The Loafer’s Lament.
There came to the levee a broken down loafer.
The beard on Ida black chin had long been unshorn,
For whiskey he sighed, but his spree was over,
His pockels werc empty —bis shinplastcrs gone—
But a grogshop attracted his eyes’sad.dcvotioo,
For he knew that, inspired with whiskey’s emotion,
lie had rolled on his floor like a snip in the ocean.
As he walked to the bar for a smaller of rum.
Sad is my fate, said the heart-broken loafer,
The dog and the tom-cat to shelter can flee,
Hut 1 aint got no coat, my poor carcass to cover,
And nobody cares a gin-toddy for me;
Never again, while, most.gloriously tight,
When the’stars wink their eyes and the moon shi
netli bright,
Can 1 take a sweet snooze on the levee at night— ;
Full of liquor and valor, untrammelled and free.
Whiskey, my loved one, though sad and forsaken,
In dreaitiq, to the bottle 1 joyfully come;
But alas! on a stall in fish market I waken,
With my hips and my throat just as dry ns a drum.
Oh, cruel fate! wilt thou never replace me ;,
In a grog-shop again, whre no constables chase
me; ' ’ .
When the “busters’’,-! once knew again will em
brace me,
• And call for more liquor to welcome mo homcl
Where is the tavern'that stood by the market,
Whore nine times a day for a julep I’d call, {
And we jolly souls all the evening would lark it?
•Busters and:friends,-ye have wept o’er its fall!
No "raore in that bar-room the jolly bbysmeet; -
No longer wo loafers each other may greet—
They pullcd llown llio tivem" to make a new

In sadness I saw them 'demolish-the wall.
Yet all its sad recollections suppressing,
tine wish, alone,my poor bosom will draw.
And bequeath to that kind soul a loafer’s last

Who will give me a julep to moisten my crew;
Then asleep on the stall, when my legs cease their

ADDRESS,
OF THE'DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE,
To the People of Pennsylvania,
NO. 4.
We proceed, fellow-citizens, to illustrate
the conduct of the late Federal Legislature,
and to explain their motives in passing cer
tain bills, which the Governor, as an honest
and upright man, was compelled to veto!
We will now refer to the bill relative to the
CHESTER COUNTY PRISON.
11l consequence of the iniquitous appor
tionment bill of I'BSB, the federalists had a
majority ofsix or seven last session in .the.
and two f |n_the Jlquse of Represen
tatives. The people cannot have ..forgotten!
tlf ?d b' :he fed-
Hie utter abhorrence expresses >j. the k
cralists, for months preceding the elections,
against asking for, or receiving office. They
were anxious only to REFORM ABUSES,
according to their own account! jßut no
sooner had knavery, debauchery, and acci
dent, given theni an ascendancy in both
branches of the Legislature, than
fool disclosed itself. Their first act'was to
remove every Democrat within their legis
lative reach, su.ch as clerks, sergeant-at
arms, &c. &c. This being,accomplished,
they next cast their eyes abroad for VIC
TIMS, and WERE SO KEEN-SIGHT
ED, AND SCENTED, AS TO LIGHT
UPON THE KEEPER OF, THE CHES
TER COUNTY PRISQNi a gentleman of
unblemished reputation, and ol great moral
worth.. .He was, ardemperat,- however, and
-hid'refused'lb
enemies of Itis political Ltith.' Ho hi|l with: .
stood the allurements' and sodii’ccmentsof)
the.times, mi. matter.whether approached' by
flattery, promises- of official favor, or pccu-!
