morality and crime. There is natural truth enough in this proposition, to carry conviction to the minds of the most skeptical, and it can safely be treated as an axiom, the eliect of this potent agency, is to ilevelope the intellect, to elevate the moral faculties, to raise man a bove the animal creation, and fashion him alter his Maker. lam aware that I can be pointed to instances of the perpetration of the greatest crimes by persons ot education. But exceptions to a general rule rather strengthen than weaken it# force. Besides, there may be intellect with out conscience, and when 1 speak ot education in this connection, I have reference to thejjuai ities of the heart, as well as I hose ot the head. 1 certainly cannot be mistaken in the belief that, were society to take entire charge and control of the destitute and vagrant youth that are found in our cities and larger towns, and to send them to school, the effect would be to lessen materi ally the aggregate of juvenile delinquency. Hut we are not left to theory and speculation alone to maintain t jxisition. There are stubborn facts in the Injury of the past, which may be relied upon as.evifence of its truth. The New York Prison dSßriation for the year 18.)0, say that examination into the causes of crime, leads them to this result , that neglected education is the prolific cause of most of the crime amongst its. Of 7'12 convicts at Auburn, hi7 were nev "T- instructed in any tiade or calling: .771 were intemperate ; 488 had received no moral instruc tion, and 512 had never read the Bible, or at tended Divine worship. , The Secretary ot the Stale of Massachusetts reports th£ whole number ol committals to Pri sons and Hkuses of Correction, tor the year 1857, at 17,927, nf whom about one-half could neither read nor write. The limy. Win. D. Kelley, in an address delivered at the opening of the th r branch of this institution, in 1849, presented statistics de monstrating that a large proportion of the con victs in the Criminal Courts,;and of the delin quents assigned to the House of Refuge, were very deficient in the rudiments ot an education. In Great Britain, in 1849, in a report exhi biting the degree of education, amongst the criminals of that year, it is stated that out ol 41,989 offenders, 31,740 were males, and 10,- 849 were females. Of the former, 8,484 could read and write, 3,000 could read only, and 12,- 151 could neither read nor write, and of the remaining 9,878, no information could be ob tained. Of the females, 975 could nad and write, 1,500 could read, and 5,877 were total ly ignorant. The Minister of Justice in France, in his an nua! report of 1849, says; That out of the whole uumhr then in the Department of the Seine, 3,355 could neither read nor write, and 328 were to some degree persons of education. A comparison of the condition of Spain with that of England, indicates most clearly the al liance between ignorance and crime. The peo ple of the latter escape the scourge of crime, in about the ratio that they stand in advance of the former in the work ol education. The statistics of Scotland and Ireland, furnish unmistakable evidence to sustain tlie saine \ iew. And in the criminal statistics of France, as compared with Prussia, the same striking fact is observed—the latter possessing the highest de gree of education, and exhibiting the smallest per centage of crime. The same condition ol things exists in other parts ol Europe, but no where is tlie fact more apparant than in a com parison between Hie criminal statistics of Great Britain and those of'the United States, deduct ing from the latter the convicts who are not citizens ot the country, The natural proclivity ol ignorance and sup erstition to vice and crime is abundantly evinc ed in other and less civilized parts of the world: and in their history the fact is attested, that a hi - frighted intellect and distorted moral perceptions are found the fruitful sources oi cruelty and crime. The hi story ol'Tartary, Hindoostan, Benin, and other petty states of Africa: of New Zealand and the Sandwich Islands, and the Islands of Ihe Soul it Pacific, prior to tin ir moral transformation, is replete with testimony to sustain the position. The destruction of infants, the drowning of aged parents, the ottering of human beings in sacri fice, the barl>aroils tortures inflicted on the van quished in battle, are the fearful consequences of moral obliquity and human depravitv. It is to ignorance, and its natural offspring superstition, that the vices and barbarities of the ancient pa gan world are to be rnainlv attributed. And if we turn our eves to the actuai state of society around us, we shall find the same causes operat ing. Who are most frequently engaged in brawling and debauchery ? In,the commission of theft arUTother petty offences ? In rioting, turbulence, ami disorder ? Are they not, lor the most part, the rude, the ignorant, the untu tored—those whose moral instruction has been sadly neglected, by their parents and guardians, and whose wayward inclinations have led them to turn a deaf ear to the voice of wisdom and truth ?- But it is scarcely necessary to pursue this idea further. Enough has been presented 1 > show the transcendent importance of general education to any people. I hold it -as amongst the highest duties ol government to provide lor the education of the people, and especially for the poor and helpless "who have a claim lourid e<! in nature." Nowhere is this obligation more sacred or imperative, than in a government like ours, whose very iouodatiora rest upon popular will, and whose stability and efficiency depend upon the virtue and intelligence of the people. True political economy not less than moral ob ligation indicates this dutv. A distinguished philanthropist of Europe said : "It were wise to give pence to infant sciiooh, and thereby save pounds in the expenses ot jails, bridewells, tread mills, transportations, and executions." "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," is a saving as true ot social and moral as of phy sical diseases. A wise economist has said : Take care of the pence, and the pounds will take care ot tlu'ins'lves;" and it may as truly be said, let government take care of the young, a:;d when the young become ol ! they will take care of the government. This will be placing the axe at the root of the evil. in conclusion, let us dedicate this magnifi cent structure, so complete in all its arrange ments and spacious in its departments, to the great work of mercy and justice, for which it r>as bryn reared, it is the natural result of that euiarg.-J item rosily and comprehensive hem-va lence, vviiich has at limes -o distirtijuishfd the people of Philadelphia. In its object and intent —-in it s ilf'VfMlilfl to tile good of ethers, v\v have an apt ilia .'.ration of the humane aad beuevo!.

