This principle is the American's as :t was the * Englishman's birthright. We can never yield j it, until we yield our liberties forever. It is a principle that was born in limes of war, ami was , reproduced in our own country among the fires of Revolution. It is a good principle in times ; of peace ; it is infinitely more valuable in limes ; like the present, when popular passions may at i any moment ruin the liberties of the cii— The principle isot little value—nay, ot no va!- j ue at all—if it is only good in cßtn and quiet j times, and in its |>lac itie d.jctiine is adopted j l hat in war times the Constitution, the rights, and immunities of citizens, may be overridden j by the officersol government tor the occasion. ; Such a doctrine lias been laid down in these j days, and the fruits of it have already been seen j m tf>e desecration of the Habeas Corpus, the j .-erzute and of pmate papers o! : peaceable citizens without warrant or process ; of law, the arrest ot citizens foi circulating j>e- ; tit ions to the government, the increase of the . regular army without law* (and without necess- ! ily, since volunteer forces would supply the , teinjKirary w ant,) not to name other nets ol in- j di\niu is holding offices which are of doubtful j legality. These violations of right are conce- , led on nil hands to be unconstitutional and i'.- j legal, but are excused as growing out of I lie ne- j cessities of the times ; and the popular assent to them not only indicates the danger ol perrnil *:tig th<but has led to liie open advocacy by newspapers, ot the doctrine that Congress shall pay no attention to the "technicalities of the j Constitution," but enact laws for the tones, j without regard to their limited powers. One j step more in the same direction, would bring us ; to the absolute tyranny of a Revolutionary j Committee. Ere v.e are aware, we may have j no Congress, r,o Executive of th" laws, no Con -ti'.utior.al G ivernment, but :n its place a Com- j ■niltee ot bai-ty, a Oinvrntiou of Democrat , - ifejrtiblican red or blacky—and the rest, ' is- j -ry has oncto. tw ice already recorded, d.

Ii is general ly admitted that it the States now forming the ■southern Confederacy had united in an express on ot theii desire to separate from the Ameri- j cm Union, and to form a government of tln ir ; .vn, this wish, properly expressed, would have - uuanded the respectful consideration o* the o ther states.

The principle • jo! the majority ruling, is not a principle ofiib ' j erty. The founders of our Constitution well , j knew that that naked idea was in fact a prtnci ! | f' !e °! tyrannous democracy and r. suiting anar- I chy. Hence the government was made one of . constitutions! checks . a power iv.-ilt irig t. ! i j consent of the people of" several Buries to ,*> t governed :•■■■ f jC* Constitution, an ; ..* • , | itself was to be administered jv a very uupfe j machinery, in which each division of I fie, —that !Q, each State, -rvtairu-v! . o .'tawj j part of the moving and the check it. : . .v, er. I'he consent to be thus governed, once giv i>, j could not be revoked. ■j He right •. /.- >iT jis untenable and inadmissible, ft receive; mo j countenance I'rom the Constitution. But V* j original principle that the power originated in ! consent, would compel all parties.piiociHe, ! to look with at least respectful regard on a de ! sire to withdraw the consent. And it' it could |be permitted without injury to the temamd- r, lit ought, on principle, to be allowed. TL • manner of asking the consent, which ha been j adopted by the Southern States, has been made I fhe reason in many minds for refu-:-r\ the corj jaatt. On no subject ia there a more genera! ihis ! apprehension than on tins. The most common farm ot expr- ss! *.n is, "i'liey should have pur i sued the constitutional course, and demanded a National Convent ion, and thus arrange;; a pcace able s*•cession. ' Bat the notion :& erroneous. | rng permrssron to at* cede 'I hi-; riocipders ab>*> j fiitely impregnable, that the Const.:'tit ion the f'oitetf States contains no provision by which. •>. State can be allowed to secede. b'vnvrii ; tion caiied ir. pursuance of. or under it, can . 21ant that consent which a seceding State needs. For a State, desiring to secede, to ask for a ,\j tional Convention to allow her io go. would I therefore be an absurdity. It would be very easy to say that a Conven- I (km could amend the Constitution so a; to u-,- ?*rt a cltme permitting secession in a certain j way. But that .ry necessity of an amend- ' j ment proves that th re is n opresent method of I getting the necessary consent ; and certainly no reasonable man w.iuld expect a State, dea ling to secede Soma C nst uiio- t to a coiivt nt ion •.nd amei d rU. * - j. , '• .'•••••#-"•• <• v-hsj, Mir- I very object was to disconnect S'.wlf rem its t..- ;' ligations. No person who shall fully examine this r J iitical problem, "Mow can a State secede from ne American Union?" can fail to arrive at the j conclusion that revolution is the only method. Any State d. iring to secede, must do so simply by declaring itself out A the bond, and being ready to sustain itself in its independence.— Ther" is no legal or cpnstilu'ionai way ol get-; ting out of the Union, any more than there was a legal way for American colonics to hive Eng lish rule. The Southern States, in their view nf the I rase, adopted the only course to reach the ob ject thev were ai:>.;ng at. They designed as. act which was revo'ulio try, and, proceeding S on that principle, th y declared their indepon ; dence of the Union, and sent commi -lone: - t > | negotiate the terms of good neighborhood, and 1 adjust the property questions involved. Seizures of propsri} - , mints, forts, aisenals I and the like, are acts which always accompa |ny a national rebellion or revolution. The I abstract right or wrong ot these acts relates [ back to the right or wrong of the rebellion, i In the present instance there is no occasion ito discuss thve acts; for,.if the principle should j eventually be conceded that we might to al ; low these States to elect the Government they | prefer, then the adjustment of the national j propeltv is a mere trifle. | The course taken by Ihe Seceding Stat • I then, h revolutionary. The right oft Gjv i ernment (having refused Its consent to the Se j cession) to regard the citizens of the Slates | insurrectionary, -eems unquestionable. The law of the United States, which the officers must execute, is co-extensive with the territory of the United Slates, and ••e-idaiice to tire ex ecution ot the law is msurrecti n. The stat- S utt.s have furnished the President with p-owet to FOppresa insurrections, and !:as I power to exalt the movement for .nppresmg ! revolt into the dignity of war. i From this view of the c. v.'. d it >nc | deduced the duty of the citia :i to sustain the j Government in carrying on the war, if tin* Government takes this coarse.

