Pni-:sIDI~:N'r ’I‘irI.1~:It AND THE VI-:'ro.—We
cannot but disser.t entirely from the course 0
President Tyler on the bank question, when we
consider that course in all its stages’; yet We are
not so entirely at antipodes with him in regard
-to the actjofdisapproving thelatebill,when that
disapproval is divested of its olwjectionableness of
manner, and the discrepency ofcliaracter which
the act gives to the president’s conduct.-—
" If his views have undergone no change, as he -
‘states, how easy it would have been for him to
havetleclared his determined and unwavering
hostility to a bank in his inaugural address.
He would then have been credited for coinpara-
altogether from the charge ofperfidy. Had he
thus made his setitiments known, it might have
caused disappointment to some. but there would
have been few hopes which he had cherished,
to blast and:destroy. _
Admitting what Mr. Tyler’s especial friends
claim, that a bank was not prominently at issue,
in the political struggle which elected him. he
knew full well that it wasfa favorite measure of
‘the Whig party, 5: was intimately blended with
their policy ; do we doubt notthat this considera-
adier in place of Gen. Scott, were confirmed on
Friday, while that (which should have been
first) of Hon. EDwAiu) EvI~;Ri«:'i"'r as Minister to
England, was not definitively acted on, but
would probably be rejected.

We have also been furnished with two other
relics ofolden time; The "Republican. Journal."
published at Danbury in 1799 by Douglas &
Nichols, and "compiled by Stiles Nichols,” and
another number ofthe“IndependcntRepublican,'
published in this town in 1802, neither of which
contain anything worthy of notice, unless we
except a list of letters in the Republican Journal,
published by Philip Bradley, Post Master’
at Ridgefield.

of feeling, his address was put forth to the people,
2 before been looked upon as somewhat vague and
, uncertain. His ear now became open to the
peculiar dogmas of the Virginia school, and evil
counsel induced him to retreat to the ground he
had before occupied, for there is little reason to
doubt his opposition previous to the Baltimore
Convention. This is the most charitable con-
struction that we can put upon the conduct ofthe

Tyler’s conduct at the convention. How are
we to account for his zealous support of Henry
Clay at that convention, knowing as he did the
opinions of that gentleman, not only on all the
. other great doctrines of the whig party, but the
bank question in particular? How could he
threw his weight into the scale and labor so as-
siduously, as it is admitted he did, to place Mr
Clayand his friends in possession of the execu-
tive branch ofthe government, when his convic-
tions told him that the very measure he had all
along looked upon with such holy horror—as
frouglit with the worst evils to the country, would
be the prominent one—of his administration!
How too, unless on the ground of change ofopin-
ion, both as it respects men and measures, shall
* we account for the character ofthe veto message,
characterised as it is by a spirit bordering on ma-
-lignity, and leveled at_the very man, for whom
but a short time before he felt such an exalted
regard that every eflort was made to procure his
elevation to the Presidensy ! If we acknowl-
edge Mr 'I‘yler’s sincerity in the firstinstance,
can we also admit it in the second, unless it be
as we have stated,on the ground of a change in
his opinions? ‘We do not hesitate to.allow,
that the compromise portion. of the bank bill
was entirely objectionable, but then did it call
for the vials "of wrath which were poured on the
head ofhim who was induced to adopt it in the
absence of something better’! There is some-
thing wrong in the conduct ofthe President,
which will tend very strongly to fasten upon
him either the charge of double dealing, or that
of instability and vacilation. neither of which
becomes the office of chief magistrate.
“Tilt: FAeMi:R’s JoURNAL.”—A friend some
time since gave us a number of this Journal,
published at Danbury in 1701, by Douglas
Ely. It is a little three column afiair, and a gen-
uine specimen of old fashioned typography.
The only matter of particular interest that we
notice, is the following scheme of a lottery for
“raising the wind” to erect the county buildings.
The Court House now standing at Fairfield
which our “ improvement" neighbors are so
anxious to supersede, is. we suppose. the build-
ing erected by the proceeds of this lottery.—
The advantages of "improt:emenl" Banks and
Post Notes were not as well understood in those
days as at the present. Legislative functions,
however, were as essential then as now.

