The of tlio building, four-in number, are well constructed for vcnttktion, and tastefully prepared. Tcgultrity and neatness characterise ihe arrangements and exercises of the There arc about 300 pupils in the near tho center nnd the two district school houses at the cast and west of the village.

They arc all under the'general supervision of Mr. De Wolf, aided by five female instructors, Misses Fox, Farr, Barrett, Hitchcock and De WoTf. Thc-excrciscs ofthe school are ar- ranged- with, systematic order, and the several branches pursued, are thoroughly taught. The correct pronunciation and meaning of oil words employed in recitations, the most careful attention from the teachers, and the pupils by constant examinations in the rules ond definitions are made thoroughly versed in the studies through which they pass. The motto ofthe School is not, "How much," but "How tccll" At intervals the pupils are called upon to recite maxims and sentences, arranged in numerical order, which while they afford a valuable discipline to the memory, convey i a and useful lessons to the heart.

There is no confusion in the movements of the classes, and no whispers or disturbing sounds to be during their studies. All are arranged with entire symmetry, and the exercises move on harmoniously together like of well regulated is pleasure in witnessing the progress of an orderly school. Children nre naturally fond of order, and will form and retain the habit, under suitable direction, with surprising readiness. The instructors of the Norwalk School are all well qualified and devoted to their business, and the zeal constantly evinced by the teachers, is correspondingly mauifiested by the pupils in the prosecution of their studies. All are diligently employed, and seem to be enlisted ith interest and pleasure in their several duties.

The hopes of those who have united in forwarding the Union system here, have been fully realized in the progress of the school i far. To the zeal and praise worthy exertions of the Hon. S. T. Worcester and of bis excellent and accomplished lady, i the co-operation of a few othcis, our citizens are indebted for the marked i exhibited in our public schools i the last eighteen monilis.

Under the operation of the sys'tcm which has now been successfully introduced, i the sympathies nnd efforts of all in tis support, it will soon become an i blessing to ihe place. Parents and friends of education in our midst should visit the Union school frequently. They will receive every courtesy from the tenchors, and will derive pleasure in a i the progress of the new system. Their presence will also prove beneficial to llie school, by accustoming the pupils lo public recitations, ond inciting them to greaicr diligence in their studies. We trust that the Union school, its present auspices, will be regarded with interest by all our citizens.

Bounty Land Law. This law is now in operation, granting to the officers anil soldiers Last War with England, the I i a Wars and tlie War with Mexico, or to the widows and children of those deceased; 160 a- for 12 months service, 80 acres for -months, and 40 acres for not less than 1 inonlh. Applications for Bounty Lands should be addressed to the Secretary of -the Interior or the Commissioner of Pcn- fiions. By order President, the Company and Regimental Rolls now in the Auditor's office, will be published, and together with all necessary forms for applicants, will be sent to every Clerk's office in the United States. Those interest ed, by-waiting a little, will soon be able to examine the published rolls, and if they find their names upon them, can make their own application by the forms which they will find in the Clerk's office of each County.

The soldier will only have to prove his identity, the i her marriage, and the heir bis right to inherit. The widow must be unmarried at the date of her application. The required proo having been sent, a land warrant will be returned, which may be located by the warrantee or his heirs at any land office in the United States, in one body; and upon the return of that to the Land office at Washington with evidence of its location, a patent will issue therefor. No claim to bounty land and no warrant can be sole or transferred. This is to prevent traffic in them by speculators, Whig gain IB Iowa.

Tho Whigs have maintained that tho Veto should never be exercised by the President except in cases where a manifest violation ol tho Constitution made it clearly and imper atively his duty; and that the President should not be guided merely by his opinions, as to the const ruction of certain elaus es of the Constitution, in determining what was unconstitutional, but that only in instances where iho law enacted by Congress, plainly conflicted with the LET TEiiofthat instrument, and no argumeni was required to prove its antagonism, it became the right and doty of the Presi dent to interpose bis Veto. The Locofo- co party, on the contrary, submit every law to the personal opinions of the Executive, both as to its constitutionality and expediency.

