SLANDER The Edinburg Itetjete for July has an article vindicating Lucrezia Bor gia from the calumnies heaped upon her name for neat' four hundred years; It was ►hear one hundred years ago that Sismondi showed'the improbality of the horrible scandhls respecting her, of which there was never any proof. The Ali.thodi,:t says : i " she will remain in the popu larjudgement the female type of the greatest wickedness, and historians Will in vain write. over and over again. " Most of these stories are known to be lies, and the rest ,have no solid foundation." " Ming-long" has engraved a - lie on the .page of history, and the people will stone a hundred new martyrs sooner than restore' reputation to one defamed person of a past age." This it true. hut the'remark need not be limited to the victims of slander of a past age. It is true of the present. We may talk of living a slander doWn, but is it ever done ? Ari overwhelm ing vindication, which will provoke the popular indignation against the slander, will come the nearest to ob literating its effects, but the devil in the human heart will always sneer at the purest life which has upon it the scars of a lying defamer's assault. The rule which should be adopted in dealing with, defamers is to hold them guilty of the crime .of slander in all cases where they cannot clearly prove their defamation. And by . a defamer we mean any one who utters an injurious remark concerning an other, truthfully or falsely. THE DYING WORDS OF MR SEWARD. A. COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE IN SCHOOL OF ALL CHILDREN WITHIN PRE SCRIBED AGM ~ . The subject I have selected for the foundation df ins retilatla this evening, is not a new one, but one that has already received the consideration of many Wise and good men, and the practicability pf its enforcement; has been discussed under one or another form to a very, considera ble extent; frequently but inaccurately under the bead of Compulsory Education! Education is defined by Mr. Webster, "To comprehend that series of instruc tion and 'discipline, Which is intended to enlarge Ithe understanding, correct th e . temper, l and form the manners and habits Of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations." The educated man or woman ther., is the one who acquires all that this defini tion imports, to a high degree; ancicom r pulsory education implies the acquisition of these attainments to a liberal perfec t tion, amiatter diflicUlt for all to succeed in, within the Same prescribed 'period of time, or within any practicably limited period of time; and very many would be found wholly unable to succeed in doing so throughout their whole lives, an under taking unprofitable to continue; hence, compulsory education 'cannot be attained, and a compulsory attendance in the schools for a stated period of time, of all 'children, is as far as law can be made available, - or of any good results.. And by it will be beneflited just in the ra tio of their ability to acquire knowledge, and application and assiduity in pursuit of instruction. Therefore, the conclusion is, Compulsory tducation is au inaccurate term, and cannot be made successful. The subject necessarily resolves ,itself into the following divisions or heads ; 1. The value and benefit of au educa tion to the individual. 2. The value and benefit of nn educa tion, as applied to the people of a govern ment. 3. The constitutional right of the law flaking power of our State, to make and prescribe such laws anclenforce them.• 4. The kind of I ivy that should be pre scribed. i. The effect of such a law oli our free =MEM ' tinder these general beads, 1 Shall dis cuss the Subject and present such thoughts as have occurred to me,' in sup port of such a law. The education' of human beings, considered in its most ex tensive sense, comprehends everything Which is requisite to the cultivation and improvement of the faculties 'bestowed ',upon them by the Creator. It might to ,embrace, everything that haS,'' . a tendency ;,to strengthen and invigorate the animal • !system, enlighten and enlarge the under standing, eegulate the feelings and im :pulses of the heart, qnlarge . and direct the moral powers. and elevate. and purify the 'taste'. And the inevitable result of a Complete acquisition' of these desirable iainments, renders !the recipients of such instructions happy and contented within themselves, useful members of society, qualified to fill the most arduous and - dill'. positions in society, And at the end of life they arc. the better fitted for the scenes and employments of a future and More glorious existence.. One educated in and by the -sources of education, as here defined, (and no person should find fault with it) then will possess the highest Character of physical system—one of the necessary and: ;imperative requisites to a high moral; and intellectual existence, Without which it is impossible to attain eminence, morally or intellectually. The educated man or woman, with en larged-understanding, becomes the think- Mg, comparing, analyzing, reasoning per- Sint, without which no progress nor int proVement is made. •He, also learns to carefully consider every subject, and acts: only up nn well-matured judgments, in all the affairs which he shall be called on to take part, whether of a public or private nature, individually or for others, and such au 'oriels always respected, honored, acid is influential. He is the better for his education. whatever maybe his occu pation, or condition iu life. Education modifies, controls and changes all the ba 'sei and lower nature of the human being. If 'avaricious, that quality is turned to the profit and benefit of 'society, and does 'Mit degenerate into sordid selfishness. If prodigal, that sentiment becomeS well regulated and judicious generosity, under !its benign influences. If boorish,: sullen, 'rough or uncouth, Education is a pana 'eep, whose curative effects not only are 'presently seen, but they widen, deepen, and spread' out, throughout ail time, beautifying and ennobling the soul. But L above and over all these, which alone are a SUfficient incentive for the acquisition of knowledge, the educated man is the bet ter-prepared to understand and conipre hoel the relations existing between him and his Creator,—his duty to au all-wise and merciful God, and the truths contain ed tn tto uptures, and is much more likely to embrace and rationally follow the r teachings. But why dwell longer Upon tbe . benefits and incalculable value Of :au education to the individual. , The mind may be likened to the diamond deeply encrusted in worthless rock,' rough and unsightly; and education is the lapi dary which cuts and polishes that dia 7 . mend into magnificent brilliancy and lustre. • If such' be the result of education with tbe single individual, and of such iticalcu *hie value, bow may •we estimate its worth when bestowed upon a whole peo ple, each of whom is educated. It needs no demonstration to convince the'rnind that in the same degree you im prove the physical, moral and intellectual character of each individual .of a commu nity, so, is the aggregated community im proved and benetitted; :and so on to all the Perfection possible for human ;beings to attain, until so high and perfectja, con dition of society , may be reached, asto - be. come a foretaste of the: condition of the residents of the Golden City.: Irk this thetigliiithere is no fancis. dream of Uto pian bliss entertained, tier that by a the rough.edumtion of all the people, we are going to hasten the millennium; but we would impress upon everybody, ' with all the ,poiier of earnest words, uttered in the most fervent manner possible, that a,-,com munity, thoroughly indacted in all the en nobling, elevating, refining and purifying influenees of true education, will give ns a Oixditinn of society far above what hn man mind hath•coneeived, or tongne:bath told' except as uttered by revelation: and divine Invite—ono TiirehtsAim d loam beset ir limited to tlui ,selioot days of It begins in. the cradle and end. grave, when and where a higher a , glorioos existence begin* Ail life 1 opporthnitiesliave been pro)erly Wed and improved, and a rhthet of correct athiininents be enjoy out anjunending eternity.