niary reward. He" preferred being cast on
the veorld_pemiylcss. tonbaruloninghis,prin
ciples. and hence the reason why the feder
alists stooped from their high estate, TO
ENTER THE WALLS OF A LOATH
SOME PRISON TO GLUTTHEIR VEN
GEANCE. The Governor,.as a co-ordin-(
ate brrmch pfr..thejLegislatui;e r had a. right
and it was his duty to protect ail honest ci
tizen against the malice of his political,en
emies.. Had.he been governed, alone,' by
his se'nse of justice to an individual, or the
dictates of ordinary Immunity, his interpo
sition,'in our view, and in live view of every
•honest and benevolent man would hnve.becn
perfectly justifiable; Byit.tlie Governor, in
addition to his sense of justice and humani
ty, had other and unanswerable reasons for
exercising his constitutional prerogative,—
a prerogative, which none Gut tyrants on
those disposed to become tyrants, nave ever
I complained of. The wisdom of the,framers
of the constitution, in giving that power to
(he Executive never manifested itself more
distinctly than on the. various occasions
which gave rise to its exercise, during the
last' winter and spring. The federalists
thirsting for vengeance upon all who da
red to acknowledge that he was ever fainted
with democracy,.instead of “BETTERING
THE TIMES)” as they lavishlypromised,
occupied their, time, and 'devoted thefr at
tention, almost exclusively,- in searching for
the best latent inode of assailing and des
troying the character and standing of dem
ocrats, occupying high as .well as subordin
ate offices, and contriving' the most artful
way to fob.them, and their families, of the
means of subsistence. They were not only
dioposed, but they actually carried it into
execution, as far as their legislative action
could reach,-every kind of mean and extra,
contemptible persecution and proscription;
against the true disciples of the Jefferson
school of politics. We have said, and, wc
again say, it was the duty of the Executive
to arrest such tyrannical conduct. We ap
peal to every honest man, whether in the
present instance he transcended his duty.
The facts connected with the Chester co.
Prison, are briefly these: The act for' the
'management ami regulation of tho prison,,
passed on the Ist of February, 1839; and,
in consequence of the prison being unfinish
ed, did not go into operation, until 'April,
1840. Before sufficient time had elapsed to
give the system a fair trial, although not a
shadow, of dissatisfaction existed, or had
-been ■expressed, solar as the operations, of
Hieliiw had been tested, a change was sought.
By whom? THE PEOPLE? NO! for a
vast.inujority of all parlies-.were opposed to
any further legislation on the subject. By
the visitors of the prison, consisting of the
Deputy Attorney General, the Judges of (he
Courts,'the Grand Jurors; and the Commis
sioners? Not bv tJiem. On the contrary,
the Grand Jury in their report at the last
February term, declared unanimously their
satisfaction with the institution under exist
ing regulations.. In addition to this;in May
■last, since the Governor’s veto was placed
in thc~hands of, and read by every person’
interested in the nffairsof the prison, '-with
in the county of Chester, a’grand jury com
posed of men of all parties, have reported to
the Court their entire, satisfaction'," with the
regulation and management, and with.the
ufficers-bf the. prison.' 'By whom was the
repeal of the original,act ‘sought? Why, by
some one, two, or.three •person’s, whose in-,
satiable thirst for an office,’- let it bo ever so
small a one, contemplated the. change and.
prostration of-a system of prison discipline
proved by experience, in theMoyamensing
prison’, to be.'not only: wholesome,, but the
most economioaland suitable; yet devised,.
These inen : appealed to tlielr political asso
ciates' in- the legislature to aid them in. (heir
designs;'and they, regardlcss.of 1 the public
welfare,' lent a willing hand. •Theyoriginal
act gaveltf the COURT the appointment of
THREE; and the COMMISSIONERS of
the county TWO. of.thc Board'of Inspec
tors; The act vetoed by the Governor,, re
versed the matter. The Gourt was , to-mp
pbihtrtwdi'ahd, it|ie > Cpnimtisioners three.

Carlisle , P«. Thursday July 1, 1841.
a DEMOCIIAT. Vvould have been forthwith
removed. This was the governing, and o'n
ly motive for change. The politic good had
nothing to do with ,the matter. When the
original act passed. Judge Darlington was
on the bench. He had been re-appointed
by Governor Ritner, under peculiar circum
stances, in December, 1838. He died, and
Judge Belli a democrat; succeeded him.—
White Bell, and his associates remained on
the bench, there was no hope ofa change of
kecp.er. He had discharged the duties of
his office to the satisfaction of the official
visitors, and having a walk and conversa
tion void of offence, he could only be reach
ed, by a reckless federal legislature. He.
was saved from immolation by the Execu
tive,-who shrunkTrpm the heartless-task of
consigning him and his family to destruc
tion, when not a blemish or the semblance
of a fault attached to him, officially or other
wise. For a further illustration of this hon
est, upright, and patriotic exercise of Hie
veto power, we refer the reader to the mes
sage itself, to be found on the journal of the
House, page 729. If is only necessary to
give it a perusal, to be convinced of its un
answerable character. Out of flie county
of Chester, no man has a reasonable right to
complainof the course of the Executive, in
this particular matter. Within the. county
of Chester, public opinjon commends and
approves of the fearless and honest veto
which saved aTRISON AND ITS MAN
AGEMENT FROM BEING HURLED
INTO THE VORTEX OF I’OLITICS, to
gratify the aspirations of a fcw l hungry,o_fli_cc
THE CASE OF WILLIAM A.' SAIITIL,
. The .next caseto which wo call ybiiV at
tention, fellow citizens. Is ofa.pec.vil : iat s y.Ua-.:
racter. When we have briefly narrated the
circumstances which induced the 'Governin'
Ito-Avithhold-his--signature,-wo-belicv,c. you]
will agree with us that a' more flagitious.at
tempt was never made, by ex parte legisla
tion, to diVcst'a citizen of his rights arid
plunder him of his properly.