The Whigs have been in favor of a change of the Constitution which should either wholly divest the Executive of this power, or so limit it that it could only be exercised in extraordinary and express cases. In 1842, Henry Clay declared, as one of the cardinal measures of the Whig party, "A further restriction on the exercise of the Veto." In 1838, Gen. Taylor was elected to the Presidency by the Whig party, standing upon this platform, as defined in his Allison letter: The power given by the Constitution to the Executive, to interpose his veto, is a high conservative power; in my opinion should never lie exercised except in ca scs of clear violation of Ihe Constitution, or manifest Jutstc or want of consideration in Congress." "The personal "pinions i i i al who may happen to occupy the Executive chair, ought not to control tho action of Congress upon questions of domestic policy; nor ought his objections to be interposed where questions of Constitutional power have been settled by the various dc- nartments of Government, and acquiesced in by the pcojile." As laws i i questions of "domes- lie policy," the Texas Boundary bill, and the Territorial bill could not have been vetoed by President Fillrnore, without a violation of his own pledges and principles, and those of tho entire Whig party. These acts were riot in plain conflict with the letter of the Constitution, and although the President might have been convinced argument" that he gavo tho wrong construction to uny part of it, his opinions ormed on a would not have given him the i i a power to veto hem. I signing we have not, hereforc, condemned the President.

-Those were not acts of legislation by Congress, for they hud been discussed threadbare, through a long and tedious session. They embodied the deliberate udgment of Congress after the most care- ul investigation, and to have interposed lis opinions against have been an act of the grossest a i in conflict with tho spirit of our institutions, and dan- jcrous to the vital interests Repub- ic. But the Fugitive Slave law was an act passed tit the heol of the session, amid the i events and duties of its clos- ng hours, was rushed the Senate, almost i consideration, and was forced the House, the despotic power i question, i Jebate, and its provisions were not half apprehended by many of those who voted "or it. It was enacted "with manifest haste" and "want of consideration" by Congress. Again, it was in plain conflict i the letter of the i i a i away both the i of Trial by and of Habeas Corpus, i tho Constitution declares SHALL NOT nr.

SUSPENDED. The jurists of the i a remarkable un a i i have i in declaring the act unconstitutional, on its face, and i need of argument. The principles of the Whig creed, clearly held Fillrnore to the exercise of his Veto. The oath of his office which bound him "to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution," demanded it at his hnnds. By an article in the Whshinglon Republic, it appears that he doubted iho constitutionality of the net, and consulted the Attorney General, Orit- tcnden, who gave it as his opinion a it did not suspend the writ of Habeas Corpus, and did not, therefore, violate the Constitution.

Tho President sacrificed his doubts to the opinion of his Attorney General and signed the Bill. That ho committed an error in so doing, we believe; but that he gave his assent to anything else but the prima facie constitutionality of the law, we have no evidence. Tho provisions of the Bill were no doubt abhorrent to the views and feelings of Fillrnore, fo they must be to every one who is not steeped and thrice sodden in the iniquities of slavery. He yielded these convictions to a high sense of his constitutional obligation, founded, we believe, on a mistaken view of the real nature of the act. This is the belief of the mass of the Whigs of the North.

But this error ofjudgment by the President, has no comparison with the crime of head and heart, perpetrated by the Locofoco majority in Congress, in the enactment of this law. Free Soilers, remember, and consider the VOTE ON THE SLATE LAW. For the Law Northern Senate, 00 House, 3 Nortficrn Locot 37 Against ihe Law. Northern Whigs, 55 Northern Locos, only Consider, that every Locofoco from New England who voted, gave hit vote for the law. Why does the Experiment devote the ury of its denunciations to tho President, while the Locofoco majority who created and enacted the law, receive no further no- from ita indignant a a i of the eye and a tip i nose? Hamilton Tho course pursued by the Whigs of Hamilton, in the late election, was shameful violation of the pledges given by the delegates from that County in the Whig State Convention.

