Here we may ! very properly enquire what is education ? The I people of different ages have not agreed what | education really was, and in a short address j the different opinions relative to education could not he discussed, hut. we may give the ! outlines of what we consider the principles of I education. In the first place we live in a Chris i tian country, and the people of the United States generally helieve that all education should accord with christian principles. Not : that particular dogmas or creeds should he j taught in our schools, hut that the Bible should ' he generally used, arid that children should he ' taught to respect tlie great truths of Divine revelation. That thev 'should he taught to ! helieve in the overruling Providence of a. Di vine Being, and their accountability to# Mini J for ail their actions. That the principles in -1 eulcated in the scriptures should be carried oilt in the education of the youth. That # tliey should he taught to love and obey their pa rents, that the strictest morality should he ob served, that profane or vulgar language should i not he used, and that politeness and kindness is highly becoming in the student on all occa sions. Adoration of the Divine Being, love to parents, affection to friends, and a high re ! spect for the laws of our country ought to he 1 strongly impressed on the youthful mind. To ! succeed well with such an education, parents , and teachers must he united. They must speak ( ami net with respect and courtesy to each nth | er. The young mind is capable of strong irn -1 pressions, and easily biased against, those whose j duty it is to restrain and guard it from error, j If the parent drop a word of slight or con-} tempt ol the teacher in the presence of the ' scholar, it i> increasing the difficulty with the i teacher and adding an increased weight to an ! already overload of responsibility. With all f the aids and helps that a teacher can receive from parents and tlie public, it is an arduous and highly responsible situation* The teacher acts as a sub-parent to the child, if i may use such an expression, lie lfbcomes parent tutor ami guardian for the time being. The dull, ' : the wayward, the thoughtless, aud even the; wicked are all handed over to him together, i and a great and rapid improvement expected on them a!!. Many would be rendv to sav the task was unmerciful and the result hope , less. Not so. Teachers are formed with pa tience and perseverance equal to the undertak ing. They throw the whole energies of the mind into the business of training the voung— they have made a study of human nature. The forward are re-trained, the feeble encouraged, and all rewarded for every attempt at improve ment. The study appears to be to impart the greatest amount of knowledge with the least possible coercion. The philanthropist is look ing on with pleasure, and the intelligent are ; everywhere viewing with wonder the achieve ments made in the science of teaching. It may not be out of place to say here, that almost all parents remark that their children are harder to govern after they commence go ing to school, and that they lose part of their filial respect. This is no doubt true, and the united energies of parent and teacher cannot entirely avert the evil complained of. At al most every school there is one or more master spirits, or mischievous boys. Those master spirits will be attended to by their fellow play mates and they will naturally make their im- 1 pressions on the young mind. Those difficul ties follow education through nil its progress, Primary school, Academy and College. The education of our common schools, where the young can be prepared for college, while they are with their parents ami in a great measure under their care until their character is at least in part formed, appears to be the best safe guard for the young student. It is common to ask if it is pn>>ible for the United States to progress as much in the next half century as i they have in the last. This may he answered in the affirmative. In less than fifty years l from this date a fine classical education may he obtained and a profession studied in our j common schools. All the great achievements i of the by-gone century would he equalled by this one improvement in education. When i speak of obtaining a high classical education, ! I do not mean that seven years is to he devo- ! ted to the study of Latin and Creek. The la bor is not repaid hv the acquirement. Per-; haps the principal gain in the study of the ' dead languages is the training the mind to i studv ; but surely the same amount of study j usefully applied, would be more profitable than j when < x< ivi "<1 as a mere training. The know- 1 ledge of the languages no doubt gives the pos- j sessor a great advantage over the man who has but a smattering in those branches. We > delight in reading the productions of our states-j men who were fine scholars. John Randolph, ! James Nladison, John Quiney Adams, and Daniel Webster, were all line specimens of; great attainment* in education ; but their greatness consist- d principally in the know ledge j of the Kiigli.h language ; besides, we have had j great men who were not scholars—Patrick ! Henry, llenry Clay, and Andrew Jackson were : truly great men, without the advantages of a j classical education. No doubt a classical edu- j cation would have benefitted those men much, j but they are mentioned to show that a long j training in the d ad languages is not a! s ilutely necessary to make great men. i lie subject ot ; education has, received the attention, the conn- ■ tenanee and support of all the great men of the Union. It is a subject dear to the hearts of all true Americans. It is difficult to find a new sentence t> utter in its favor, when the pulpit, the press, the forum, the executive,and the legislative branches of our country have been vicing with each other in producing speeches, documents, aud essays in its behalf. Some noble hearted men have demoted tiiinost their whole lives to the cause of education. To name an individual amongst those, appears : almost like injustice ; but I cannot pass this ' part of the subject without referring to one ' Pennsylvania!!, who has with indefatigable ex ertion sustained the cause ol general education ; by every means in his power, for nearly or quite a quarter of a century. His body, mind and estate has been detoted to the cause with an energy rarely equalled, aud never surpassed.

