to free themselves of an institution thus bran ded with infamy, and every where regarded as at war with our religious and political principles. It cannot be denied that this was the view 3f this subject taken by our revolutionary fathers, and even by the fra mers of the present U. S. Constitution But Henry Clay was either too short sighted to see this, or had too little magnanimity to act in accordance with principles so elevated. Contrary therefore, to his own convictions as expressed in his effirts for Abolition in his own state, contrary to the earnest entreaties and Unanswerable arguments of his Northefn and Western friends—he used his influence —raised his voice—deposited his vote in op position to free principles and in favor of the admission of Missouri into the Union. It is true he glazed this act over by fair names, called it a "pacificetion," talked of circum scribing the existence of slavery by degrees of latitude and longitude, (as though what Is right south of "Mason nud Dixon's line" is wrong North of it!) But ho had done a deed the baneful consequences of which cannot be calculated. Yet his conscience was man ifestly ill at ease all this time, for the next thing we see him doing in reference to this matter is connected with a colony for free negroes on the coast of Africa! Oh! how eloquently he then sprite about the wrongs of the injured negroes! how anxious he be came to free this country from its greatest curse, and to restore to weeping Africa her long lamented sons! But look at his consis tency! Nut a single slave of his has the fet ter taken from his heel—not a single "mis sionary" (so he calls the emigrants in one of his speeches) is sent from his plantation to Liberia. But passing over all that might be said upon this matter we come down to the present position of Mr. Clay in reference to Anti Slavery movements, as manifested in his late speech against the Abolitionists. It might have been expected that Mr. Clay, having avowed himself opposed to slavery,would be disposed to look with favor upon the efforts of those who aimed at its extinction, and that if he could not assist, lie would, at I. ast, not oppose them- Bur, as has been often remarked, the progress of crime is downward,and his is a case in point. It was not enough to apostutise, he must be come, like other npostates, the most violent enemy of the cause ho has forsaken. •Yet we must do him the justice !o say, that we do not think be has been brought to this without considerable reluctance. But causes have long been at work, the effect of which I no one, however sliehtly acquainted with their victim, could fail to foresee. The party with which Mr. C. has been coonected,nfler various &Teats and checks, is getting the ascendency. If united in his favor they can easily elevate him into the Presidential ehnir. But one portion of this party has determined to fasten perpetual slavery—slavery both in practice and theory upon the nation. They are determined in order to secure this end, to disfranchise, us far as in them lies, every one who dares to oppose the Moloch of their idolatry. Of course they will have nothing to do with a politician who is tainted with the suspicion of lie Abolition heresy. Of this Mr. C. has been fully informed, his enemies have charged him with ''unsoundness in faith" as to the excellency of"the patriarchal institution," and his friends in that quarter, have just as strenuously asserted his ortho doxy. Still the party must have a pledge, equal to that given by his antagonist, Mr. Van Buren, to his friends. Here we may easily suppose the struggle that would take place in his bosom if it has not yet become entirely callous. He remembers his better days and his better principles—how can he say that those principles he once held so sacred aro to be abandoned? That what was once so holy is abominable? Why must ho again repeat the oath of abjuration? But further, ho knows that the great mass of his friends in the North and West entertain the principles and are rapidly coming into the measures of the Abolitionists. How can he satisfy them and retain their confidence?— Now for a master-stroke of policy! He will give the North compliments, and the South concessions. He cien:es Congress the right of touching slavery in the District and Ter ritories, but swill observe all the forms of courtesy to those who demand action in the _matter, whilst at the same time he denies that they. have a right to open their lips on the subject. But let us see how he presents these sen timents in his oracular speech delivered in the Senate of the U. States on the 7th inst. TIIIITH. For the Star 4 Banner. Mn. Enrrort—l avai.ecl myself of the invitation extended "to tho citizens of Gettysburg, and its vicinity," to attend the Anniversary Celebration of tho Phronakosmian Society of Pennsylvania College, on Friday evening last—and it would be doing injustice to the flourishing Institution with which it is connected—much more to the Society itself were the occasion permitted to pass unnoticed. This public notice of the anniversary of this So ciety is deemed the more justifiable, since an an nual Visitor has again made his mysterious appear ance and published an extract from his Journal of 3S—„ It is not necessary to enter into any of the minu tia as to the neatness of arrangement or length of the procession. &c. &c. neither to throw "soft solider" into any body's face— suffice it to say that a vast concourse of people, including the congre gated beauty of the county, was in attendance, among whom there were "of travellers