A heavy vote was promised from Hamilton for Johnston, and some even pledged a majority. When the Whigs of that county come into Convention again, we ought to have proof that they are Whigs. The Cincinnati Atlas thus notices the election: "The Democrats had everything pretty much their own way at the polls yesterday. The turn out among the Whigs was small. Of those who did goto the polls--many of them voted a fancy ticket: --not a few going for the regular Democratic nominees for county officers, and some that we heard of, voting for the regular Democratic ticket entire, County officers, Governor, and all.

The result is, that 'True Democracy' is pretty essentially used up, and the County returns again to the tender mercies of Old Hunkcrism." Personalities. The last Experiment denies the facts stated in our notice of the election in this County, and proceeds to prove its denial in a characteristic manner, by abusing us. We shall not descend to any personal altercation with Joseph, or retort the peson- alities which have graced his columns fo the last few weeks, against us. We treated him with courtesy while a Candidate for office, and under all circumstances, and we shall not be tempted by anything whicl he says, to take up the weapons of personal abuse. As to the facts alleged by us, they arc in the mouths of a hundred witnesses, and no protestations of ignorance on the port of the editor of the Experiment, will confute tho evidence of their own senses.

Beyond the article in the Experiment, to which wo alluded? we have not charged Joseph i being personally engaged in the electioneering frauds which we denounced, and we shall not therefore, dispute bis ignorance on the subject. We must express surprise, however, that while our neighbor in his article, professes to bo guided by the "monitor within," ho could deliberately state that we have resided in this county "only a little more than the requisite timo to constitute us a voter," when he was aware that we had been a resident of Norwalk for more thanjfee years, over three years of which time we had been employed as editor of the Reflector. As to tho chargu of "unpopularity," which Joseph so modestly prefers against us, we have not the modesty to discuss if. It is needless, as tho official table of the ute election is full evidence in our defence. True, the Experiment in its report of the 'official majorities, gave that of Auditor, error no doubt,) at just fifty less than the official figures, but we hardly i that "riond Joseph i be so cruel as to urge lis own mistake in proof of our "unpopu- arity." llui tin Van Itnren nominated for the Presidency.

The N. Y. Post states that at tho recent Locofoco State Convention, a resolution was adopted near its close, without debute, by a vote of 93 to 27, declaring That tins i do present the name of Martin Van Buren to the people, as tho Democratic candidate for the office of President United States, and a wo i sparo no honorable means to so- curc his election." The Kindcrhook fox, it appears, is not dead yet. Tho probability of the rcnom- nation of Caes by tho next Locofoco National Convention, has brought him out of his hole, and he may again set fire i his tail, to the corn fields of the Michigander. Detroit Slave Case.

The following report of the recent slave case in Detroit, to which wo a in our last number, is from the Detroit Advertiser. Rose vs. Rose. Before Samuel G. Watson, a U.

S. Commissioner at Detroit, Oct. 8, 1850. The a i a caused tho respondent to bo arrested warrant of the commissioner, as a fugitivo'sluve from Tennessee. A being lodged in Detroit jail one night, and guarded there by a company of troops, he was brought before the com- missoner.

The counsel for tho negro presented an affidavit duly sworn to by the former, stating that be was manumitted by deed of the present claimant for $700, which the latter had received for the same, and that the deed is now in the hands of the negro's friends in Cincinnati. On this affidavit the counsel for the prisoner moves that the case be continued until the deed of emancipation can be procured and used as evidence. The commissioner decides that the deed would be inadmissible if produced; that he has no power to inquire into nny defense the ne- gro may have against the claim, but only to determine whether the case presented on the part of the claimant is sufficient to entitle him to a certificate for tho removal of the negro. The matter however, is laid over by adjournment for several days and the negro remanded to jail. This construction of tho late we presume, strike many act persons will, with It absolutely a deed of emancipation! and enables fraud and perjury to snatch any person, white or black, from his home in a free state, and to transport him to the southern slave market.

