Gerritt Smith intro duced Resolutions tofaise an armed force, and one, hun . dred thousand dollars a Month to sup port it. We make the following- extract from his speech' on the subject as reported in the N. Y. herald and Tribune: -" Mr Smith continued to speak of the aggress ions_of thd South, and said he only hoped to hear of a cnilision at Topria—that he ~only desired to hear of a collision with thefederalitroops, and that INo-thern men had failcn—and then he would hear it f Northern States arl aging • themselves against the federal gocernment ; and trQuidthat be the end? !No, Aftcsouri would be the nest .battkfteld; and ,then slavery would be driven to the wall. Her ;strength is only apparent ; it consists half i n No them cowards. and doughfaces. It has been , brave and rampant only because the North has ded before. It will run when-The North faces it. He beliered the time, had come to use physical furze. If-the Conception thought with G-oser. nor Reeder, th,at such was not the fact, with all respect he could halt no symititthy with it." We invite candid and patriotic , men to look at this outburst of treason' above; quoted', and to rAect upon it. Cog you any 10:ger doubt.that this opposition party aims it the overthrow of this goviirnment. -1' hope to bear of a collision 'With the Federal troops, say -Mr. Smith, and then nr4ice that be,gives his reasons • for hoping so. Because then !'t be would: bear of Northern States arraying themselves AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT." And then, too, mark his langria,gP f - 7 ‘ Missouri i would be the next battle ground,"that is, after the territories were . d . isposed oPartil then slavers would befiriv en to the wall !" ; : Here .then we h'; ve the open 'declaration of one of their - members, and prominent men, that this ;tarty means' not only to interfere with sla very in the States., but that they mean - to do so by force of arms. I They mean to resort to the bayonet to carry out:their treasonable designs . And yet this is file party that is-inking the Amer ican people to give them control of the govern pent. Does anyone doubt the !Consequences 1 We de not beliei - o the masses of the pcopre mean to do this—that they mean to involve' thicoun try in civil war, butt their leaders do. Let the masses therefore be no longer deluded by them, and by their cry of !Freedom. i What kind of . freedom do they :.oifer ? The freedom of the bayonet. :They do not mean this difficulty shall be peaceably settled: - - Smith says, he hopes to hear of collisions •w i ith the federal troops, and that northern men hive fallen, th'at is, been killed. Look at the wretelriithus delighting in, blood, in order to o situp his political ends. We minim it that the time hail tome when we had better try the streirgth of this government, and see whether it is strong eiongh to protect itself, from these mad disunionist*. Let Mr. Smith, tberefOre,March his army on and come in collision with the United States government, * linthen we will have it demonstrated whether th; government can clefend Its4ilf spinet treason. The Constitution defines what' treason is—that it "consists in lere)lng war.against the United States.", -And here, this man Smith, proposes in the City, of Buffalo, to raise an armed force for the parliMie of "arraying . themselves against the federal or United States government. And he 1 further offered to - contribute slsuo per Month himself to early it bn i All that is lacking to make the Uvulas pprfect.andi Conelnsive is the overt set of carrying his designs into execution: To show that thißopublican party Sym , wce, in' with thi s: , ntiment. of Smith, it is only _necessary to I quote_ further from the speech. Here are is words - :-- - a He ivuoted fr speeches a Mr. Atehin t son, and Mr. Rives. of Virginia, to, prove' that the South . had - 4 Jared they would never give up Kum% 'x n u ll they were forced to give up .Slav . e bad also better athori ty, for this, . tad oiM which hone in this Con vention would .dispute., He had .a letter from their-own .candids 4 forte Presidency, Col. Fremont, who declarefthe same thing." - Thus the reader will see that he declares I - - that he bads letter, from( Freitiont,: saying .-7 . -' tliset the - South *ill not i give .uP r itrim" ... 1 •-I • . till they ma forced to give up Slavery ; and u a dejection of purse, they must be forc ed to give op Slavery in order to make Kan wares. This ii the struggle, this the - issue made up:—eivil war and all its horrors. This is the precipice we aro approaehing. R_, more pruilent than Mr., Smith. said : When on thitrail of the enemy, against whom his bad a deadly hate, he would follow him vtith a cat like , wild, and would not strike until he could strike him surely dead- He wns,,therefore willing to wait until they bad the power he would thushave used. He did not wialuto give the South .notice of their intent - lint by marching armed men in to the Territory. The dragoons could go in as voters, or to cultivate the sod, and strike when the 'right 'time iirired. • When the right came to strike, be wanted the South to hivgi the first notice or the blow in • the blow itself." -' Eorron. It will thus ,eett that itv,adr thought it best to keep their designs covered tip till eTe tythingia ready .for the blow. •He would play the "cat"—wuuid deceive the people till - too Late for diem t ' defend thensolves.