BIKKOWES, Ksq., editor of the Pennsylvania School Jour nal. While all are loud in favor of not a solitary voice raised against it, flg: pcrlicial observer might suppose thaPuo obsta cles were thrown in the way of its pßejagssp and that all its management was pleJkantness. | Alas ! such is not the case. Ajjhough none ] are found hardy enough to come out openly in : opposition to education, yet illiberal minded men oppose it in detail. With them the sys tem is impeiTect. They could form a better 1 one. Competence of teachers with them is not of much consequence, and above all school teachers receive too much salary. They ought .td be paid no mere than they formerly receiv ed. It might surprise some to know that a man uttering sucli sentiments would say that lie was in favor of general education. ■ While we have much to cheer us on in the ' cause of education, we still have numerous difficulties. One man who pays a high tax does it cheerfully although he has no child to educate, while another with a large family of children and paying twenty-live cents school tax will complain of oppression, and he is sure that teachers' wages are too high or there is something wrong in the management of our public schools or lie would not be oppressed so seriously with taxes. But say they are all in favor of common schools, of educating the poor children of the Commonwealth by public expense, and leave that part of the subject for an intelligent public to decide. Lot us hope that the improvement and the situation of school teachers which has so hap pily commenced will progress rapidly, and those ' who devote their lives to so important an enter- i prise will be fairly remunerated. At present, teachers are the poorest paid class in the coun try. Talents in all other business seem to be appreciated higher. The man who drives the ox or tends the swine would scorn the pittance ! paid to those who are engaged in the instruc tion of human beings. While we have great cause to rejoice at the excellence of our American institutions, and of our success to education, it is certainly the duty of teachers to inculcate into tlie young mind the great value of those institutions and the necessity of guarding them from all danger ous encroachments. To the teacher is assigned in a great measure the duty of training the minds . of the rising generation to love our country aud its government. True liberty consists not of every one doing just what he pleases, re-1 gardless of the l ight of others but in obedience ! t< and support of the laws of our country j The fairy forms of free government, or thcim-j piaclica"ble plaus of social society where the Jj binding force of all laws, human and divimt. are derided at, taught by the fools of Eurojic, j calling themselves philosophers, ought* ?o be ' discountenanced on ail occasious. U'.n; coim** try is at present flooded with j philosophers whose mission appears to be to . poison the human mind. They are easily# known in all places by their insolent conduct. ; I'rofuuitv, vulgarism, and a total d'sregard to j other people'- feelings appears with them as, the only liberty worth possessing, or the only learning worth requiring. To teach the youth to avoid such associations, is certainly one of j the duties of the American l'rcceptor. When we have recommended obedience to j religion and law—love of parents, friends, j neighbors and country, still we may sngge-l tiie propriety of inculcating into the youthful mind a high sense <>f honor. The honorable ; man abhors a lie—lie would take no undue ad- ! vantage, lie would boldly defend a friend or ae quaintance when defense was necessary and j just, and above all, he would speak no evil of j friend or foe in their absence. Slander is one of the great evils of the world, and the per son resorting to it may fairly be set down as OIK- without the feelings of honor. Surely the student ought to be instructed to avoid slander } fraud and meanness in nil his transactions.— 1 The formation of a dignified character ought ! to be one ol the great aims of those entrusted ' with the education of the young. It is undig nified to use unprovoked, offensive language to those who are present, but far more so to speak , evil of the absent. ]aidies and gentlemen, I will detain you no longer.

A Clerical Anecdote. Some thirty-five or forty years ago, a cler gyman of the old school, somewhat eccentric, came to Salem, from the country, to exchange desks with one of the brethren in the ministry. During the Sabbath noon intermission he said to his daughter, " I am going to lie down ; if St. Paul comes himself don't disturb me.'' Mr. Bentlv, who preached in the East church who had been very intimate with Mr. Williams, but had not seen him for several years, hear ing he was in town, hnrried off after dinner to make his old friend a call. " Where is Brother Williams ?" he inquired, ar lie met the daughter. * He can't be disturbed, sir, not even if St. Paul should call." . '•! must see him !" was the impatient re joinder, in the illimitable maimer peculiar to Mr. I jeiilley. Resistance to such a " must " was out of the question. The room of the sleeper was .designated.— With no gentle voice* and *a corresponding shake, Mr. Williams was aroused. He was delighted to sec his oldjriend Bentley, reiter ating iit the fervency of lift heart his gratifica tion. " i think, Brother Williams," said Mr. Bent ley, " that you are a little inconsistent." . " flow so? how so ? Brother Bentley !"