The bilTvetocd by the Governor bore the
plausible tillc.of.' 'Jlnucl for.chabling reli-.
giotts societies within this Commonwealth
to. purchase and~ .hold lands .for. burying
grounds and churches, AND FOR OTHER
I’U EPOSES.” To that part of the act re
lating to religions societies,-the governor had
not the slightest objection arid, made none.
Tie “FOR.OTHER PURPOSES,” howev
er, was a section which, when reported to
the House of Representatives, by the chair
man of the committee of estates and escheats
bore the title of "Jhi act to quiet the title to
certain lands granted for the use of Tfm. Ji.
Smith in tail mail-general '.” It was offer
ed and carried us an amendment to the act
first recited, and the federalists, with their
usual regard fur candor, in consequence of
the title, have attempted, to make you be
lieve, fellow citizens, that the Governor ve
toed abill having relation, exclusively,■ 'to
“RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES.” Such is
not the fact. In hisveto the Governor stales
that after the bill had been in his possession
he received a letter from William A. Smith,
Esq-of Cambria county, remonstrating a
gainst the 18th section of the proposcd-bill
becoming a law, the section that \yas em
braced in the words, “AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES” —and he then proceeds to as
sign his reasons fur returning it to the Sen
ate, in which it originated without liis sig
nature. It seems that Win. Smith, D. D.
conveyed to trustees certain Inndsin trust
fo;: his grandson, William R. Smith,and the
ELDEST MALE HEIR of his body, law
fully begotten. . William R. Smith and his
wife, afterwai'ds executed a deed to Thomas
Montgomery, with the intent of barring the
estate tail, or in other words, to deprive
William A. Smith, THE ELDEST MALE
HEIR, of all Interest in the lands in ques
tion, contrary to the intention of William
Smith the grantor. The deed was nut ac
knowledged, or if acknowledged, no entry
thereof was made, and therefore, defective;
and without any notice to Win.,A. Smith,a
law was passed confirming and making val
in the deed,,in like manner nnd with like
effect, as if it hndheen acknowledged, arid
an entry maife on the record of the Court of
Common Pleas/. The remonstrant William
A... Smith,-sels forth in his - remonstrance .to
the Governor, among other things, that “he
being the eldest son of William R. Smith,
(and of course life party most deeply inter
ested) was opposed tathe passage. of the bill;
and further,that up to the time of its pas
sage; he was unaware of the existence oftlie
deed of William Smith, conveying ii> trust
the property iri question to two trustees, or
that such an instrument.of writing had ever
been Recorded —nor .was lie aware of the ex
istence of a deed from Win’. R.. Smith and
wife; to Thomas Montgomery; and further,
that he never received any consideration for
the property thus deeded away without his
knowledge or.colrisent.”. ,
Under these circumstances the Governor
returned the bill to the senate; remarking,
that,“as the act may dispose of the whole"
question of; the title, in regard to the' lands
to-which it, refers, it'would be proper that
the parties whose rights ,are i to be' affected
by it should.be heard. ; Legislation fur cur
ing alleged defects in titje should, be atten
ded with great; caution and, upuii full notice'.
Injustice-may,be done by ex par/c enact
ments, and T; would,, respectfully suggest
whether hi all suoh cases as that for which,
• this cigiiteenthisection proposes to provide,
it would not be better tp/confcr ,"upon, the
Cmir.tspf Common Pleas of the proper coun

objcc.t to giving all the parties concerned .a

tribunal'before which to investigate the mat
ter, where and when both parties can have
an opportunity of examining and cross-ex
amining the witnesses? Who among ’you
will be. secure in your property, if a law of
this kind can be passed at the instance of a
lawyer, who happens to be a member of the
legislature, without notice and without n
chance to produce evidence of the validity
of title. If such conduct can be justified or:
tolerated-for an instant, there is an- end to
every thing like security to life or property.
