Keep your . " To ngue still and your
Whips out of sight.
,The attempt to repress disorder , in, '
school by ominous' threats, back.ed.4 by
a display of whips,, is foolish and futile.
We have never seen: good order,secur
*ed in this manner, milel less effective con
trol. It is like an attempt to quell rebell
ion by pbitentiousl proclamations. Instead
of meeting . misconduct 1)S , threatening to
do something effectual in case it occurs
again the better . way is to deal with it
now. "Sufficient 'unto the l day is the evil
thereof." 1
We do not mean that punishment may
not be deferred, or be made dependent on
the repetition, of an offense. We object
to the announFement ofthis fact,, and espe
cially the habit of so doing. It may be
bestr to caution a scholar in regard to mis
conduct, or even if the teacher meanajust
what says, to inform him that it must
not ocent again. In ; this, however, the
teacher need•not say what he intends to
do in. case it is repeated. Punishment,
anticipated by being often 'threatened, is
oTeatly. weakened ; or -to express 'this
•
truth with greater matheinatiol precis
ion, a punishment, anticipated' by ten
threats, is only one-tenth as 'effective as
the same punishment without threats.
But the habit of threatening is almost
certain to lead to the use of objectionable
language. Such expressions as "I'll take
your Jude off;". "I'll whip you in an inch
o your life etc„ are exceedingly repre
hensihle., 4;re . need nbt disgrace our pa
ges by quoting the /ow slang sometimes
used by teachers whose bringing up and
position ought to proMise better things.
The truth IS, the secret of a good discipli
nation's success 116 in what he does rather
than in what he threatens to do.
The practice Orkeeping a whip always
in sight is open
. tO the same criticism.
St is .a visible-threat. When we enter a
chool-room and find the -teacher's table
or the—black-board „adorned with whips,.
bearing evidence of more or less hard set-,
vice, we involuntarily form slow estimate
-of the - teacher. We wonid sooner, keep
vials' of 'apothecary drugs oh our parlor
table as. 41, standing, advertisement pf ill
health. ' . - , .1
We need: not add that a whip or ruler
always in the hand of the teacher is still
more objectionable. We frequently find
a whip 'aged, espeendl: . y- in primary . schools,.',
'as a pointer! It ica very, poor indez: it .
points in two directions—toward tlisinspl

ought to have a good pointer.
We belieye that there is a place for ev
erything arid 'that the rod should abide in
its place. ',lt has increased powet when

Beyond the sanitary effeete of musical
culture in the schools, and beyond its use
as an auxilliary in the acquisition of a full
and pleasant elocution, it has a moral and
recreative power. - All sects and all relig
ions whatever, recognize, elevate and pu
rify the feelings. The mindcerplexed by
the study of difficult problems, or liar
rassed 14. care, or troubled or over-laden
in any way, is harmonized by music. It
is a mode of attuning the mind to serious
labor, and bringing all the faculties into
harmonious action. If pastime must be
had, it is a - wise economy that selects that
which, while it has- no bad effect, and is
really an essential of physical eduation;
best prepares the mind for study, and en
dows the school room with some of its
most delightful associations.
Speech of Henry Clan -of Kentucky,,
Delivered in the United States Senate, February
HE DECLARES THE LIBERTY OF . THE NEGRO
IN THit UNITED STATES. INCOMPATIBLE
WITH THAT OF THE WHITES. : "
The other cause, domestic 'slavery, hap.
pity the sole ,remaining cause which is
like to disturb our harmony, continues to
exist. It was this which create;l- the
greatest Obstacle and the most anxious so
licitude in the deliberations of the Con
vention that adopted the generarConsti
tution. And it is this Subject that has
ever hem retarded with,
iety by all who are sincerely desirous of
the permanency of our Union. The Fa- -
ther of his country in the -last. affecting;
and solemn appeal to his fellow citizens,
deprecated, as a calimitou'a event, the ge :
ographical divisions - which; it might pro
duce. The(convention wisely left to the
several States the power not necessary "to
the plan,of Union which it devised, and
as one with which the General Gotern
rnent could not be invested without plant-.
ing the. seeds of destruction. -There let
it remain, undisturbed by any unhallowed
hand.
Sir I am not in the habit of speaking
lightly of the possibility of dissolving
this happy Union. The Senate knows
flat I deprecate allusion, on ordinary oc
-casiosris,• to that dreadfulevent. The eoun
-try will testify that if there be anything
in the history of my public career worthy
of recollection, it is the truth and sinceri
ty -of my ardent devotion to its lasting
preservation. But we should be false to
our allegiance to it if we did not discrim
inate between the imaginary and rest dan
gers by which we may be assailed. • Ab
olition should no longer be regarded as
an imaginary danger. ' The abolitionists,
let me suppose succeeded in their-present
aim of uniting the inhabitants of the slave
States". Union oe one side will beget un
ion on the other. And this process of
reciprocal consolidation will
.be attended
with all the violent prejudices, embittered
and implacable animosities which ever de
graded or depraved human nature.
A virtual dissolution of the union will
have taken-place while the forms of in
existence remain. The 'most valuable ele
ment of the Union, human kindness, the
feeling of sympathies and fraternal b onds,
"Which, now happily unite us, isfilkhave
been extinguished , forever: One section
•will stand in menacing and hostile-array
against the other. The collision of opin
ion-will' quickly befollowed by the clash
of arms. I will not attempt to describe
,the scenes which-now lie happily-conceal
ed from our view. Abolitionifits them
, selves would_ shrink back in dismay and
horror at the contemplation of desowte
fields, , conflagrated cities, murdered"
habitants and the overthrow of the fairest
fabric of .humati•goiernment that lose to
'animate the heart of civilized man. Nor
should these abolitionists flatter 'them-,
.elveit, that if they succeed in their object
of uniting the people of the free 'States,
they will enter the contest with a sUperi
onty in numbers that. must insure vie;

