FOR PRESIDENT, H EN RY CLAY) r Ky.
In another column are to be found the pro. ceedings of the Franklin County Education Society at its late meeting; held at Fairfield The attendance was not numerous, but much zeal was displayed in the cause of education,
and a strong determination manifested to keep the meetings. Very few persons who are gaged in teaching, were present. We would ask, with all deference, if this important class in society should not manifest jnore interest in this association, the object of which is to improve their profession? We think they are of
an others most deeply interested. Of a number of "gentlemen who were invi
ted to attend and address the Society, not one
appeared, we would suggest to the Ex.Com.
the propriety of avoiding all these foreign in
flations, it some friend of the cause should attend, receive him politely and hear him attentively. But the great objects of such a s ciely are not to be attained by the mere hear
ing or speeches . Calm and rational discussion of the topics connected with education; reports of committees on subjects suggested by the society, are the proper means, and if addresses must be had, call on the members. In this way the society may be useful. May it prosper!

At one time we thought the feeling in favor of Mr. Clay so strong, and so universally admitted, that we expressed ourself unconditionally in his favor. Nor do we yet relinquishthe confident belief that he is the strongest man and the best man. But some of our friend
need a little re-assuring and we wish to see them all acting harmoniously with us, in the contest of 1814, And nothing will tend so effectually to inspire confidence and promote harmony, in the whig ranks, as the imprimatur ora respectable Convention to the claims of Mr. Clay.
i& our inends meet at Indianapolis, on the
I7tn proximo, prepared to choose delegates
irom Indiana, to a National Convention, to be

-"" "i an, wno are in anv degree interested in such matters, to the report
.ne committee on School " Houses, adopted at the late meeting of the Education Society of this county. AVe do not doubt that many useful hints are thrown out in this report which it would be well for the school officers, who have to superintend the erection of school houses, to consider. The committee deserve credit for the labor bestowed on this topic; if
wno are connected with this Society would display similar diligence we should have reason to be proud that such an association has been formed among us.

"Ve leellike complimenting the Republican (Cin.) for its late ablederence of the Bankrupt law, the repeal of which is now ao loudly threatened. We have not seen much to approve in this paper since it has become Tyleritd; but in the present instance we approve heartily of its notions. The intimation is eiv-
en in the Republican, as in some other quarters
that, should Congress repeal, Mr. Tyler will interpose his veto, We hope so; and shall then think better of Mr. Tyler and the Veto power. The law if defective should be amended, but a repeal we think improper.
Those who have held the opinion that Lewis Cast would answer for a whig President,
aw referred to a letter from that gentleman to Mahlon Dickerson, in which he partially defines his position. We conclude he will hardly -supplant Henry Clay in the esteem of the Whigs.

the impersonation of our political opinions. as
the man high above all others for whom thel
higs should vote in 1844: yet we would pre-!

My Dear Sir I have received your lettet of this day, and have no difficulty in giving a prompt an unequivocal answer to the questions yon present to me. I am a member of the democratic nartv. nnd

From the faith ns taught and received in his day, I have never swerved, a single instant. So much for my general sentiment.
