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