ON THE SLAVERY QUESTION.

race 'is lit to thi sWift, nor the battle to •
the strog. But if they were to conquer
whom tould they conquer? A foreign
foe--oniwhom had insulted our flag; in=
wadedet shores and.laid our country to
_waste? No sir. It would be &conquest
withoulaurels, without gloryHs self, a
suicidationquest—a conquest of brothers,
achieve by one over another - portion of
the- decadants of common ancestors, who
nobly ridging their fortunes, snd their
honors, ind fought and bled, side by side
in mania hard fought battle on land, on
the ocejt, sectiTed our country from the
British irown, and established our nation
al indefindence.
The 'habitants of the slave States are
sometimes accused by their Northein
brethreyivith displaying too much rash
ness andiensibility to the operations-and
proceddngs of Abolitionism. .But before
they carbe judged, there should be a re
versal 4 conditions. Let me suppose ,
that thepeople of the-slave States were
to formiocieties, subsidize presses, make
large pOuniar contributions, send forth
numerois missionaries throughout all their
oWn borlers, and enter into machinations
to burn the beantifal capitals, destroy
their prkluctive manufactories, and -sunk
into thi ocean the gallant ships of the_
Northeri States. Would these incendia
ry proceedings be regarded as neighborly
And friendly, and consistent with the fra
ternal Eentiments which .should exer be
cherishi4 by one portion of the Union
toward another ? Would they excite no
emotiosP nor lead to any acts of retalia-,
tory -violence? But the supposed case
falls shgirt of the actual one in a most es
sential :circumstance. In no contingency
could these capitals, manufactories and
ships, ris e in rebellion and massacre the
inhabitants of the Northern States.
I am, Mr. President no friend of slavery.
The searcher of all hearts knows that
every pulsation beats high 'and strong in,
the came of civil liberty. Wherever it
is safe and practicable, I desire to see
every portion of the human family'in the
enjoyment of it, But I prefer the liberty
of my oNni race to that of any .other race.
The liberty of the descendants of Africa

the safety and liberty of the European
descendants. Their slavery forme an ex
ception—resulting from a stern and 'inex
orable necessity—to the general liberty in
the United States. We did not originate,
nor are we responsible for this necessity.
Then liberty, if it were possible,
only be
,established 'by violating the in
contestile powers of the States, and of
subverting ) the Union. And beneath the
ruins of the Union would be buried, soon
er or later; the liberty of both races:
- But if one dark spot exists on our pa
litical horizon, it is not obscured by -the
bright effulgent and cheering light that
beams all around nti ? Was ever a people
before so blessed as we 'are, if true' to
ourselves ? Did ever any • other nation
contain within its bosom so 'Many ele
ments of prosperity, of greatness and
glory ?—Ouronly real danger lie's, ahead
conspicrioun; elevated and visible.. It was
clearly discerned at the commencement,
and distinctly seen through our whole ca
reer. Shall we wantonly run.upon it, andi
destroy all the glorious anticipations of
the, high destiny that awaits us.? I be
seech the abolitionists themselves solemn
ly to pause in their mad and fatal conrse.
Amidst the infinite variety of objects of
humanity and benevolence which invite
the employment of their energies, "let
them select some ono more harmless that
does'not threaten to deluge our country
in blood.
I call upon that small portiOn of the .
clergy which has lent itself to these wild
and ruinous schemes, not to - forget- the
holy nature of the Divine mission of the
Fourider of our religion, and to profit by
his peaceful .example. I entreat'that por
tion of my country women who have giv
en their countenance to abolition,' to re-
Member that they are ever most loved
and honored when moving in their, own
appropriate and delightful sphere; and
to reflect that the ink which they abed in
subseribingyith their fair hands to Alm
petitions may prove but the prelude
to the shedding of the blood of their
brethren. I adjure C all the inhabitants of
the free" States to 'rebuke and discounte
nance, by their opinions and their example,
measures which must inevitably lead to
the most calamitous consequences. And
let us all as countryinep, as friends, and
as brothers cherish in -unfailing memory
the' motto which bore our, ancestors tri
umphantly through all the trials of the_
Revolution, and if adhered to will con
duct their pesterity through all that may,