First The remains old Liberty party of New York, with few delegates from four other States, met in National Convention at Oswego, recently, and nominated for President, Gerritl Smith, and for Vice President colored man, Samuel R. Ward. This is the first gun, and tho campaign of 1852 is now open. The norninationof Cass by the National Democracy is pretty certain to follow, and probably Corwin, Seward, or Scott, will be called on to decide the contest between Smith ond Cass. IrcUiJ.

Interest Law.

The last legislature passed law authorizing parties to contract for interest at ten per cent, per annum. This Inw, very justly in our opinion, is receiving the condemnation of the press nnd of ihe people, in a manner not to be misunderstood. It is, we think, the worst law, without exception, that has been enacted since our residence iu the Slate of Ohio--fifteen This law is purely of Locofoco origin. It was introduced into the Legislature by Senator Payne (Loco) of Cuyahoga in the Senate, ond was urged through the House by Gill (Loco) of the same County. After the passage law, Payne sent the following letter Cleveland Plain- dealer.

Fugitive Slave Corpis. li has been generally understood in the Free Stales, that the Fugitive Law, among other odious provisions, suspended ihe wril of Habeas Corpus. 'In the opinion of tLe U.

S. Attorney General, Mr. Crittenden, it does not, and we publish his opinion asdelivered lo the President before signing the bill. Il is of inleresi and importance at this lime. President Fillrnore did not recommend the Slave Bill.

Gen. Taylor did Neither were in favor of the measure. Mr. Fillmore had serious doubts of its consiiiaiion- aiity, and before signing the bill, took the opinion of the legal adviser of ihe President. He pronounced it constitutional.

As a Whig, and an exponent of the cardinal Whig doctrine, thai Ihe Veto power should not be ut.ed to defeat the deliberate action of Congress on mere questions of expediency, the President wrote "approved." The Fugitive Slave Bill did not originate with the Whigs North or Souih. It was a Democratic measure. It is so claimed by the Washington Union. Mr. Butler, a Democratic Senator from South Carolina, first introduced the measure, as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Before any decisive action was taken on Mr. Butler's proposition, the Committee of Thirteen presented their report, recom- mendeng ihe adoption of Mr. Butler's bili, with two amendments. The smash of the Omnibus all will recollect. Mr.

Web-ter, on the 3d of June, introduced a bill amendatory of the law of 1793. It provided for trial by jury. The bill was not decisively acted upon. Subsequently, Mr. Mason, Democrat, from Virginia, introduced a bill as a substitute for the proposition of Mr.

Butler, which was, after some modification, adopted by the Senate. The yeas and nays were noi called in the Senate on the final passage of the bill. The vote on the engrossment was the test. Not a Northern Whig vote was given for its engrossment. Three Northern Democrais voted aye.

Eight' Northern Whigs voted against it, and three Northern Democrats. Nine Northern Democrats, four Whigs, and two Freesoilers were absent. Mr. Ewing was absent from sickness, or his vole would have been recorded with the nays. The bill was taken up in the House Sept.

12th, and the Union says: ''Judge Thompson, of Pennsylvania, Chairman of ihe Judiciary Commiitee, ad- himself 10 hi- with the sagacity of a Statesman, and the spirit of a Patriot. He did not aueropi to divide the responsibility bj having the bill referred to the Judiciary Comm i but he came boldly forward, end took the responsibility of urging the pass.ige ol the bill without the unnecessary formality of a ref- encp. Considering the temper of the House, this was a bold and intrepid course, and Judge Thompson's services will be long: remembered by the great party to which he belongs. He vindicated ihe principles of the bill with marked ability, and it was promptly passed by a dec! ded majority." At the close of his speech, Mr. Thorapsoi moved ihe previous question.