not a few." The address of O. F. JOHNSTON, Esq. which we understand will be published; needs not our com ment. That of the active member was creditable in the highest degree to its author—and tended to fasten more closely upon the minds of our citizens, the claims of this Literary Association, (whose representative he was) upon their good wishes and patronage. The music was such as we rarely hear —highly creditable to its performers and entertain ing to the audience. This Society has again nobly and honorably, sustained its established and deser vedly high character. May it !Ong continue to rise and flourish, the pride of the Institution that fosters it—the organ of useful, and pleasant com munication with our citizens—and the fountain to which many will repair—drink deep—and come forth with their "minds beautified and adorned." A CITIZEN. FOR Till GETTYSBURG STAR A stricture on "Aristophane&" Ma. EDITOR :—ln my last communication I promised you, that the next should contain a his.. tory of Socrates. It was my intention to comply with that promise, until tho appearance of a COM mupication over the signature of “Aristophanerr," and the peculiar circumstances of its origin, in. duced me to devote my few leisure, moments to its notice. I intend to be very brief in my stric ture on "Aristophanea," for I think it would be a manifest, and unjustifiable waste of time to bestow much attention to such a senseless farina of idi. otk nonsense. I did ray in my first communicg tton, that I would notice no communication unless it purported to come from 10111 C of the fair them selves; but as I have always looked upon "Aria. traphanes," es one of those, who has not good sense enough to know, that. he ought long since have been clothed in the habilimeniz of a vveman, i can do so, without involving myself in any con tradictions. I do not wish you to understand, that I notice the communication of "Aristophenes," for any merit it penitents, nor because I think,that unno ticed it would at all be prejudicial to Socrates—for whatever may be the odium attached to him, or the "contempt" which the first Socrates "elicited," it cannot possibly exceed that, which the puerile three week effusion of "Aristophines" has ex cited. J have other reasons of a more powerful nature; which I will now give you. First—l know it is very galling to aspirants for literary fame, to see their productions sink unnoticed, and untrumpeted into merited oblivion. To save .-Aristophenes" this withering mortification,l have consented to notice his publication, and I shall do so, in as flattering a manner as conscience will permit. Secondly— I wish to clear my way of all the rubbish, before I proceed to give my history to the world; and as this little vermin has crossed my path, I will just hit it a kick, and send the lit tle thing howling, hack into its shell, which it has certainly left a little to soon. It is to be regretted, that Socrates ever made his appearance, or at least, at tho time in which he did, for then this sapient knight of the "quill," might have enjoyed the benefits of the nursery a little longer, and perhaps, been a little better qualified to assume the charac ter of a comic writer. As it is, I fear, that he, like his prototype of old, when be attacked the venerable character of Socrates, will be, if not de spised, at least severely ridiculed. But "Aria. tophanes" says, the ~ o nce honored name of Soc rates." So then, the name of this celebrated Ore. cian sage—the admiration of the whole world has lost all its deserved celebrity, and is honored no more ! This is a new discovery, well worthy the profound attainments of "A ristophanee." Let us now say something ,about the origin of this profound production. The author, being an exclusive friend to the fair sex, undoubtedly, felt himself highly aggrieved at the wicked attack of Socrates on the ladies—his sympathies are excited —indignation swells his heaving breast—he do termined to go forth in his own might, and vindi cate the female character from slanderous misrep. resentation—he toils hard for three weeks by day and by night—forces nature—commits violence on all the dictionaries in use—orothicee sentence after sentence, say one "perilisin and what, after all this intellectual labor, came to light 1 Why gentle reader, I am not able to answer this question ! I have no name for it. It is a perfect nondescript. But if you wish to see it, and judge for yourself, just look in the columns of the last Star, and you may -be gratified with a wonder in the literary world. I can only say, that it was brought into existence by "Aristophanes" of the nineteenth century. What the author intended it fur, is equally marvellous with me. Was it in tended for sarcasm, irony or reason 1 It certainly is neither, and consequently is but rational to sup pose, it was intended for something else. What this is lam really at a loss to know. Perhaps, after all he intended it for real, keen—cutting sar casm. The weak and pitiable efforts attempted through Out the whole piece at sarcasm, would al most leai a person to this conclusion. But if it really be sarcasm, it lies so deep as to be perfectly harmless, and consequently wounds its author more than any others. If I were to give my opinion, it would be, that the author intended it for asrcasm, but that in its passage through his, confused cranium, it merged iuto bombastic non sense. eAristophanes" tells you, be will not coritiot , scend to notice the arguments which Socrates has advanced. How modest ! Why not have corn. mon honesty enough to