William A. Smith who claims.to be the eld
est male heir of William R. Smith, resides
in Cambria county. It was an'easy matter,
ififairness and honesty, were, at thcboltom
of the transaction, to have consulted him.—
The presumption is, however, that all was
not fair, —all was not honest, —or he would
have been notified of the intention of the
party or parties to ’legislate him' out of his
rights and plunder him of his property —the
gift of his great grand-father. It was "well
known to all concerned in the stealthy leg
islation which took place, that* William Av
Smith resided in, and was . Prolhoniitary of
Cambria county. There is not a shadow of
excuse fur the attempt made to divest him
of liis property without notice; Ad there is
not a man in this wide world, whose con
ceptions of honesty remain untainted by the
tricks, interested men learned in the law,-

THE COAL.,' IRON AND OF
; - Thethree' -great' staple products .of' the"
Keystone State are her Coal and Iruntimes
and her Wheat. Some interesting statistics
with reference, to each of these were pre
sented at the Business Convention at Har
risburg in an excellent speech.by Mr, Hen-,
ry K-r Strong, of Schuylkill - comity;--from
which we compile the following -summary.
About one-fourth of the State, comprising
more than seven millions of acres, seated
mostly upon navigable waters leading to ten
States of- the Union, is one vast bituminous
coal-field, filled with lime and iron-stone,
and possessing as fine a soil as ever the sun
shone upon.- Anthracite Coal no other State
possesses, so that the whole Union must
purchase of Pennsylvania forever. Twenty
one years ago, when the trade first com
menced, only 365 tons were taken from the
Lehigh mines to market; there are now
mined more than one million of tons annu
ally. About 800,000. tons are sold to other
States, anil 200,000 consumed in Pennsyl
vania. In Great Britain about thirty mil
lion tons are mined annually, of which only
six hundred and twelve thousand two hun
dred and forty-five are exported to foreign
countries. In 1834, less than 4)000,000
tonswere used for fuel, and more than 25,-
000,000 tuns were consumed in driving the
machinery of manufactories. This is lhe’
true policy which Pennsylvania must imi
tate; a large portion of her coal and iron
must both be consumed in propelling her
own machinery, and driving her own cotton,
woollen and iron factories. ■ . ..-
■ The quantity of pig jron annually manu
factured in Pennsylvania is estimated at
100,000 tons, dr one-third of all that is
made in the; United Stales. It may be in
creased so as to ineet the demand of the
whole Union, though as yet the annual value
is estimated only $3,000,000,. The a
mount of pig iron”inade annually in Great
Britain is valued at .$28,000*000,-while’the
value given to it by manufacturing part of it
into her bar iron, hardware and cutlery, is
estimated at $90,000,000 more. Pennsyl
vania sends iron to the Northern States, and
one-fifth of it is returned to her in manufac
tured articles; she sends them coal and flour,,
and receives in.return cotton fabrics and ar
ticles that she ought to make herself.
The Census returns show that there were
raisedin Pennsylvania in 1839,' 12,029,756
bushels of wheat, one-sixth of all that is
raised jnjlhe. IJpion; the arinualvalue,w)ien
made into flour, may be estimated at $13,-
029,755. . England, Scotland arid Wales
.c0ntain.56,833,330 acres of land, of which
13,605,600 acrcsure arable, 20,408,400 pas
turage, 8,935,000 forests and gentlemen’s
parks,,and 12,885,330 incapable of cultiva
tiori. Pennsylvaniacqntains thirty millions
of acres of land, not more than three million
of which are incapable of being converted
into.tillage and pasturage. Arid yet Great
Britain.which in 1700, when her population
was mqjnly agricultural, produced only 14,-
000 bushels of wheat, in 1830, under, the
stimuluus of her manufactures, increased the
amount to one hundred arid thirty millions
—nearly twice as much as is. raised in the
whole United plates. Thus it will be'seen
that the value,of the grcat.staples of Penh
sylvnnia.is annually—of Coal, $5,000,000;
of .Iron,-$5,00(1,000; arid; of Wheat,
000,000—making an aggregate, of $23,000,-
000.—A’«t> York .Tribune.

i laid their burden softly on the pavement,—
] The light streamed on it through the”colored
i windows—a window where the boughs of
j trees were ever rustling in'the summer, and
where the birds sang sweetly all day long.
With every breath of air that stirred among
those branches in the sunshine, some tremb
ling, changing light, would'fall upon her
grave. Garth to earth, ashes tQ ashes, dust
to dust. Many a young hand dropped in
its little wreath, many a stilled sob was
heard. Some—and they were not a few—
knelt down. All were sincere and truthful
in their sorrow.