A home, a achool, a guardian ana mam tor the parartless and destitute, who may sin, from the force of their unhappy condition. A master and rod ot cor rection for (lie wayward, the vicious and re fractory. Within its spacious apartments let all such he gathered, not to be punished and disgraced as criminals, and then returned to their old associations to repeat their offences; but to be cured if possible nf moral pollution: to be instructed in the rudiments of education; in lessons of virtue and truth: to be trained to ha bits of industry and obedience; to be made "wiser and better," ami thenceforth to go abroad into the world, shielded by the benign princi ples thus imbibed, and taking their positions in society as useful and honorable members, bear ing willing and emphatic testimony to the mer its of this chai ity. What a gigantic, work ! It were enough to startle the most sanguine, and yet I am free fo predict for the Refuge, a brilliant triumph in tiie accomplishment of the task. It was tlie proud boast of the Romans that, "whilst the coliseum stands, Rome shall stand." The thought was vain, for "Time's effacing fin ger" ever points to the fallacy of human ex pectations. The humbled piideand departed -grandeur of the once mistress of the world ate a fitting commentary upon worldly am bition. But in the benign principles of your institution you have the grounds of a rational, a far more religious belief, that, long after the proud structure vou have erected shall have crumbled to dust, the results of its practical and genuine benevolence will remain your most fit ting monument, and, through all coming time, exercise a healthy influence upon the peace and welfare ol your beloved city and common wealth.

The law, a- amend, d. provides that "the Managers of the House of Relume shall receive under their care and guardianship, in fants under the age ol twenty-one rears, committed i to their custody lv two J :i.lies, the President Judge being one, of the f'onit of Common Pleas of any County in the Eastern Di.-t-ict of Pennsylvania (which said District shall embrace all the counties oi'the Commonwealth, from which infants canuot lie sent to the 'House of Refuge id Western Pennsylva nia, 7 ) except the County of Philadelphia, in which said infant resides or may be found, on complaint j and due proof made to them by the parent, guardian, ! or next friend of such infant, that such infant is im- j manageable, and beyond the control of the complain ant, and that the future wellare of said infant re-; quires that such infant should he placed under the j care and guardianship of tb > said Manager* of the House of Refuge : or when said complaint and due proof shall be made by the prosecuting officer of the County, that said infant is unmanageable, or a va grant, and has no parent or guardian capable and willing to restrain, manage, and take proper care of : such infant." And it further provides that "the said Judges shall ; carefully examine the complaint made to them in the j pre.-ence ol the complainant and infant complained j of, and for the purpose of bringing the parties and , witnesses before tliern, shall be fully adtiiorizeil to j use such process of trie Court as may be necessary ; I and where the said Judges shall adjudge an infant to be a proper subject lor the care and guardianship of the said Managers of the House oflleluge. they shall, in addition to their adjudication, transmit to the said Managers the testimony taken before them, on which their adjudication was founded, and the said testimo ny shall be taken under oath or affirmation of the witnesses, and in the presence of the party complain ed ot." f>v the above-named change in the law, it will be perceived that the opporiumty is now afforded for tiye commitment of subjects without a trial by jury, from any county of our State from which infants cannot he sent to tlie 'House ol Refuge of Western Pennsylva nia,' at Pittsburg. Heretofore, this right of commit ment without a trial has been confined to Philadel phia County, and consequently a large prnortion of the inmates have been received from ibis county. Rut it is confidently believed by the committee, that in future a large number of subjects will annually be received from other sertions of the State, and hence they deem it of great importance that the nature ol the institution, anil its proper sphere of operation, should be generally known throughout the State : ami for the purpose of disseminating correct informa tion on the-;- topics, they here present a few very brief remarks in relation thereto. The House of Refuge is a Manual Libnn ■ Jlrfonn designed for the reformation of juvenile de linquents ; it is tint a prison for the punishment of of fenders ; hence, the earlier in his career of delinquen cy, ami the younger in years, that a subject is com mitted to the institution, the more effective is its dis ciplinary training likely to be. Ami, to avoid vexatious mistakes, the committee would further state that the institution is nut de signed for an nssyhun for the irnbeci e or the maim ed, nor for a hospital for tic weak ami sickly, nor yet to supplant the almshouse : but sun ply /or t/'tc re l'or,,ml ton nf /ttv> niit 'lt'l in ''it'll /*.

