Scholasticism and Sfatemanship
Not long ago Charles Francis Adams
delivered an eulogy on the life and ser
vices of William II. Seward, in the State
house at Albany N. Y. Mr Seward's
services to the country are elegantly
dwelt npon. His great public acts are
all put in the most advantageous light.
He has Jbeen so hauusomely eulogized
that the overshadowing practical States
manship of Abraham Lincoln in the late
struggle with the slave power have been
made to appear the second part. Such
an interpretation of Mr Lincolu's services
do not meet with approval. The North
American discusses the point in the ful
lowing manner :
We search in vain through the address
of Mr. Charles Francis Adams in honor
of Mr. Seward for any better understand
ing of that variously defined so.netliing
called statesmanship. Whatever that
something may be it survives almost
eudhss definition and remains as pro
found a mystery as ever. While Mr.
Adams plaiuly intended to deal justly
by Mr. Lincoln, it is everywhere appar
ent that he, in comma:, with men of his
order, regard Mr Lincoln as a favora
ble background against which to show
off the eminent subject of his address.
But the practically great men heretofore
produced in this couutry have not been
great as tried by the scholastic standard,
as a rule. The history of the world also
reveals the f.ict that scholasticism is an
indifferent political factor Men versed
in the subtleties of the schools have not
proved eminent successes as directors of
public affiirs. They have their uses,
aud those uses are sometimes very impor
tant. But the men who reach dowu and
take hold of the sympathies of the peo
ple are, after all, the real controllers of
the affairs of civilized nations.
Mr. Seward occupied a prominent yet
subordinate position during Mr. Lincoln's
term. His instincts trained him to di
plomacy, a branch of politics ouce re
garded much higher in grade thau at
present. Mr. Seward's accomplishments
in that direction peculiarly fitted him to
hold the portfolio of State. His intellect
was subtle, aud qualified him to meet
the best meu sent out by other nations
on a footing of perfect equality. lie was
cautions and reticent prime tai's in the
character of a minister of State, fu a j
certain sort of political training ho was j
greatly the superior of Mr. Lincoln,
while in scholarship and culture he was
Still farther in advance of his official
chief. It is no injustice to Mr. Lincoln
to admit this, for he was as fully aware
of it as Mr. Adams himself. In modern
times, however, men have come trVtbe
knowledge that, while culture, training
and subtle intellect are all compatible
with statesmanship, yet neither one nor
all of these things constitute that quali
ty. The statesman, like the poet, is
born, and not made. Mr. Lincoln was
as much the superior of Mr. Seward in
native adapteduees to the work of guid
ing a great nation along the devious
paths of progress, as Mr. Seward was by
nature and training superior to Mr. Lin-
colu in the subtleties of politics. With
of supreme danger. Hut neither of these
skillful men and sterling patriots was of
the people, and neither of them knew
how to reach down and take hold of the
popular feeling. Liucoln was a repre
sentative American, and so -regarded
by the masses. Tender 'in disposition,
clear righted, reluctant to peril life, yet
stern and persistent in his policy to sub
due insubordination, the popular heart
warmed to him and believed in him. No
President of the United States was ever
so beloved, not even Washington, who
inspired awe and admiration, rather thau
any softer emotions. There is a niche
for each and everyone of the notable
men of that recent time which tried men's
souls, but Lincoln the man of the per).
pie and the man for the emergency
holds, and will ever hold, a first place in
the hearts of his couatryman.