Scc. 22 of the Connecticut School Law.
“Any two or more adjoining school dis-
tricts may associate together, and form a
union rlistvicl, with power to maintain it tin-
ion school to be kept for the benefit of the
older and more advanced children of such
districts, if the inhabitants of such districts
shall at legal meeting called for that pur-
pose, vote to form such union," ac.
We ought to have such a school in Norwalk.
Such a school is absolutely demanded to put
the children of the poor, with regard to educa-
tion, more nearly on an equality with the
children ofthe rich. We have a few wealthy
families among us who are able to send their
children abroad to be educated. I grant, it is a
shame to them to suffer such a state ofthings in
Norwalk. as to compel every one who would
give his children any thing beyond the tnerest
rudiments of learning, to send them out oftown
for it. It strikes me, that it is a penny-wise
and pound-foolish affair, for several families to
calculate upon sending one, two or three child-
ren abroad, at an annual expense of 2 or $300
per each child, for three or four years, when
by contributing halfthat amount they might
establish a better school at home, and confer a
benefit upon some hundreds of ottr youth who
would in after years rise up and call them
blessed. But I have no hope of any such en-
dowment ofan academy by the rich among us.
Ifthey had a heart to do it, they might do it as
well as not, and enjoy a richer satisfaction from
their wealth than I fear itwill ever be their
privilege to feel. But I have no hope ofany such
thing. Those who are able and who have any
‘common sense, will doubtless contrive to send
their chiltlren abroad for advantages superior to‘
those which can be furnished by the best con-
ducted primary school, so long as such advan-
tages cannot be furnished here. This may
answer for the rich. But what are we poor
working-men, who are blessed with numerous
families to do with our children? 1% must
band together. W7: must take advantage of the
excellent provision of the school law. I/Ve must
have a Union School, u-hich, with the aidof its
due share of the public money. shall bring within
the reach of all, the advantages of a school so
good, that no amount of wealth will enable our
neighbors to find a better one for their children
abroad. We must have it as they have it in
Boston; where the Governor himself cannot
do better for ‘his son than to send -him to the
school, where he must come in sturdy competi-
tion with the son of the poorest hod-carrier or
the humblest day-laborer in the city. It is
so now in our Primary schools. They are
.-g
chase for his children a better ; and they are so‘
cheap. that nobody-dis too poor to keep his children
in them as long ‘as he pleases. I want to see the
same thing done with a school ofa higher order.
And. depend ‘upon it, we can do it, and do it
just as well as to let it alone. For my part,
though I owe the boarding schools no grudge-—-I
would yet like to have such public schools estab-
lished in every village ofthe size of Norwalk,
that the occupation of the boarding schools
would be gone. At least, I would have it so
that no one in this place should send his chil-
dren to a boarding school, without doing worse
than he need to do. This is my idea of republi-
eanism. I need not stop to say what a glory
such a school woultl be to Old Norwalk. I need
not say what a shame and loss it is to be will)-
out one. -\Ve can have such aschool, if the
people say so, and, I repeat it, we can have it
just as well as to let it alone. There is not it
farriily in the place that may not be greatly ben-
efitted by such a school. To the rich, it will
be the saving ofthousands. and to the rest of us
it will be a greater benefit to ourchildren than
if we had millions to bestow upon them .'—a
benefit, which. without such a school, they are
not likely to receive. A Wortxixo MAN.

FURNACE.
T HIS article was constructed in consequence
ofa suggestion from the American Irtstitute
—-that a simple, portable, and low priced Fur-
nace was wanted by Farmers, for boiling and
steaming food, preparing maple sugar, &c., and
for many mechanical purposes.
It is so formed that a space from one to two
inches is left between the boiler and the casing
that surrounds it, causing the heat in its passage
to the pipe, to encircle all parts ofthe boiler even
to its upper edge.
The American Institute awarded a silver
medal at their late fair. I
A good, cheap, and durable boiler has long
been sought for by the farmer. -'
It will be readi-ly perceived that it hasimany
advantages over those set in brick. It takes
up but little room, is light, and may be placed
on the floor, and requires no foundation to sup-
port it, Besides being portable, it may be re-
moved from place to place, as occasion or con-
venience may require ; two men are sufiicient
to remove it. It can be made to boil full of veg-
etables in 30 minutes, and the second filling in
20 minutes. Another very importantconsidera-
tion, and which will go ‘far to recommend it is,
that it requires much less wood than one of the
same size and form set in brick. Although
wood may be plenty, it takes time and labor to
procure it,
Since the first introduction a simple appara-
tus for steaming has been made, which may be
used with the boiler. It consists of a large box
placed on a strong bench-—-along side the fur-
nace, a part ofthe bottom ofthe box, correspond-
ing in size and form with the top of thé boiler. is
filled with holes, the lid or cover is provided
with side pieces that shot over the sides of the
box when closed, and when open, serves asa
trough to slide the vegetables intoa tnashing tub.
’l‘o use the steamer. it is -merely necessary to
turn the box on to the caldr_on. which should be
about two thirds filled with water. The fur-
nace and boiler is well calculated for an ordi-
_n__a_ry washing boiler, the halfbarrel size is fitted
expressly for that purpose. S. & L. CURTIS.