“The service done, the mourners stood
apart, and the villagers closed around to
look into the grave -before the pavement
stqneshould he re-placed. One called to
mind how he had seen her sitting on that,
very spot, and how her book had fallen on
her lap, and she was gazing with a pensive
I face upon, the sky. Another told, how he
had wondered much that one so delicate as
she, should be so bold; how'.she had never
feared to enter the church alone at night,
but had loved to linger there when all was
quiet; and even to climb the tower stair;
with no more light than that of * the ipoon
rays stealing through; the loop-hole in the
thick ojd wall. A whisper went about a
mong the oldest there, that she had seen and
talked with angels; arid when they called to
mind how she had looked, and spoken, and
her early death, some thought it might be so,
indeed. Thus, coming to the grave in little
knots, and glancing down, and giving placq
to others, and falling off in whispering gr.oups
■fifith t'ccmr.fuur, the-church was eleared-iri
time of all buliJhe.spa'iozijand.-tlieiniqurning,
friends. VTl\ey: and
the stoop fixed down.
' “Then, when, the' dusk of evening had
come on, -and,. not abound, disturbed the
sacced stillness of the place—when the
briglit moon' poured in her light on thctun'ib
and monument, on pillar, wall, and arch,
and most of all (it seemed to them) upon'
her quiet grave—in that calm time, when
all outward.things and inward thought lecin
with assurance'j)f immortality, and worldly
hopes and fears-are humbled in the dust be
fore them—then, with tranquil and submis
sive hearts they turned away, and left the
child with. God. Oh! it is hard to take to
the heart the lessons that such deaths will
teach; but let no man reject it, for it is one
that all must learn, and it is a-mighty, uni
versal truth. When death strikes down the
.innocent and young; for every fragile form
from which he lets the, panting spirit free, a
hundred virtues rise, in shapes of mercy,
charity and lovci to walk the world, and
bless it. Of every tear that sorrowing mor
tals shed on such green graves, some good is

MR. EWINO’S REPORT,
The report of Mr. Ewing has of course
received the unqualified approbation of the.
party papers, it is amusing to see the ad
miration they express for the recommenda
tion of the new Secretary, in regard- to the
tariff. The reader has only to glance back
at their columns for a few short weeks, and
he will find a profusion of abuse levelled at
the late Secretary Woodbury, for the re
commendation of similar measures. In Mr.
Woodbury’s report on the revision of the
tariff, dated -fun. 18th, the probable deficit
in the revenue is estimated-at-®5,000,000,
and it is conclusively shown, that with com
mon prudence,, that will be the extent, taking
into view the probable falling off in the cus
toms growing out Of the operation of the
compromise act, in 1833; To remedy this
deficiency/Mr, Woodbury proposed two ex
pedients—one was to levy a duty of 15 per
cent, upon all double articles now'free.—
This would yield the required amount, but
it would embrace many articles that might
be advantageously left free. The other.was
to-select. those articles most regarded ns
luxuries, and levy upon them a duty of 20
per cent, which would obtain the same ob
ject, • - ■
Mr. Ewing in his report makes the actual
deficit®6,oo9,94l. This is the whole de
ficiency, after using the' Tieasufy notes al
lowed bylaw. To this real deficiency, which
is nearly the same as Mr. Woodbury’s esti
mate, he adds two artificial items, viz: the
whole amount of Treasury notes outstand
ing as payable in; the. present year, and $4,-
_OOQ,Q(JO_\vhichJieJvantsJokeep-OnJiand.—
These are both fictitious demands. . The
Treasury notes are' re-issuable after being
received for customs,.should they, all be re
tained, which is very doubtful, as many of
the banks hold them as, a desirable invest
ment, and the sum to be kept on hand is an
impudent attempt to .reward the pet banks.
The real deficiency is then the same as Mr.
Woodbury’s.:. To meet this deficiency. Mr.
Ewing instead of adopting the cautious poli
cy of Mr, Woodbury;, who,' in changing the
tariff, wits mindful of the,interests of the
mercantile community, and. wished to.avoid,
as: much impossible that/curse of.coinmerce

DELERIUM TREMENS.
This is a most frightful malady- consequent
upon (he abuse of vinous and spiritous drinks.