CHAMBERS, of Philadelphia, delivered an Address on Temperance in tbe Pic-s'hy terian Church, in this place, on last Tuesday eve ning, which was listened to with marked attention and interest. We have heard a great many Temperance speech- j es, but we never heaid any 11 un who handled this ; subject as well as the Ui:v. gentleman alluded to, and we regret that he could not have been heard by ; every man and woman in the county. Whilst his' style is clear, easy, forcible, and eloquent, his lan-j giuge is moderate, chaste, and convincing ; and, un- j like most tempeiuncc Lecturers, he gives c'aaractrr to the cause he so ardently es; ruses by the amis<inn ol all vulgar phrases and dish-water anecdotes. He portrays the general•*vils of intemperance, without making those low personal allusions which so often render temperance meeting, a men fa/re, and he L evidently opposed to hanging the cause of Temperance : to the slirlr of lite political parlies uj' the 'lay, as some : indiscreet men are trying to do. He wants it to stand upon its own merits. In the course of his add re-s, ; the liev. gentleman took occasion to say, incidental ly, in alluding to the "Know* Nothing"' order which has recently ,-prung into existence, thai lie desired j to have no association or co ion with this "SE CRET SWORN COMBUfATION," a sentiment' which will find a hearty re-pSfi-e in the bosom of every correct ir.ind in tbe Common wealth, whether Democrat or Whig. One of the great misfortunes of the age is*, that too : many "Ki.ow Nothings" have undertaken to tinier the Temperance cause, and hence it is not an unusual thing to see speakers addressing empty benches, and , pas-ing resolutions by the same kind of dumih voters,! as T*l VI.K* SENTIMENT! Jf the people were satisjiul that gentlemen of the ability and can .'or of Dr. | CHAM HERS would address them, when Temperance meetings are called, all classes and conditions of mankind would throng the place, and iisten with re spectful attention. OOV. Sialics*'* A<!dress. OH/ 7 We have read with great pleasure and with profit the Address delivered by Gov. Rm- LUK at tlm opening for the reception ol inmates of the new Department of the House of Refuge for Juvenile Delinquents, n: Philadelphia, which we lay before our readers, entire, this week.— We invite for it an attentive perusal. It is alike creditable to the- mind and the heart of the author. Of the many vast changes physical, social, and moral, which the last half century has un folded, hv no means the least ] tent in its bear ings on the temporal and eternal welfare of man kind, has been the tearing down to a very* great extent at least, of tbe sanguinary and vindictive criminal codes of the eighteenth century—codes which consigned men to Dot any Ray or Cay enne for tiie larceny of a'pocket handkerchief, and lunched them into eternity for the theft of a sheep—codes which crowded, promiscuously, offenders of every grade, offenders, sometimes, whose only* sins were imprudence and folly, ol fenders, oftentimes, whom misery and want had driven into crime, into dark, damp, narrow, loathsome dungeons, in idleness and tilth, in sickness of body and of soul, unheeded, un cared for, except by brutal jailors, as cruel, as blood thirsty, as the codes of which they Were the ministers. However the speculative writers of the last century may have recognized the principle that the real object of punishment is the prevention of crime, and not the torturing of the prisoner, it was ieit for the nineteenth century, and quote particularly for the American Republic of the nineteenth century, to manifest a (nil, living, realization of that truth. And. in the van ic guard of this Reform has marched, and yet mar- I cites, PENNSYLVANIA. The alleviation of human misery and the ■re formation of the criminal is an object worthy ot the good and the wist . The de\ ising a prison discipline involving the least possible amount of unnecessary suffering and misery is worthy the Philanthropist and the Statesman, and mode!

