Respectfully, Trustee. In response to the above application we append the following extract from -- An Act providing for the es tablishmcnt and sapport of Common School,'' passed by the Legislative Assembly, and approved January 19, 1S60: Sic 7 The Trustees shall provide a h:us suitable fcchool house or school and keep the same in repair, for winch purpose they are hereby empowered to and rolled annually a tax on all taxable property within their District, of one per not exceedinfr of : than more hon!d cent oue per cent, be needed per annum to build and repair school .houses, or for other school purposes, an estimate ofthe approximate cont thereof eb nil be made by the Trustees, end the rate may be increased to any enm not exceeding three per cent., as shall be decided by a s of the taxpayers vottote of for that purpose, called at a meeting ing whicn tax shall be levied npon the lax able property in the District; and by a niuilir vote a tax may be assessed and collected, of any sntn not exceeding one per cent per annum, to pay Teachers and furuit-- fuel, books,, maps and other suitable article for school purposes.

That we may not be misunderstood, we say here, our private opinion is that the State which enacts the laws, should phce wilhin the reach of all its citizens the power to became ac quainted with those law?; that the children of the poor should have eoual opportunities with the offspring of the rich to obtain an ordi nary education; that the grossest orms of crime are largely due to ig norance; and that the fostering of edu cation by the State is economical and ust,as well as charitable and humane But we do not consider it politic or right to tax a mixed community, in such a way that the great bulk of the people could only be able to send their children to the public schools, and then compel those children to hear and receive such instruction as - naif Rotlce.