No. 5. Parents should furnish Teacher with proper material. A difference of material must , necessarily exist in our common schools. We cannot .expect a similarity of mind m our schools any more than can a community be supposed to exist, whose minds and whose ac > JHi ail coincide : yd there is oftrn improper material furnishe: to the teacher by the parent. The greatest error committed in this respect, is that ot sending children to school at too ear- Jy an age. Parents should remember that the •nod of 'he child is a very delicate piece of ■voi krnanship, and that it may be vtry easily overtasked and a permanent injury result from too early work. The tender shoot il it receive too much of heaven's dew, oecomes injured and remains forever dwarfed. Children may j J-. arn at a wry early age, but their learning j must not be from books,,for these are too dull | and tedious for them at that time. There are thousands ot wonderful things in this world ol | novelty to which their attention may be called, j and from which they may glean much more j knowledge than from works. Nature's works are not placed around us merely tor our physi cal comfort, i here is spread before us a vast field in which the mind not only ot the scholar, .'Ui of the child may feed. Let the curiosity c; the child '. e excited in regard to what he es hi nunc, him and enough is accomplished for a time when that curiosity is grafified. A iamenlable result ol this neglect of duty on : . ■ part it* parents is, that the mind of the t .pi. .. . c...",es too violently exercised and, con sequently, tired end somewhat weakened, so that wiien the child arrives at the proper age i•; iiorou study, its mind is no longer active, tcilure is almost inevitable; hence, also. ..lose who are ought and quick at an early age oecoine more or less deficient as they become older, if they attempt to study too earlv they must learn by iota. Nature is the best text the SC: ji-house should not oe made a nursery, no- th • school-teacher be made to act as nurse. KAPPA. TEACHERS' "CERTIFICATES- We notice with pleasure that airaDgements have been made by the State Superintendent for a regular system of examinations, and a uni form <tandard in the ovrtficates given by the su p -rinter.dents cf the different counties of the State. We have always looked upon the want of gradation of certificates as an evil that should j be remedied; and now that it has been constim malfd, we think it will work prodigies in bring ing about a better state of thir.gs'in educational matters. The grar.ling of permanent county certificates, to poisons properly qualified, and who come up to the standard iaid down by the Department, is, certainly, very right and proper. The want j of a proper criterion iri granting these certifi ; cates, has presented many difficulties to the j County Superintendents. In some counties j none were issued at all , while in others thev weie given to scores of persons, who would be wholly incompetent to fill the present require ments. In many instances the County Super • intendents were charged with being partial or ar bitrary, if they refused to give them to persons who considered themselves qualified to receive them. This will now be different. Persons who are applicants for the highest honors in the county, in the teacher's profession, will have to prepare themselves to stand a thorough examination in the blanches indicated by the [ Department. S. S. OIR COMMON SCHOOL^. It: y giv. the keys ol knowledge to the mass of the people I think it may with truth be said, that the branches of knowledge taught in our common schools, when taught in a finished, i siK.sterlv manner.—reading—in which I ui -1 elude the spelling cf our language a firm,sight j iy, legible hand-writing, and the elemental arts : ai fthflfteiic, —are oi gnater value than all the i rest which is taught in school. I am far from I saying t fiat nothing else can be taught in our district school*; but the young person who brings I ifivae f:oiri school can, himself, in his winter e j veiling*, range over the entire field of useful knowledge. Our common schools ar impor tant m the *.ine way is the common air, the common sunh i foe cotmung sain,—iovalua ' Ike for tiieir commonness. They are the corn er-stone o! that municipal organization which is the characteristic feature of our social system; they are she foundation of that wide spread in telligence, winch, lik< a inoial life, pervades the community From tlm humblest village school there may go : nth a teacher, who, like _ \. v'ton, shall bind his temples with the stars ol Oi ion's belt, with fferschel, light up his cell s wit!-, tl ams it before undiscovered planets, !- 1; F: anklin, grasp ttie lightning.— Everett.