N'IUIIT SCENE IN A VOFNO LADY'S BED CHAM- ; HEK. —Last Tin May night, which will be re membered as one of the warmest of the se;f-; son, a young lady at the " Most End" was excessively frightened at a little circumstance which transpired about the hour of midnight. The young lady, whose beauty is only equalled by her modesty, and whose " eye's dark charm " lias caused more than one waistcoat to palpitate, i had retired to her chamber, where, after lav ing aside the greater portion of her wearing apparel she committed herself to the tender embrace of Morpheus, whose soothing infliien- ; aided by the cooling breath of Zephyr, who came in at the open window and fanned lie# clients with his feathery wings. In a word, she was snoozing finely-—or, to use the language ; of a modern bard— " Sleep on tier velvet cyeliils lightly pre—"il, And dreamy sights uphi av d tier -navy breast. While -t nT.i'am-. thru' hi r wind a soStly rroeping. Stole to her couch, and treuiiiliug there stuod peeping.'' It was, as we saiy, about midnight when the your Jady % wins roused from her delicious slum #ie Iteming a noise at the window, llalf unclot-ing 1T eyes, she was startled by the sight of a coijVilent form, apparently strng- gain'aduiis.sioii to ln r chamber through the opeiiV>mhw. It struck her at once that • the intruder lnul been caught by the rear of his unmentionables by a nail or some other sharp instrument, as lie seemed to be strug gling with*a stern determination to enter. — Her first thought was to faint—her second, j to give the fellow a push—her third, to jump ; out of the window as soon as he jumped in— ! her fourth, to scream, which was immediately . carried into effect. The whistle of the loco- i motive on tiie Iron* Mountain road, when it | gave its first snort on the 4th of July, was but i a whisper to the screams of the young girl.— The whole house, and half the neighl#>rliood, were awakened by the outyv. The ohl#"<#ks, three female servants, ami two rushed to the rescue, and broomsticks, indji handles and bootjacks flashed in thc#agslight as the household entered the chamber of the frightened beauty. An examination figure in the window dispelled the fearsof all, and changed the screams of the young kidv into shouts of laughter. The imaginary 'Wat man " was only her own darling hnr.prd xkirf, which she had hung on a hook near the win dow, and which the wind had inflated and set in motion. There was no more sleeping in the house that night.— St. Louis Ifrrnld. Further Evidence that Col. jFremc-nt is Kot a Catholic. [ From the Now V nrk FlvangtUst, Fopt.A s. ] It is not our business to enter into the strife of imlfrics. That is not our vocation, and we religiously abstained from such contests, fljull we depart from this line of strict I But we are sometimes appealed to 1 j'or 'formation as to matters of fact, by rea ders imagine that we may have special means of knovvyg* the truth, in such a case we are willing to tell what we know—not for tic sake of party, but*of truth.* This we may do without sacrificing our neutral aud indepen dent chaaacter. If we can help to correct an error, or to disabuse the public mind of a false impression, we are doing a service to right minded men of all parties. We dq not urge our readers to vote one way or#the* other, but we do wish them to vote iutelligeiMiy. It is well known that one of* the candidates ! for the Presidency has been charged*with*be ing a Roman Catholic. To this sHirv we nev er gave the slightest importance, eonsiderjngit as one of those bald falsehoods which wore ' fabricated for a party purpose, and which would drop into oblivion, and be despised, as soon as 1 it had served its object. But as the origina tors of the story cling to it with greater per tinacity, thinking it a very effective weapon to excite odium and prejudice, some good men have thought it worth while to set the matter at once and forever at rest. Clergymen of this city have been applied to by members of their churches, and by letters from abroad, to make personal inquiry, since the public would have eutire confidence in their statement, knowing that they were not likely to be deceived them selves, aud that they would have no motive to misstate the fact. Thus appealed to— a number uf clergymen, though very reluctant to anything which could bring their nams"before"the puWJW!i connec tion with any polwtfcal question, aiuw*>\ Col. Fremoul for the of frank conversa tion in ngard to ktt r&igioats preftdsioft and belt-/. This they did—not. for tlicw uwn per sonal satisfaction—for not one*of tluffii had a doubt about the matter - -but simply that tliey might be able to satisfy others by an assurance from his own lips. Among those who went were Rev. Dr. De Witt, of the D itch Reform* cd Church ; Professors Henry B. Smith aud R. D. Hitchcock, of the Union Theological Seminary : Rev. David B. Coe, Secretary of the Home Missionary Society, and one of the editors of litis paper, j Rev. Henry M Field, j They were received with great cordiality, and Col. Fremont r> ponded wery frankly and cheerfully to their inquiries. When it was remarked that some of our good people were disturbed about his religion, he replied, smiling, that he was glad that his opponents were willing to admit at least, that he had some religious feeling—that he w; < not wholly indifferent to Christianity. On.