to find out the cause of this unusual call, and
the other ready to laugh and jeer at any mis-
fortune that might befall the scheme. Shouts
and huzzas, groans and cheers, rent the air.
The door was at length opened, andthe room
was filled in an instant.
The chairman at lengt_h opened the meet-
ing. and restored order. He explained the
object of assembling. Dux wanted more
money: the town was poor, had supplied
him with as much as they could spare;
and were determined that they ’d ‘see him
to Jericho’ before they would give him any
more. I He must however, have money or
they would in all probability lose whatthey
lisid already advanced : and he begged leave
of the honorable company the privilege of
r dingaletter, which had been received
thatday :
° To the Sclecliitcn of Pocahonlasville:’
‘ Gl7..\""n.i-tut-2N: I received your answer. to
day and don’t like it. I must and will have
more money. or else my name is V-Valker. If
I do u’i receive the sum I named by to-morrow,
I'll smash my balloon. and clear out with
what I've already got. ‘Yours,‘Ji-:ru:iu1.ur Dux.‘
‘ Now gentlemen,’ said the chairman, as
he concluded, ‘you see whaa pretty fix we’re
in. More money must be raised to keep
hiru in tow, or those who are interested in
his scheme must nbide the consequences-
that ’s all. Noiv. gentlemen, taking all
things into consideration—that we have no
surplus revenue—I have come to the con-
clusion to submit this proposition. Y oti are
aware that thanksgiving will lie filo“! In
about a month, and I therefore propose that
to Mr. Dux be granted the entire right to
vend pumpkins and squashes in this village.
from this time. until Christmas. Gentlemen
what say you? Shall I put it to vote ?—
Hesit:-ite riot; something must be done to
raise money, {or we 'i'e all ashore. Is the
motion seconded? ,
As the chairman ‘paused for a reply,’ one
simultaneous murmur ofindignation arose
from the assemblage. It was carrying the
joke rather too far. To be made to pay 21
tax for their anniversiry piiinplvns and
squashes, that was a thing no Yankee coiild
endure. All who listened to the worthy
selectvuan’s proposition were not slow in ex-
pressing their feelings upon the subject.
-Whore ’s Dux? Tar and feathers i’
cried one
‘ Ride him on a rail !’ shouted another.
‘ Hang him I’ said a third.
' Burn him!’ ‘ Shoot him !‘
‘ I move gentlemen,’ squealred a dimini~.-
tive tailor, ‘that Mr. Diix be indicted by
the grand jury for swiudling, and that——’
A roar of laughter, which at that moment
interrupted the spealrer, so abushed him, that
he was forced to close.
‘Bring Dux here and we ’ll try him!’
shouted one.
‘ Hoblis’s barn!’ echoed it deep sonorous
voice in the crowd.
Instantly the room was deserted. \Vith
loud menacing shouts they rushed to the
barn The door was locked. lo a twink-

they were so hostile to his objects about the

As to these securities I thought very llllltl

My Lord: I have taken the liberty to in
troducc to the honor of your acqu;iin’.'iiice.
my valued friend Col. M. Edwards, a highly
rcspecta ple and wealthy planter of Louisiana,
who visits England with the view of confer-
ring with H. M. Govt. on the subject of 200
African captives now illegally held as slaves
in Texas. Said Africans were. sold with an
estate to Col. Edwards, and irnposetl on him
as_“ bona./ide" slaves.
Subsequently learning their trtie claimsto
freedom, he with .'l magnanimity before un-
known, altemptetl their restoration to freedom
by stziitling yliiioi to an English Colony. but
was prevented fro:n so doing by the direct
interposition of the Gov’t. ofTu--xas. These
poor Africans have claims on H. M. G'rov’t.
and it is with the view of representing those
claims in their proper light that Col. Ed-
wards visits England.
Any service it may be in your Lordship’s
power to render Col. Edwards in promotion
of his most praiseivorthy object, will be prop-
erly appreciated.

A writer in the Gazette some weeks since,
while urging the propriety of establishing 8
union school. remarked that "a large number of
the children in ourschools are already sufficient-
ly adviintred to proceed to higher studies.” Now,
lpresumeto say, that if the wriierof that article
had taken the pains to examine particularly the
pupils in our schools. he would iioi have found
twenty in all the schools in Norwalk, who
iintlcrstootl tborotiglily. spelling, reading, wming
gcucrapliy. arithmetic anti grammar. all ofwhich
can be. and are quite as thoroughly taught in
our public schools, as in schools of a higher
subject, says—-"Ii is a shame that every one-
who would give his children any thing beyond
the nieresi rudiments ofan‘ education, should be
compelled to send them out of town to acquire
it. Are ine t- achers of our schools such a set of
ignoramuses that they are capable of teaching
noiliing but the merest rudiments of learoin g"!
If such is the case. let them be turned out ofour

I believe that those who are in favor .;«i"o.at.at:-
lishitig a union school, propose taking ii»; beg;
scliolars out ofuur common schnols and placing
them in such union school, Now cannot every
one see that such a measure would be directly
and materially injurious to our common schools!
When a teacher has had scholars under his tu-
i ion till he has got them fairly started in their
studies-—-when it is a pleasure rather than a
task to inslriicl them. if they are then to be re-
moved and placed under the instruction ofa!)-
