THE SCHOOL COMMISSIONER.

 We understand that systematic e. fort is being made by few WhIg mem bers of the Legislature, in concert with the entire locofoco strength in that body, to retain the present School Commission CT in office during another year. We regret exceedingly that any WhiS should esteem il his duty 10 engage in such a business. Every thing connected with our glorious School Fund is matter Of public interest and importance, and we trust the representatives of the people will not act on the subject without fully understanding the why and wherefore.'

 The desire which the Whigs of Litch~ field have long felt, and often urged, for the removal of Mir. Beers, does not in any sense refer 10 or affect his standing in this community as good citizen and neighbour, or as a gentleman et enter prize, ability, and integrity. In all these respects, so far as we known and believe, he is above suspicion. The grounds ct their wish ,ha, he may be rt moved, may be briefly stated

 l. That he has held the office nearly 25 years, and grown rich upon it; and on the democratic principle of rotation,' they may reasonably ask for his remo- val.

 9 That while thus holding the highest salaried office in the State, he has cons tlnued to use his time, talents, influence and money, for electoneering purposes. with view 10 prevent or overthrow the ascendancy of the Wings in the town and State.

 B. That while holding the office, he has so far indulged his party feelings as 70 permit himself to be run us the locofoco candidate for Governor.

 7 4. That by means of the wealth which the office has conferred upon him, and the influence which he is able to exer. over the mortgagors and tenants of the School Fund property, and other depen- dants, his political efforts have long been regard ed by the Wings of Lltchtield as peculiarly oppressive and disastrous to the success of their principles in the town.

 5. That while they acknowledge the abil ty and fidelity with which he has performed the duties of the office, they ut the same time believe there are fifty good Wings in Litchfeld county who would manage the affairs of the School Fund as we'll in every respect

 6. That our opponents have never practiced the leniency towards a Whig in office which has for years been exten- ded to Mr. Beers, but have been indis- eliminate and unsparing in their remov- aIs, whenever and wherever they have had the power.

 We trust our Whig friends in the Leg islature will learn one lesson of wisdom from their orponens-Viz , to escllew a timid and timc-serying policy,as destruc> tive to their political prosperity and the best interests of the State.