acknowledge at once, without any circumlocution, that nature in mould. mg him has been treacherous, and left him totally incapacited to distinguish one argument from a. nother. If he wishes to advocate the cause of the ladies, I can see no reason why, be should not, at least, try to refute arguments which have been urged against them ; unless it be on account of natural deficiency. Does he think to draw upon him their smiles and approbation, by puerile vitu peration against those, who have tried to injure them, It cannot be so. I should judge that they would like to see their cause defended by truth and argument. They cannot but pity an effort so weak and contemptible in their favor, even though it profess to come from one, feigning to be their friend and protector. For the confort of the ladies, I would say, that although I did contend, the female mind, in general was inferior to the male, yet I did not mean to say, that all, who stalk over creation in the form of its lords, ate their superiors. If I had, the appearance of eAristophanes" would bavo made me blush and abandon the argument. Indeed, as it was, when I first saw the communication of eArisiophanes," and knew, that it was the production of one, who bears the form of a man, I felt much disposed eto go on all-fours." But, perhaps, I am doing eAristophartes" injustice. It may be, that' his sympathies were so mightily wrought upon, and his devotion to the fair sex so genuine, that be re solved to lay himself a sacrifice on the altar of in. jured womankind—to show to the world, that Socrates has been mistaken, by giving the knaw ings of his puny intellect to the public. If he were a fair specimen of male intellect, I should despair of offering a single argument against the intellectual equality of woman. I would recall all I said, tack about, and become a strenuous ad vocate in their favor ; for I would bo unwilling to admit, that any lady, with whom I have the plea sure of being acquainted, is inferior in intellect to "Ariatophanes." If it be true, that he was willing to sacrifice himsell for the benefit of the fair, he certainly deserves their compassion, and I would advise them t.. provide themselves with an extra. indispernibk, of the most luxurionslind, for the better accomodation of his mqiesty, when he sees proper to honor them wnh his royal presence. There aro but very few intelligible sentences in the whole communication of 4i Aristophanes," The middle of his ef f usion is a complete medley of senseless jargon. Broomstick., knights, scis sors, ambrosial locks, quixote, law, right', &c., are all mingled together, in such coat:mien, that he might as well have given us his communication in the Chinese language. He talks a great deal abouyaw—process—etcetera. He hes evidently trial to leave us under the impression, that he knows something about these things, I will not say anything positively to the contrary ; but if I am not much mistaken, he is one of those, who is trying in vain to fill a cranium, with the noble science of law, which was never made to hold. such sterling worth. If so, the terms of ttis science un. meaning, no doubt, to- him, like— "Mom:rains of whimsies, heapt in his own brain, - Stumbling from thought to thought, fall headlong down—" . aro fluttering about in his confused imagination, and not knowing what use to make of tbem,he in troduced them without any sensible connection,into his attack on Socrates, to induce the public to be lieve him to be a man of legal science. Now jf he really be such 4 one of twq things must be very op- parent. Ho must either eo far transcend his fester-1 nity in natural abilities and attainments, or ber so , far inferior to them, as to be perfectly incomprchen sible, even to those who have drank deep at this , noble fountain. Why did not oAriitophanes" company his publication with a commentary? Her h ie most assuredly acted a very selfish part—for none rave his own favored self (if he does and he• certainly ought,) is able to comprehend, and ap preciate the beauties of his genius. Or is ...Aris tophones," one of those peculiary fortunate be ings, who by auperiur natural onrionmentrr, in per mitted to juxu tilde in a region for beyond the ordi. nary nature of things—even in the region o f,, corn _ ets." If so, his good sense ought to teach him,that he should occasionally, at least, when he appears in the columns of a newspaper, come down from his lofty habitation, and yet not be so deeply "bur ned in legal science," as to make himself intelligi• ble to the common order of mind. • The communication of "Arieitophenes" is cer tainly very ungentlemanly throughout. It evinces the possession of a spirit, by no means enviable. Ho has evidently tried hard to make the matter as personal as possinle,for reasons best known to him self, but not entirely unknown to others. His in dignation was Po great, that even you Mr. Editor did not escape his envenomed, but powerless shaft; but unfortunately,like all his other thrusts,it missed •its aim, and wounded himself only. He,as a pom pous dictator.takes upon himself the impudence to give you directions in the management of your pa per, and tells you to fill it, with the "sayings and doings of wise men in congress." I presume the boundless vanity of oAriatophanes," led him to think whilst penning hi■ furious attack on Socra tes, that he had already been transferred to the le. gislotive . halls of our country, and that whilst your readers were perusing his commnnication,they had the "sayings and doings" of "Aristophanes"— the wise, in Congress.

