its of the Slave State.:; and it passed an 'ordinance

th Dentorrati party passed such an ordinance as

its recent acts?. Never ThoughCnauch about it, eh?
WO did not suppose you had thought muelinbout-ft.
Yciu would pot be;a Detnocret" if you had. We
will tell you.
In 1787, : the Stave Power was in infitncy, 7 -it was
". and insignificant. Indeed, Slavery bad not yet
to to'be a political power in the United States.—
, xerted little or no porntad influence. It did not

e representathes of the people were left to ex.
ss their honest convictions, and to carry out their
M principles., "gnawed t4v influence and unbribed
gain,"' The ordinance of 'B7 may be considered
a fair and candid expression of the opinions of the
: men of the country—of suelt men as Washing.
~ Jefferson, Madison, Randolph, .t.c.
n 1820, the DiMiocmtic party discovered that it
[
h been doing a great wrong to the southern per
ti ,n of the confederacy. It discovered that the
Southern States bad just as 'much interest in the Teri
rittaries sal the Northern States, and that it was, there
fore, wrong to-exclude Slavery from all the tenito
rid. It then .dividedthem between the North and
th..! South, giving one, halt to Preedom-and the other
half to Shivory. This it cousiciered t!:1 be a fair and
equitable division of the
,public domain. Do you
know how your party happened to discover that it
hi l i d done a great wrong to the - South ? why U 'teas so
to acknowledge it bad done an abt of gat

make amide amends for It great wrong it • had in

Is the oft-quoted adage, " As . the twig is bents the

not; the chilil be carl.,taught to revsrencedlre- Scrip- I

But says our unknown trietrd, ("„X..T, y,") "Our
schools should be' guarded from all sectarian intluen:-
ces;lor the obvious reason that they are. supported 1
by all denominations, and each one does ' not want
another's creed forco upon his children."
• .But hearken a moment to Paul's idea of the Scrip=l
turns. "AU Beripture is given by'inApinttiOn of God,
arid is profitable'-for what ?—" for doctrine, for cc
prdof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
.NOW I wodid not hive a. teacher urge the minor:prin
ciples of the Methodists, die. -Viesbiteriarts, or the
Baptists ; but iet'him urge them to "Remember nor
their Creator-in the days of:their youth," dm.:, teach
them that' they that seek him early shall find him ;"
assure diem that Jesus will not reject them ; for he
said, "Sutter little children to come- unto me, and for-
bid them not; for of such is the kingdon of God."

. And except ye be co:mated, dud beco e as little
children, ye shall not enter into the tingdo :1 of hear-

within the teacher's jurlsilistion: , IA first the, law .

enee upon their_ pupils? or was it merely for t ' he.
name? If for the forfirer, most certainly the teach
er is, in a'great degree, responsible for the morals of
hie school
With this view, suppose a child is det.elc ted in
stealing from his playmate, or'in 'faiSehood
to the injury of another scholar, or in blasphentv; ut
tering wicked oaths at some onc'that had displeased
him,—should all these things pass minotieett' by the
teacher? or, would ,youi gutTer dila); Or lie”, to xcad
from the Scriptures, you so much detest, "Thou
shalt not steal;' " thou shalt not bear false witness;"
"thou shalt not:take the name of the Loni thy God

For " correction F." -"Wherewithal - shall a young
man cleanse" or correct, "his ways?" ",,By taking

of " 'l'd Y.," but the word of God, the Seripfures.
Vim "instruction in righteousness :" " Blessed are
the meek for they shall inherit the earth." " Bet