- of the ministers inquired if the account of his early religious education and of his joining the episcopal Church, as given in Bigclow's i.ift of Fremont, was correct ? He replied that he hat 1 been born and educated in the Episcopal Church ; that he had been confirmed as a mem ber of that Church, ami had never had a shadow of a thought of leaving it. When allusion was made to the persistent assertions that he was a Catholic, he replied that he could not imagine how such a story took its rise, for that in fact he had hardly been inside of a Catholic Church more than half a-dozen times in his life, and then upon occasions of public interest or of curiosity. All this was said very quietly, and with no awparent desire to intrude ids religion or to make capital out of it, but to state the simple fact of his religious education and belief. No one coidd listen to this frank vet modest state ment without feeling that it was perfectly in genuous ; and that, with no bigotry towards others, lie was sincerely and unatlectedly at tached to the religion in which he had been educated by his pious mother. WITHDRAWAL OF MIL Burn WAN. —It is stated that Mr. Breckinridge really made a proposition to Mr. Buchanan, at Wheatland, on the subject, of his withdrawal. The plan is to get Mr. Douelsoa also to withdraw, and unite the Democratic and the American tickets in the persons of Fillmore and Breckinridge. Sueli a ticket, Mr. Breck inridge thinks will lie likely to succeed against Fremont and Dayton. What is to be done about the two platforms, does not appear. Nor have we learned what response Mr. Buchanan made to the proposi tion. JC-.V" A Democrat " out west " was canvass ing the votes in cars : one gave his vote for Fremont, rougher for Fillmore, another for Buchanan, and At lust he came to a white-era vatetl, meek looking passenger, '"Who do you go fnr ?"

The slaveholders of the South have twenty members of Congress on the strength of the slave population of the Southern States.

If any person is in doubt as to which of the three candidates for President has the be-t chance of election, we urge him to look carefully through c ome twenty or more politi cal journals a out equally divided between flie three parties. lie will find the Fillmore journals ai solutcly ferocious in their warfare 011 Fremont, but having very little to say against Buchanan, and saying that little very softly ; and the Buchanan journals in like maimer concentrating their batteries on Fre mont and treating Fillmore rather as the ser viceable ally lie is than as a veritable and for midable antagonist. Look through the journ als of New-York, New-Jersey, Peensylvania— in short, every Free .State where the struggle is en rue- r and Fillmore has any real support —you will iiml the contest taking precisely this shape, ii a Buchanan orator or journalist says anytlrng at all of Fdhrore, he says it \ rv mil ky and daintily ; and so of the treat ment of liuehnim Vhd his ph.tfoim by the F i!more N es. This do - not imply any real bi. nv feeling between these two parties—for at bottom they hate each other as intensely as lie. y Late us—but simply a common sense of danger—a common consciousness that Fremont is really the candidate whose election is immi nent. If Fremont were as weak as Fillmore i is, the Buchanan voters anil journals would not direct tlmir batteries mainly against the former : if Buchanan and Fillmore were lead ing the race, their backers would bestow very little attention on Fremont. But look at their journals listen to their speeches—and you will lind them full of Fremont, Fremont—his n ligion, (or other people's surmises and talk about it); his duels, (though he never fought a duel), his birth and parentage ; his explor ations, achievem uts,accounts,\e., Ate. One of i lieui makes a speech to prove that he did not conquer California, (which he never claimed to have done ;) another writes a letter to show that lie did not originally discover the South Pass, when his own report speaks of it as al ready well known to trappers and hunters i when he lir.-t visited and fixed its location.— j Fveu the " Wolly Horse "is thrown in his , face, though he never saw nor heard of such an animal, until Col.