HOW A 'FRIEND WAS
.BILLED.-
Mere is a among the remembrances of
my life as a railroad man, one of such sad
ness, that I never think of it without a
sigh. Every man unless he is so morose
that In cannot keep a dog, has his partic
ular friends; those in whom he confides,
and to whom he is alwdys cheerful,.whose
socity he delights in, and the possibility
of whose death he will never allow him
self to admit. •
. Spch a - friend. had I .in George
We were inseparable—both of. its wiler-
ried*;, we would always manage to be . to- I
gether: .. ...Did George's engine lay_ up for
the Sunday„ at one _end of 'the road and
mine at the-other; oneef us was Sure to
go. -over the' road " extra," in order that
we might be together.
George and I differed in tnany.respeots,.
but more especially-in this, that whereas
I was one of the fast"• school. of run
ners, who are never so
.contented viith"
_running as when mounted on a fast engine,
with an express train, and behind time;
:George prefered - a slow train, where, as
hp said, his occupation was " killing time,"
not "iniking it." So, while I had the
" Baltic," a fast engine, with drivers six
feet and a ;half in diameter, and usually
ran express trains, George had the "Es
, sex," a freight, engine, 'with four feet
drivers..
On Saturday night I took the last run
North, and was to "lay over" with my
engine for the Sunday at the North ter
minus of the road until two o'clock, P.
M. George bad to run the "night
freight" down that night, and as we wish
ed particularly to
,be together the nett
day, I conclud.ed to go " down - the line"
with him. Starting time came, and off
we started. I rod for, a *bile in the "Ica
hoose," as the pasiengeri car attached to
a freight train is called; , but as the night
was 'warm and balmy, the moon shining
brightly, 'tinging with silvery white the
great sil,iery white fleecy clouds tat
swept through the beavensiike - Monstrous
floating islands of snow drifting over the
fathomless waters of the sea, I went out
and rode with, , George on the engine.—
Th. pi / At was. indeed. most -beautiftil;
the moonlight sh immering, across the riv
er, which the 'wind, disturbed and brOlte
into many riPples, made it glow' and shine
like a sea, of moulten silver.' "The trees
beside thetrack waved and beckoned their
leafy tops, looking sombre and weired; in.
the half, darkness.of the night. The ves
sels we saw upon the river, gliding before
the freshening breeze, with their signal
lights glimmering dimly, and the occasion
al. steamers;
. with, light " streaming from
every' Window, and the red light of their
fires casting an unearthly glare upon the
waters—these. all combined to make the
scene spread before us, as we rushed
shrieking and howling over the road, one
•ot excellent ID'auty. We both gazed at
it, and said that if all scenes in the life of
a railroad man were as beautiful as this,
.we would wish, no - other life.-
But George's engine dianot work well.
Her punips. did not - work: After tinke?-
ing with ahem: awhile, he asked the—fire
man if there was plenty of water in the
tank;, the fireman said there was, but, to
make assurance doubly surej went and
looked, and lo . ; there was not a drop;--
Before passing through the:station George
had asked the fireman if there was plenty
of water. He replied that there was; so
George had run through the station, it
not being a regulF,stopping price for the
train, and here.we.were in a fix. George
thought he could run from -where- he had
stopped to .the next water station; so he
cut loose from the train and started. - We
bad stopped 6n •the outside of'a long?
curve, to , the other end of which.we could.
see; it was fully a half mile, but the•viesf
was strait across the water -,—a bay-Of ite
river sweeping in there, around Which the
track went; •
In. about twenty minutes after George
had : Left. we saw him cowing around the
' furthest .point of the 'curve; the brake: I
man at once took his station with his-light
-at .the end of the cars, to show-George
precisely where the train stood. -- The en- ,
I
gin canie swiftly towanius, and. I soon
k saw -that be. was getting so near that he'
could not stop without a collision, unless
he reversed his -engine at once , ; so. I
snatched_ the lamp from out the brake:
(the
bands mid swung it wildly across
(the track, but it `was of no avail. - On,
Icame the engine,- no slackening her speed
the least:' We' saw sodeixidyjumi).frtim
the - firembes-side, and in the instant
of time Allowed - us, we =looked' to ..se e
George jurini, but nol he Stuck to h is
post, and there- mune a - shock as of s

pine ruriniaty,:aait high a. Take
of aimed as could make, masking lista
. ,
the train ;- thirtien cart were piled into a
mass of ruins, the like of
_which is seldom
seen. The tender was turned bittern
side up, with the,engin3 lying atop of,. -
on its side. The escaping steam, howled;
the' water pouring in the fire, crackled and,
hissed; the stock, (sheep.and cattle,) that •
were iri.the oars bellowed and bleated id
their agony, and it. seenied.us, if the
legions of hell were 'there striving to,
make a pandemonium.of that quiet plane ,"
by the river side.. J •
' As soon as we recovered from the sheik
and .got used to the din, which at first
struck terror to Our hearts—and I think
no sound cari be More terrible that the
bellowing of a lot of.cattlethitaie ern*.
ed in a railroad smash-up'—we went id'
work to see if, George was alive, and".tb•
get him out,. dead or ,alive j . We found •
him under th,e4ender, but o ne - side

tank lay across ' his body , so that.-be, Could

Of course we dispatched a man t to the
nearest- station for aid; and Ito 7 o - 1 - egrapli