It was sustainei ayes 87, nays 69. Mr. Whig, of Pa moved to lay the bill on the table. Lost, aye 07, nays 113. The main question was ihen put and the bill ordered to a i reading, yeas 105 nays 73.

On its final passage, the vote stooi yeas 109, nays 75. Of the 109, twenty-seven from the North wen Democrais, and but three Whigs. Fifty-om Whigs voted against the bill in the House, ant seventeen Democrats Such is a brief history of the odious bill, anc the manner by which it became a law.

Resolved, That we earnestly enjoin i upon the press and community at large, to "cry aloud and snare not" i i i a i r- i i mous a is wiped irom the records a people heretofore supposed to be free. Resolred, That the immediate repeal the law is called for on account of its pal pable unfairness, as well as its violation the plainest principle of natural right, anc the defiance it gives to those inestimable boons to the oppressed, the Habeas Cor pus and right of Trial by Jury.

Resolved, That we condemn the actioi of the President of the United States, in approving the law, when it was in his power to defeat it constitutionally, and tha wo condemn the action of those Rcpresnt- atives both in the Senate and in the, House by whose agency said bill was passed cither directly by voting for it, or indirect ly by neglecting to vote against it, and a we heartily approve the action of all those who opposed and voted against it. Resolved, That we recommend the passage of a resolution by the County Mass Meeting, to be held on the 20th of November next, protecting each and every citizen who may enroll his name with us, in opposing the Fugitive Slave Law, 1IRFOKT Of Hie Tkird Annual fair af the Huron and Erie t'lxmtitf Agricultural Society.

The Man with the Wheelbarrow," says hat paper, "who has been often noticed by emigrants who have seen him on his way across the plains, arrived at Coloma about a week ago. He' states that he got the California fever, nnd as he had not the means to purchase team, he loaded his wheelbarrow with 150 Ibs. of provisions, besides his cooking utensils and baggage, and started from the States on his long journey.

He was able to make greater headway than most of- tho teams, as he lost no time except for his meals and sleep.

He refuses to support the ticket, and urges all Barnburners throughout State to repudiate the foul concern. among such a throng, would have been very annoying, had been laid by the rain, Aud tho thousands of men, women aud children--the countless vehicles which had been put under contribution for tho occasion--tho display of prancing horses--nnd withal, the rows of gingerbread nnd cider tenders--and the cries of the Yankee Notion Auctioneers along the streets, all reminded us (abating the epaulette and martial music) of the equally exciting, but less useful days of Brigade Muster aud General Training. The number of persons upon the grounds have been variously estimated at from five to eight thousand.

And it was remarked by many persons who wero also in attendance at tho State Fair, that tho exhibition of Cattle and Sheep, though not so extensive in numbers, was not at all inferior iu quality to that of Cincinnati. During the forenoon of Friday, tlio Tent was appropriated exclusively to the Ladies, and those persons having articles on exhibition. In the Ladies' Department, the displaj- was very creditable, and far exceeded that of any former year; but wo hope to see this branch of our annual Fair become a fairer representative of the fair exhibitors. At 2 o'clock P. tho vast concourse was assembled under and around the Tent, to listen to tho Annual Address which was delivered by the Hon.

J. It. Osltorn. Wo regret that oveiy farmer present, on account of the throng, could not hear it. The prominent points, and which ho urged with much earnestness and force, was tho tho necessity to tho farmers of a thorough agricultural education, and tho utility of such exhibitions as County Fairs among them.

Tho great and ulterior object of these annual displays of Stock aud Agn'cultual Implements, is "an improvement of tho breed of farmers--of men." Among other things which added not a little to tho interest of tho occasion, was the presence of the celebrated Vocalists, the Baker Family, from Now Hampshire. Their greeting song before the Address, a real Yankee Farmers Song, was exceedingly happy. At tho close, was read tho Reports of the Various Awarding Committees, which are condensed in tho following list, and arranged in the order of tho Premiums as published before tho Fair, ond to which reference can bo made for the amounts.