to admit that the etruggle would be long

of assembling a large army. Tli6 Cabinet
was devided in sentiment as regarded
that policy, t e President and General
Cameron, Secretary of War, holding to
the policy of accepting as many men as
nrght offer their services, while others.
Mr. Seward among them, appeared fear
ful that a regiment too many might get iuto
service. The blunder of the early day3
of the war lay ia the dilatory process by
which-the natioual forces were augment
ed. Mr. Lincoln yielded much to the
conservative views of Mr. Seward and
one or two others. Nevertheless the
time came when his more advanced views
were adopted, and his practical sagacity
dominated in the conduct of the war,
The truth appears to be, and history
will more and more serve to llustratc it
as it mellows - itli age aud the space
widens between it and the events it
chronicles, that Mr. Lincoln was raised
for tho emergency that covered his first
term. And as the passions excited by
the conflict subside, it will be seen that
neither Mr. Seward, Mr, Chase nor Mr
Adams, members of the same family of
publicist.-, would have been equal to the
work that Lincolu did so well aud so ac
ceptably. It was not an era of diplo
matic, though diplomacy played an im
portant part, and the country is certainly
the grateful debtor of Mr. Adams in that
respect. It owes a great debt of grati
tude to Mr. Chase, whose cool head gave
the nation a sound and most admirable
system of finance. The nation is also
justly proud of Mr. Seward, whose can-
Trof. Fowler's Greatest Work.
The National Publishing Company, of
rhiladtlphia, have just issued a very
important and valuable work, by Prof.
O. S. Fowler, on Manhood, Woman
hood, and their Mutual Iuterlations ;
r T . T T w
ixive, 11s Laws, l ower, etc. it is a mas
terly exposition of the laws which con
trol the relations of the sexes, aud their
duties towards each other, and it is uot
asserting too much to pronounce it the
most valuable and timely publication of
the age.
"Know thyself !" Was the profound
injunction of the ancient sage, mid it is
the in gleet to comply with this precept
which causes nearly all the misery and
sicknes of the world. It is astoni-hing
to find how utterly ignorant men and
women, otherwise accomplished aud iu
telligeut, arc concerning themselves
Husbands and wives constantly feel the
need of more light on the subject of their
relations to each other, especially con
cerning the great duty for which mar
riage was instituted the begetting and
rearing a great family.
It is for the purpose of diffusing ' this
knowledge that Professor Fowler- has
given to the world this woik ou "Sexual
Science," which is simply an explana
tion of the. laws which govern the sexes
iu tneir relations to eac.n other. He
points out the duties of husbands and
wives and discloses facts of which 110
true man or woman ought to be ignorant
He lets us into the secret of preserving
female health and beauty far into old
ge, and shows how mothers can avoid
much of the suffering of bringing chil
dren into the world a subject in which
every woman is interested, and how ''fe
male complaints" may be avoided with
ease and certanty. j
Ilia book is pure and elevated in its
and ideas, aud furnishes a practical so
lution of many of the most perj lexiug
qnesliors of life. It should be Tead by
the young and old, by the married aud
single, and especially by those contem
plating marriage. It touches upon ques
tions and disensses them thoroughly, iu
which every married person is interested.
The advice which it gives to unhappy
or indifferent husbands and wives is
sound and praciical, and its warnings to
those who seek to promote pleasure at
the'OtpeMsif health ought to be read
by every one. 1 he terrible practice of
"regulating the size of families," which

is shown iu its turc light, and we com
mend the chapters concerning it to every
husband and wife.
All the friends of morality and purity
in social life will hail the advent of Pro
fessor Fowler's book with delight, and
those who seek information upon the cur
ious and tragic features, of domestic life,
those who study human nature stripped
of its marks and disguises, will find this
volume the best baud book in oxistence.
Young men to who value their domestic
happiness, should not fail to road his re
marks on the subject of selecting a wife,
as the information it contains is beyoad
value.
The hook is a real blessing to the pub
lic, aud will be regarded as such by all
who read it. The low price at hich it
ia issued brings it withiii the feach of all,
and every person who wants to arrive at
a proper understanding of the true rela
tions of the sexes, ehould'procurea copy.
It is sold by subscription ouly.and agents

American rancher, being near Fort Quit

his body thrown iuto the Rio Grande, and

pursuit was made by a party of citizens,
and the Mexicans overtaken. A fight
ensued, in which the pursuing party was
defeated and returned to Fort Quitinao,

of the animals or the arrest of the mur

too soon, and somewhat brazen," the In

the Democratic party nominated the chief
protectionist of the county" as its candi

with the Intelligencer that it is "some
what brazen'' and a little "too soon" for
the World to say so. But nevertheless
that journal, which unquestionable leads
the Democratic party, and without which
it would be almost without brains, has
taken the responsibility of making the
declaration ; and if the truth must be
told, it will take but very little weeding
