The latest news from England renders it certain that the TORIES have a complete triumph in the election for members of the House of Commons a clear majority of from 70 to 80, over the Whig party, alias the people. The Tories there, are the ARISTOCRACY, who riot in splendor at the - expense of the working classes. In this triumph of the orders, the mass of the people - - w J.U.he„crus|i i .d into rncro._alijqct dependence.and slavery, and, to use the language of a cotemporary, a darker cloud, will spread over England than has been before since t|ic days of Cromwell; The unexpected suOqess of the Tories is attribu ted to the influence of bribery and corruption at the polls, and la the-falsehoods and' misrepresen tations which were propagated during the canvass throughout the United Kingdom. How strikingly. : coincident this course of conduct and success, with what occurred on this side the Atlanlic during .the late Presidential campaign. The Aristocracy of. England have acquired power through the same means sp successfully employed by their younger brethren in this country, ami it is riot stretching, the imagination too niiich to suppose lhat their conduct when in power will bo of a'-similar cliar lo Oidhe mere serfs and dependants on the privileged few. Whether the'Aristocracy shall be'able to mainplih or time, remains to Wse'en. We fondly hope tha,t in our beloved .country, at ascendency will be orshprrdiiration. - From The earliest" ages of the wdrld down td the present time; the same interests have been arrayed against each other—the wealthy and -idle FEW* against the poor and industrious MANY—the ARISTOCRACY against the DEMOCRACY. The PATRICIANS of ancient Rome were, con stantly engaged in attempting to enslave the PLEDIANS, nhd~the same in requisition that are still, and with too much success. By bribes and Jtfrgessej the people be came “hewers of wood and drawers of water” to the Patrician few—and in a comparatively short time, from bejng the freeest people on the earth the Romans became a nation of bondmen and slaves. So will- it be, so has it been in England —so may it be in'this country before many years; .unites the working men of the nation become fully alive to their rights, and assert their independence from, the . chains which a scrub. Aristocracy are forging for them. We call, upon the mass of the people to ponder well on these things before it is too late. You are yet freet . Continue to assert your liberty. . THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER. Francis S. Key, the author of the noble epic, has been removed from the office of District Attor ney of the United Stales for the'District of Col umbia, and a bitter federalist’-appointed in his place! The oircumstanoes-unde’r'which this im mortal song was composed are briefly those: Mr. Kev wrote it on board a British vessel, -where he had gone, with true bravery, in order to effeetttie liberation of a friend then-a prisoner in the hands of the British. The British commander, having resolved to attache Baltimore that night, detained . slr. Key on; hoard, lest he should give, ths v &larm. During the night the fleet inpassing FortMcHen ry were discovered,'and a fire was. opened upon them which they returned.' It was under these peculiar circumstances that Mr. Key wrote his im- TnortaFStnrSpangled—Banner.—While_layingJn the vessel, uncertain whether the chances of war were for or against his beloved country—seeing by opportunities given when the ‘‘bombs bursled in the air/’, that, the flag still waved—he poured out his soul in those beautiful lines. Could not this man for the sake of a feeling confined, to no class or boundary, be preserved “a solitary monu- “whig” patriotism*” Where was, Tyler, the high-souled Virginian,'il»at he thus suffered the author of the Star Sr ’led^B.anriecAoJalLun?- ipangl dor tlio axe of the executioner?

It wes“only for thapoor,” Owingto ourrermbli con habits,, there oxists among the people bt these United Slates a strong dislike to every thing that has the appearance of aaiet and there is too, , we are happy in the belief, a prevalentschsoofinde pendence and delicacy prompting s feeling of J dislike at the shame end dependence of pauperism. islation or benevolent actieh is wise, and works well in the long run, which.,needlessly tendsto'eradicate this fooling. ' The plan of Sdbbath School, action was sopn enlarged so as'to bring the children of the rich and the poor on the same common ground, to learn the. fact and’the Cohsequeiices of descent from the same apostate; head, and the plan of sal vation .through the bipod of the same Saviour. . The Act April 1831, entitled “An Act of education” jve.belieye originate? the present improved plan. It raised a fund “to be annually distributed and applied to the support of common Schools throughout l(iis commonwealth, in such manner, as shall hereafter be. provided by'law,” and was followed by tho'Sct of April Ist ’34, recog nizing the obligation impgsed by the constitution, “o» a solemn duly , which cannot be neglected with out a disregard of-the moral andpohiical safety if the people, and entering into, all the'details then deemed needful tb'earry out the system. , The Borough of Carlisle has been distinguished for her, well-directed efforts'to effect the object of these and subsequent acts df our legislature of like import. , Directors were duly chosen,,a large sum voted to be raised, and' after much "preparatory process “triaiiy hundred children hpving assembled m the public buildings on the 15th August 1836, were assigned, to different grades of schools, ac cording to their several attainments.”. We respectfully call the attention of the public to a pamphlet entitled -Sißegulalions, Studies, and System if the Common Schools of Carlisle, Fa., es tablished 15th if- August 18361” In It is detailed the plan adopted after much reflection, and pursued with perseverance and moat encouraging success. “The system determined on was.a series of schools, advancing progressively in the branches taught from the Alphabet to, the higher studies of an English education. Thechildren were advanced as they made attainments from, oho grade of schools to another, untTTtliey reached lhe*high schools, where it was intended they should com plete an education so far as was essential to the ordinary avocations of life, and which would fit such.as might contemplate devoting themselves to the duties.of Instructors in the'Common Schools ■of the State.”. It has been our privilege to Sit as a Board of Visiters at the public examinations of the various schools during tho past week in. this place, and it gives us sincere pleasure to bear pur testimony of unqualified commendation of those which we have severally attended. We feel alike gratified. at the system which is in operation, the steadiness with which it lias been the results which we have witnessed. We are able to state not only the fact that the children of the different schools, were-vory generally rPady to giv’e projuir answers • to the. various questions prcyPunded, but also our exercises were imt7dh'tlift part . -OMnin inotlri* oY memori/ mcrely, confidence with which they were 'Submitted to our’ examination at discretion, arid the general readi ness and manner of thehnstversgiven, go to satisfy jwsMitßC. f feature of the system. It is in’our '.opinion emi nently calculated to cultivate the powers of the pupils,Ao promote a spirit of investigation,'and to make, them, if spared to'grow up under. Its' 1 full benefit, useful, practical, men and wonhen. It is declared by the Blh section of the before cited.act of first April ,1834 that “It shall be the duly of "(he several boards of Directors to deter mine the number of schools 16 be opened in their respective districts; to cause suitable buildings to be erected, purchased or .hired for schools; to ap point capable teachers at liberal salaries’’ Ac, &c. We apprehend that the great reason of the yet but partial success of the present “general system of education” arises from a mistaken economy on the part of the people or Directors in many of our school districts inythe above ■ particulars.' Tho schools are few and crowded, the buildings often uncomfortable, and the ‘.‘salaries” not sufficiently “liberal” Insecure “capable teachers.” The more enlarged views of the citizens of Carlisle have enabled the Directors of our schools in a good measure to avoid these errors, and well indeed have they proved worthy of the confidence reposed . in them. We give below a list of tho “series of se/toojs” in our borough, with the remark that we , believe Die teachers are all'of excellent moral character, and fully “capable” of performing the ; duties of their several 'stations. It gives 113 plea- , sure to add that one important object as stated in the pamphlet before quoted, the raising teachers. , for our Common Schools, appears in progress of 1 successful accomplishment.