We were present, last Wednesday, at the annual exhibition of this in'titution of learn ing';loca ted at St liseph's Chocon at township this Theelege is, in infancy, it beitti but about far years since it was first opened. Stticl, of Ibis time has been anent in the erection.ofsnita able buildings,and in providing accommodations actually neces sary furaschotil even - on a limited scale. The school is under the djrectirin of Rei. dolls 011it.tv,--assisted by '.Rev. Mr. WHEELER coda competent corps of Profes. ore, and tutors. The. religious denomination of the School is Catitolie, though 'it is not exclusive. Protestants are in attendance,and the religions predilections.of no one are at all interfered with. The bnildings aro spacious, and very well ,designed. Its seclnded loca tion, entirely removed from the temptations and vice , . of a towm, render it a most desire able retreat for the young. Parents may feel , a perfeet security iu placing their Children at St. Josephs, that, under no circumstances,can they be exposed to the temptation to indo- lence and vice, that .now generally surround our institutions of learning. ) • . In-many respects we were most_ agreeably disappointed in our visit. We had no idea that. this School possessed Anything like the facilities which it (lots, nor did we suppose that the institution had become a fixture, so to . spesk, among the institutions of the Coun try.. But so it is. Mr. has overcome the most formidable obstacles and- has succeeded now, through the liberality and material aid Of friends, in placing the institu tion on a solid pecuniary basis; and in secutiug to it!a patronage, rapidly increasing, teat fixes it beyond the possibility of failure. We may now consider 1: as one of the estab lished institutions of th c.:;ll.!ry, and as such it is proper that its character should be scru tinized by the public. r We do not care e hat the religious caste of a school rnaville. We will extend encont= amement to'any -invitution for 'the promo tion of education believing . that the education of the mars.ei of the peoi 1 conduces more than anything else to the putting down of error-in whatever guise it may baclothed. It, is in4lie soi 1 :of ignorance,. that error of opinion, whethe of religion, or anything else flourishes. In proportion as the mind is edu cated and cultivated, in that . proportiori the capacity foi. - develOping„ understanding, and embracing Truth is increased. !Give - the mind a liberal.eduCation in• the sciences, and * we need not fear the influence of e - roneous eons or pialitical doctrines. It will separate Truth and error the same as separate the wheat from the chaff. Schoole.then, un der the mo•e• especial patronage of ;Religious Societies are not objec.ts of dread in thisgov ernment of 6ee diseurision. Many are drawn into such schools, through the zeal of the seci,:or by the philanthropic efforts of reli gions beneficial associations, that would oth erwise. grope their way through life k igno mica, Thouriands of such may be found all over the couptry, who have been educated and become ornaments to ' - c. - cominunity—moit valuable citiz.ens—.-who bat for such institu tions would have been lost to society and the world. Let no one then ; object to schools under the patronage-of religious societies.— They have their appropriate field Of enterprise —a field that else would-be uncultivated: We were forcibly struck with the exercises as particularly evincingthe most careful and thorough dil;cipline, both in the studies of the pupils and in their conduct. We have attended many examinitions- and exhibitions, but we never have attended one showing that the students were more completely disciplin ed in all the: , points essential to the moat thor ough educat ion than here. There seems/to be no escape from the severe exactions of thorough study and complete men tal training. Several orations ' were rt a vety high older of composition, / and the elo cution generally was good/ About fifty students were in attendance the' last term, many of whom were (tom' a distance—same from New .
