MAKE \VAY FOR OLD GREENVVICHI
At an adjourned meeting of the W'liigs in
Greeeiiv.-icli, lit-ld-at the School House in old
Greenwich, February 19, 18-10, TRON.-‘IS A.
Mead was called to the Chair, and P. D. DA-
vts was appointed Secretary. It was voted
that the proceedings of the last meeting be
adopted. '
The following resolutions were then offer-
ed, and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the efforts of our oppo'
nents to carry this town at the coming eh-c‘
tion, are well calcuhited to adinonisii us that
the time for action has arrived. \‘i"e know
our duty and will perform it.
Rosa/vcrl, Tliat the present is a crisisin
our nzitional affairs, which calls every lover
of liberty, of his country and of miinkind, to
‘hold and vigorous action; that the interest
arid cause of the farmer, the manufacturer
and the laboring man, are one and insepa ra-
ble ; the prosperity and triumph of the. VVliigs
will be the prosperity and triumph of the
whole.
Resolved, That the persevering efforts of
Martin Van Burcn to seize and hold the purse
of the sovereign people, thus uniting the
- urse with the sword, are dangerous to our
liberties and Republican institutions, and that
in resisting their further progress. we but
contend for the safety of our property, our
liberties and our country, which must and
shall be done by every honorable rrieans.
Resolved, That the charge John M. Niles,
that our triumphant and glorious victories in
this State were obtained by bribery and cor-
ruption is as base as it is slanderous, and that
his assertion that stubble land cannot be burn-
ed over again and again, will prove equally
false.
Resolved, That the continual diminution
of the Dost-rucli'ves, and the constantincrcase
of those of their opponents. show that honest
and intelligent men will not long be duped.
and should inspire confidence in the success
of Democratic Whig principlcs.
Resolved, That we will make a vigorous
effort, and use all honorable means to sustain
the Harrisburg nomination, and the nomina-
tion for State Officers made by the Convention
at“ Nevv I'1z1l't'l1.
_ Voted, That the proceedings of this meet-
ing be published in the Norwzilk Gazette.
, Voted, That this meeting adjourn to meet
at the Session Room, in Round Hill, March
—4th. for the purpose of hearing the report of
Delegates from the Young Men’s State Coti-
vention, and to transact any other business
that may come before said meeting. _

" The next day. at an early hour, I made
my debut as astudent at the institution, [meti-
tioned iii the last paper,] and being among
the first arrivals, I had full leisure to explore
the interior. and correct the errors of the
preceding day. Seating myself, therefore,.
in a corner of the room, I commenced my
7'econoiss.7.ncc. The heap of Sl.'.t\'CS Ifound
was nothing more or less than a huge wood
pile, which occupied aboutone-fourth of the
area of the room, and the noise which I ini-
agined was occasioned by the hooping of a
cask, was occasioned bythe falling ofa por-
tion of it on the floor, carrying with it, as I
was informed, some half score of little ur-
chins who were paraded near=—a_nd the shav-
ing horse was one ofthe four legged bench-
es, made from a slab of the same log which
furnished the boards for the outside. The
writing tables gave ocular demonstrations
that in one particular, at least, there had been
uniformity, viz: that each scholar was pro-
vided with a jack-knife, and the walls fully
testified to their aptncss at drawing. Troops
of children were constantly arriving, till ev-
ery nook and corner was filled, and every
family in the district was fairly represented.
The larger scholars were first seated, and
the smaller ones were dovetailed in between
them, endwisi: and cdgewise, till all seemed
one solid mass of animated nature, having
every thing in common but the organs of
speech. A space, however, was left in the
center, containing the master’s desk and chair
-and a small box stove. All eyes were now
directed to the door, which soon opened, and
the ‘terror of evil doers’ appeared, and while
I was devising ways and means by which
he might gain his appropriate place, a sin.
gle step carried him over a platoon of A B C
darians, and he stood bolt upright in the cen-
ter of the room. Silence was now observed.