It has recently been carefully traced and
minutely delineated by some of the most
eminent medical men ot this day, and is said
to bear with it a train of symptoms more mel
ancholy than even hydrophobia. Some time
previously developcmeut of the worst
features of this disorder, there are observed
weakness, languor and emaciation. There is
no appetite for either breakfast or dinner;
there is a peculiar slowness of the pulse,
coldness of the hands and feet; a cold mois
ture over the whole surface of the body;
cramps in the muscles of the extremities;
giddiness, nausea, vomiting. To these signs
succeed a nervous tremor of the head and
likewise of the tongue; the spirits become
dejected, a melancholy feeling pervades the
mind, the sleepjs short and interrupted; this
may constitute the first stage. , Alter this a
second comes on, attended with the highest
degree of nervous irritation; mcntalaliena
tion is its marked feature. There is a great
restlessness, a constant excitement, objects
of the most frightful nature are present to
the imagination, the.eye acquires'a' most
striking wildness, the individual canboljio
down, ho fears suffocation) he talks incohe
rently, he fancies he sees faces of extreme
hideousness before him, beings about to en
ter into a conspiracy against him, One
medical-writer who has very ably discussed
the subject, witnessed a very distressing in
cident of a patient who, for .a considerable
devil at the ceiling above his bed, and as the
disease, whi'ch,tefinflated. fatally, increased,
lie fancied the- evil' spirit ;aptMoacbed-YiVnv
with a kiiife' to-cut his throat, and he actu
glly-.expi/ied/maklng violent, efforts to avoid'
the fatal instrument.—iV.O. Bulletin,
Dreadful Scene. —The Baltimore Clipper*
gives the following as an extract of a Iptter ■
dated Tallahassee, June 2th:
“About four weeks since, as I was pass
ing from Santa-.Petre,.a—village-sixty.miles
from Tallahassee, where I reside, I saw nu
old acquaintance of mine from Alabama, by
the name of Livingston, most-horribly mu
tilated by the Indians. His. eyes were
plucked out, his ears, nose, and both hand?
cutoff. ' He was really the most awful look
ing object I ever beheld. Those who. live in
your country may talk of the war ending,
but if they were here their opinions would
change. There are ,no signs of such a thing
—it may last, from present appearances, for
twenty Jears. The bilious and congestive
fevers have raged to a considerable extent
in this place. Many persons have died.—
Our streets, as you may be aware; have been
the theatres of some deep, dark and bloody
tragedies; murals are indeed out of tune.—
One thing, however, we need not starve, as
we have plenty of fish, game of every de
scription, and vegetables in abundance.—
Those everlasting fevers, I fear, will long
continue to cast a mildew over human hap
piness in this regiou.”
COMMON SCHOOLS.
Though common, those humble seminaries are
mighty agents; they are the lover which raised
“New England to her high position. Much as wo
are indebted to Colleges, Academies, and' other
similar institutions, we owe more, —Inestimably
mbre, —to Common Schools, Opening the doors to
all, sowing the seeds of learning, broadcast, over
the land,' their contributions to the intelligence,
and consequently to the prosperity and enjoyment,
though bestowed in small-portions, to each, yet in
the aggregate swell to a vast amount. From
the primary assemblies ooze out the rills, which
commingling,'from the .streams that are ever
washing out ouf moral and political stains.—.
Stop the flowing of those waters, and our fair land
would fast blacken with.ignorance, vice and crime.
Liberty would lose their nourishment, philah
thropy her most invigorate draughts, Christiani
ty her invaluable supplies.
Christians, philanthropists, patriots, cherish
these nurseries of the mind and heart of tho next
generation. Place them so high that the children
of the rich shall be sent here to mingle with those
of the poor; here let all classes early take lessons
in republican equality; let the chUdremof. the
wealthy here learn in early life, that they are'be
ing trained up for scenes in which the most intel
lectual, the- most, deserving are to be at the head
of the class; here lot the poor boy loam,' that when
he outstrips the rich man’s sou in the race of learn-,
ing or hioral excellence, the prize of distinction of
approbation will be bestowed upon himself.
• Farmers, these schools' are, invaluable to; your
children and for your country. Few higher du
lies tests upon you, than that of lending wist’,
generous, and constant aid to lho school in your
district, notice and encourage the teacher; by pre-.
cept and example influence all parents to' send
'their children to iho school: supply yotfr children
well with books; let them be in school in, season,
and. constant in attendance;'help'cheerfully-tq
make the house comfortable. These points-aro.
all of, them important; each is worthy of serious
thoughts; and when well ''considered in all their
bearings and influences, you cannot’ fail to sco
that faith in our, country’s future .eminence onfl
higli character of the Common Sc/tools.