THE foregoing statement exhibits not only the dividends of State appropria tion for theffth Common School year (1839,) payable on or after the first Monday of June, 1S:31, when that year commences, to all the districts in the county,but also those for the let, 2d, 3d and 4'h school years,(viz: L 835, 1836,1837 and 1839,)n0w due to such districts as have either not accepted or not yet applied in the proper man ner for their money. The whole amount of State appropriation yet due for each district since the first year of the system, is exhibited in the last column. The State appropriation for 1835 or the first school year, was 875,000; for 1830, or the 'wood, 865,00; for 18 1 37, or the third, $200,000; for 1039, or the fourth and pre sent school year, 8700,000, (including the Building Fund of $500,000;)and for 1839, or the fifth, it will be 8200,000, if the law remains unaltered, but if the Legislature and 8100,000, it will be 8300,000; making an agregate given by the State since the corn mencement of the system of $1,250,000 without, or 81,250,000 with the expected in creased. Undr•awn dividends of the two first years' appropriaLon are to be received from the Comity Treasury. The dividopds of subsequent years are payable by the State Treasurer on application to the Superintendent. The following is the form of the necessary certificate,which should be forwarded to the Superintendent, in every caso, as soon as the fact will justify it: '•t District Tax for 183 (Date) 71) the Superintendent of Common Schools : "Ste-1 do horeby certify that a School Tax amounting to dollars cents, ha. "been regularly levied and assessed for the School year 183 , upon district county; "that a warrant for the collection thereof hav boon delivered to t h e district Collector according to law; "end that the aforesaid sum is at least equal to this district's annual Sham of the State appropriation. "1 do further certify that of Post Office, county, is the lawfully appointed "Treasurer of this District. "Attest, Secretary, President. Post Office, county. ----Post thrico,---oounty” By the next mail after the receipt of the foregoing certificate at this department, a warrant on the State Treasurer for the appropriation of the current year, will be sent to the District Treasurer, together with similar warrants for all undrawn dividends of for mer years, remaining in the State Treasury. To obtain the latter no additional tax is necessary, on that one tax, fir the current year, equal to the District's share of the ordi• nary annual State appropriation (8200,000) will be sufficient .to enable it to receive all dividends of former undrawn appropriations. As soon as a District, previoutly non accepting, accepts the system and receives its money from the State Treasury, it is therebfentitled to all money remaining for its use in the County Treasury, provided it accepts before the let of November, 1838. In that case it is the' duty of the County Treasurer to pay over such money forthwith to the Di strict Treasurer, on the order of the Board of Directors. The best proof of such accei. once and of the receipt of the money from the State Treasurer, is the circular which tic compainies the warrnnt of the Superintendent, on the production of which the County Treasurer will be perfectly safe in paying over the dividends in his hands. Jicceptance of the Common School system, under the present laws, can only take place by a vote of a majority of such citizens of each non•accepting District, as assemble on the day of electing Directors, being in most cases the third Friday in March. The citi- Leas then assembled have two acts to perform, let. to elect Di-ectors,which most be done whether the system is to be put in operation or not; and 2d. to &aide the question wheth er the system shall be accepted or not. This last question is only to be submitted in such Districts as previously rejected the system, but not in necep.ing, districts, and may ho decided in the affirmative by a mere majority of the votes polled.—See the 13th Section of the Common School Law of 1836. Harrisburg, February 1I , 1 n 9. By the filth paragraph of the tenth section of the act to consolidate and amend the several acts relative toe general system of education by common schools, passed the 13th June,ll3:lo. the Superintendent of Common Schools is directed annually, in the month of February, to transmit to the commissioners of each county, a statement of the amount every district therein that has, and every district that has not adopted the Corn. men School system, may be entitled to receive out of the annual appropriation of two hundred thousand ollars, and the commissioners shall immedidtely cause such state ment tO be published three times, in one or more newspapers printed in said county.

That if the commissioners of any county shall neglect to forward such certifieatee, on or before' said day, the Superintendent may, in that case, adopt the number of tax ,;) es set forth in the next preceding certificate or return. You perceive that there will be some difficulty this veer, in carrying into effect thrt.tie provisions, as the enumeration to be returned on the first day of April i. to he the basis of distribution, while the Seporintendant is to furnish the statement' of the amount to which each district is entitled in the month of February. It is impossible, et this time, to conjecture the proportion of the t rn hundred thetti-! and dollars, to which each district will he entitled. When the number taxable, is aa certained by the enumeration to be returned on the first of April next, the proportion will be reduced according to the increase of taxables. As the main object of furnishing this statement in the month of February, is to give notice to the districts of the amount of tax they are required to assess in order to entitle them to the State appropriation; and as the reduction in this sum, arising from the additional number of taxables, will not be great, it is considered that a publication of the statement - furnished to you by the Super intendent, in February, 1939, will substantially comply with the law. You will, therefore, republish that statement during the preset month, for the information of the districts, and inform them that it contains the amount, to which thoy are entitled, of the two hun dred thousand dollars fur the present year. am constrained to uroe upon you the necessity of furnishing the exact number of taxables in each of the districts in your county, agreeably to the above recited section, lissom' as practicable,and not delay the matter longer than the first of April. You per ceive by the concluding part of the section, that if this return is net made in time, the taxable. in the preceding return :ire to be adopted, by which your county will be de prived, for the year, of the State appropriation to the additionri taxables in the respec tive districts, granted by the eleventh section of the act of 12th April, 183 S, which ' makes the amount of the State appropriation equal to one dollar for eacq taxable citizen.