Sawyer, es () We thiok Lenio'u Tree should rcceivo tho premium, if any bo awarded; but tlio circumstance of its huviujj beou reared for the two yearn out of tho county, induces us, according to iho rules of tho Society, to determine that no premium should be given toit. Among the others presented, wo BOO so little difference, that we beg leave to waive a decision. A number of Plants wero brought iu after 12 o'clock, tho hour at which this report was to bo made out--of these we took no particular notice. Tho Committee have decided that among the specimens of Fancy Noodle Work, a Cap. embroidered by Miss Sarah Catliu, of Norwalk, displayed the most skill.

The pattern was not particularly handsome; but tho work was equal to the Fre'nch work, of which it was a euccssful imitation. Two Crochet parses wrought Ly Miss Louisa Latimer rank next iu difficult workmanship They aro beautiful. Tho covering to a stuffed Rocking Chair (No. 1) in very neatly mode, and tho colors tastefully wrought and exhibited by Mrs. David M.

Bornuin. A Lamp Matt (No. by Mrs. N. Miller, of New London, we think superior to any of tho Matte presented.

It was wrought in Massachusetts, aud not within the year Another (No. 3) by Mrs. Skinner, of Milan, was very beautiful, but less ojtfllcult to execute. Two Skirts by Misses Laura Tiffl and Louisa Latimer, both very skillfully quilted. We could see but little difference between them.

Miss Tiffl's possibly may bo in a slight degree more closely They resemble very strikingly the far famed Marseilles quilts. Two pieced Bed Quilts by Miss Electa Chase, of Milan, aged 7 years, aro a credit to tho industry of the little girl. (We doubt the propriety of encouraging such young children to sit closely to sewing.) Two book-marks by Miss Mary L. Stewart, of Milan, handsomely oxomtcd. Three Tidies, by Mrs Spraguo, and one by a German Girl, in the employ of Platt Benedict, Esq.

were all quite creditable to the manufacturers. The Daguerrcan exhibition, by A. D. Wiles, of Milan, wo think praiseworthy. Among 15 or 20 likenesses exhibited, wo thought tho workmanship of a likeness of Jenny Lind, taken from a Steel Engraving, superior.

The same may bo said of a likeness of Rev. Mr. Taylor, of Milan. There was no competition in this branch of the Miscellaneous Department. Rcspeclfully submitted.

The steamer Crescent City, Capt.

The steamer Philadelphia arrived at on the 7th. The Crescent City brings 342 passengers, and one million in gold dust in the hands of passengers, and 822,000 in freights. From Bigelow has had his arm amputated and is doing well.

It is stated that on Wilson's Creek, in the mines, men are averaging one-half ounce a day, and lhat hands we hired to work at wages ranging from $6 to a day. On the Nortb Fork of Feather River men were a i fair wages. There had been some new discoveries made in Dry Diggings near the mouth of Battle Creek, which were averaging the miners from two to three ounces daily, and the gold is very coarse nnd bright. Henry M. Nagle has failed to a very large amount.

There lias been a hard run on the banking houses, but they all stood except Nagle. From Oregon. The advices from Oregon are to the 2d of September. Gov. Gaines ond family had arrived at Oregon city in good health.

The sloop of war Falmouth remained in the Columbia River. In relation to matters generally in Oregon the Pnciffc News Oregon we have encouraging accounts of prosperity. New towns ore springing up at every accessible point, and a commercial interest being awakened that is highly commendable. The frequency of communifation by steam between California and Oregon, strongly identifies their interests. We shall receive the lumber arid flour from our more Northern neighbors, and in return send them share of tho rich mineral treasures of California.