Resolved, That the people of every State and Ter ritory, in this country, have the soul ai d sovereign right to regulate their own domestic institutions, and that the attempt by the people of other States and Territories, or by their representatives iri Congress, to hind them, in any ease whatever, is an usurpation of man's inalienable right of self-government, and should be resisted; that the principles of non-inter vention and local self-government, emb< lied in what are known as the Compromise measures of lb-70, and applied by the late act lor the organization of Ne braska and Kansas, deserve and shall receive our cordial and united support. WitKKF.As, among the h \vs on which Pennsylva nia was founded, it was enacted, "That al! persons living in the province, who confess and acknowledge the one almighty and eternal God to be the Creator, Upholder, and Rtiier ol the World, and that hold them selves obliged in conscience to live peaceably and justly in civil society, shall in no ways he molested or prejudiced for th"ir religious persuasion or prac tice, in matters of faith and worship ; " and by the Rill of Rights of thi State.it is declared that "No; person who acknowledges the being of a find, and a future state 0! rewards and punishments, shall, 011 account of his religious sentiments, be disqualified to hold anyg office or place of trust or prolil under the Commonwealth," therefore, Resolved, That the principles established by the founder of the late province, and which the people ol this State have solemnly declared shall fores er re main inviolate, are essentia! to the security of civil and religious liberty, that they have fostered peace, charity, and good will among men, and that the ends of civil society and religion itself have been prornot- ! ed and cherished by their just observance.

It is from a wife in Massachu setts to her husband in California. She doesn't in tend to go through the world with an air as if "Molded drums were heating. Funeral marches to the grave." Here is the letter:— "My Hear Husband : —As it is some time since you left us for California, I suppose you would be glad to hear how we are getting along in your ab sence. !am happy to say that we are all enjoying very good health on the whole, .lust at present two of the boys have got the small poXj_ Amanda Jane has got the typhus fever, Betsey is down with the measles, Samuel got hooked by the cow the other day, and little l'eter has just chopped oil seven of his lingers with the hatchet. a great mercy fhat iie didn't chop them all off.

A iri|>i>lcd ffi'ggar, in a large city, was striving to pick up some old clothes tout iiad been thrown liuu irom a window, when a crowd of rude boys gathered about him, mimickttnr his awkward movements, ami Looting at his help lessness and rags. Presently a noble little iei low came op, and pushing through tiie crowd, helped tile pour crippled man to pick up his gills', and pfaced them in a bundle. 1 ben slip ping a piece ol silver into his hand, he was running away, when a voice lar übov- iiuu said, "Little i>oy Willi a straw hat look up." He did so; ami a lady, leaning Irom an upper vv iudow, said earnestly, '-God bless You, u.v little fellow—God will bless you lor "that."— The lady was the wife ot a man so distinguished among tne great men ol tins world, that every one ot these boys would have been proud to ob tain her approbation, and when she wrote down his name, as one she wished to remember, he lelt more than paid lor all that he had done.— As lie walked along, he thought how glad he had made his own heart by doing good. He thought of l lie poor beggar's gratelul look; then of the lady's smile, and her words of approval, atid last, but better than all, he could hear his Heavenly Father whispering, "Blessed are the merciful lor they shall obtain mercy." Little reader, w hen you have an opportunity to do good, and feel tempted to- neglect it, re member "the little boy with the straw hat." SUPPOSED TRACES or ARRISO.N.—We learn ed from a gentleman just arrived from Chicago that a person, answering in many respects the description of Arrison, the supposed murderer of Mr. anil Mrs. Allison, was arrested in jj (a place on Monday night la?'., hut from s , cause or other not explained he was allowed i„ depart. • l ite person arrr'sted had arrived on the even ing train, when the\cars were immediately hoarded h_v tiie officer* of that city.

Those who imagine they see a split in the Democratic party, should keep their lingers out of the crack, or they will he very apt to caught, as tite five Indians did, who had lak*-n a while man prisoner. He promised logo with them peaceably if'they would hr.-t help him split a log he was driving a wedge into. Thev all clapped their tinge::, into the crack and pulle:! each way, when the white man knocked the wi ige out and "had them all." A few disappointed officer-seekers are tryine to drive aw - Ige into the Democratic party, and split if. If our Whig friends can find a per cepti'de crack yet, we advise them to ber.au tiotts about putting their fingers into it. Th" wedge will soon be knocked out. The Demo cratic party is too tough and well seasoned to be split: and those who try to do it will net succeed. It is the party of the people, and of the constitution, and it must not be destroyed.— Pitts. Post. From the Bermuda Advertiser, July ■!.