Orders were given to supply the deficiencies
of glass in the windows with superfluous
g_arments——the stove was replenished with
fuiel-.-—a few unfortunate little urchins who
had arrived too late to obtain a seat were
mounted upon ,the‘wood pile. and every thing
indicated that t-he business of teaching was
about to commence_.
"The first reading class was now called.
but _the summons was not obeyed, al_tho_ugh
I could perceive an effort was made for the
purpose-nor was it till the order was reite-
rated again and again, that i‘. could be effect-
ed. A stout boy having, with very com-
mendable perseverancc, disengaged himself
fr m the mass, the rest of the class rose to
yjigirfcet with an agility which ‘evinced adie-
positipn to submit to lawful authority. Oth-
er classes followed in- succession, ‘in nearly
the same manner——but I couldnot fail to no
tico some advantages resulting from the
scarcity of room. The whole class rose
siiiiuliangously, :ill made their obeisance at
the same time, and all were agziin seated as
a unit. Arrangements were now made for
writing, and elbow room being absolutely
ncccssary in this department, extraordinary
exertions were made to obtain it. ' A part of
the writers were placed on the benches with
the smziller pupils, by placing them back to
brick, so that each ofthcin had a space just
six iiicaes in width to bestow himself, and a
boy to l".-acl; him. I.'I:tVlng been ejected from
my seat to await my turn, I doubled myself
up as well as I could and took my statioii_
with my knees about on a level with the top
of my head, directly in front of the stove, in
order, if possible, to recover a little from the
effects of a llOl'l.l}\\‘GSIt‘l', which had till now
been venting its fury upon me through the
dilapidated siding and plalstt-i'iiig. But the
stove which till now might as well have been
placed in the street, began to give some dem-
onstrations of throwing off its calorie, and
this soon increased to such an alarming de-
gree, that the station I had taken was not to
be envied. A broiling fire was now but a
few inches in front, :1 boy behind, on my
"right and left were two others wedged in so
closely that I could expect no relief in that
quarter——retreat was impossible-‘--to advance
equally so. My physiognomy had now as-
sumed the complexion of a boiled lobster-
my eyes seemed starting from their sockets;
my hands were already blistercd in futile at-
tempts to protect my nether limbs. and Ifan-.‘
cied I began to realize the horrors of being
burned alive. At this critical moment infor-
mation was given that the seat atthe writing
desk for which I was waiting was vacated,
and I lost no time in entering upon the pos-
session ol it. After writing came Geogra-
phy, Arithmetic, Grammar, &.c, in all of
which, diflicultirs were encountered and
overcome with as much facility as could be
expected from 60 or 70 scholars crowded and
jammed together like kidnapped Africans in
the hold ofa slave ship. A recess of a few
minutes, for recreation and exercise, was al-
lowed us. Our play ground was the public
liigliway, and many a boy who was washed
in the morning, now ‘ returned to his wal.
lowing in the mire,’ and when again sum-
moned to our studies, each returned with his
due proportion of mud and filth, ‘to be
brushed off when dry.’ The younger class
oflearners were now called successively to
the chair to repeat their lessons, to effect
which some were hoisted over the benches
andsome crawled under, and after the inqui-
ry whether each one had ‘said Iris lesson?"
was satisfactorily answered, school was dis-
missed.
“ The above imperfect picture of a single
half day’s work, will apply, with little vari-
ation, to months and years which I have
since spent at the saire school, in almost
fruitless efforts to obtain a comrnon school
education.
drawing to a close, and my humble circum-
stances, admonish me that I must soon apply
mysclfto some mechanical employment as a
means. of support. I shall go forth into the
world, fit only to associate with the ignorant
and degraded, and despite the munificence of
our noble State, and all the light and know-
ledge which has been pouring in upon us
from the tongues and pens of enlightened and
patriotic men—notwithstanding all my efforts
to avertit, Ishall be pointed at as a victim of
