Whether these are well or .ill conducted, l shall not at present enquire. is sufficient to know, that the children of our merchants, our manufacturers, and .our professional gentlemen, arc not to be found in them. 1 regret that this is the fact; lor it is a fact pregnant with fa- ta! consequences to the rich as well as the poor; and it is time that the evil should be remedied, if possi sible. „■> .. Under our form, of government, the rich Inve'ifo guaranty of their wealth; poverty is not entailed on the poor. Those at the foot of theladdcr have tecen- ives to industry and accumulation; and in the lapse pf about every third the conditions' of the parties arc reversed. This alone should make the capitalist pause, before ho turns up his noso at the thought of any of his pampered children going to a common school, to mingle with the hardy off spring of tho operative employs. I could wish to break down those wills of distinction, be tween the children ol the rich and poor; 1 would wish fp sec them side by side in the same class ; lis tening to the same instruction ; emulating e ich other in all that is good ; and being thuj prepared, alike lor the contests and trials of life, by tho influence of old associations; the stronger would help tho weak- I cr, and the world bo made better by both having cx . isted in it. In our nine wards, the School tat la very nnequa! In the old am! wealthy ward*, the tax i* light, and the property holder* think it their policy to keep it no. In the new ward*, the tax i* high ; and-a* long as they shall contain the families of the industrial classes, it will continue high. In the old wards, un der present arrangements and feelings, the wealthy citizens will endeavor to make the common schools mere pauper sehonls ; and in the new wards, it will be onerous on the few persons who have any amount of tatablu properly, to support the schools as they should be supported. Now, what l want to propose to our cit zeus is this : Lot a public mooting be called, and our representatives instructed by it to have the ! School Law, in regard t« Pittsburgh, so amended, that the tax, hereafter, will be uniform over the city. Let each ward haye its school, and school dirrclors, present; and let a Superintendent be elected from'thesc, to apportion the funds according to the nee’esritios of the * schools. Let these schools be conducted in ruch a manner, that they will be supe rior to all others; amLby their excellence, force the select schools out of existence. In thc«c. ward schools, all the primary branches of English educa tion sboujd be taught,—such as reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, grammar, history, &e.,&r.; and when these arc mistered by aft iniclligentcluld, he ought to be removed to a Central High, Seine!, supported out of the school fund, where he could be Uughi the higher branches. No one should be permitted to enter the High School, until he had graduated in the Common School. In the former, the mathematics, logic, rhetoric, natural and moral philosophy, the modern languages, mechabicaldraw ing,chemistry,geology,ostrooomy,physiology,Blc , | &c., should bo taught by competent masters ; and : the youth of our city thus fitted to enter into the arena of life, w ith their armoron. ij.um confident that a great ralutary change can be made in our com mon school system ? vMtich will lie ot.tnftnil4p bene fit to the poor; ami of great ecrmamy-IViKHjiHjPffU,; too; to our wealthy citizens, if they only go lOgworlr in the right way,"and with the* right spirit; just as thev enter into their ordinary business avocations.

M BURRITT. Ttae Glsy Meeting. Beyond all peradventure, the Whigs arc the most ridiculous party that ever wet organised, sinco par ties have existed. Their proceedings constitute pne long-protracted farce, divided into jnst as many scene* »s they attempt political movements. When they nnnonnee i new effort, the public have a sure prospect of fun; and their most solemn cunvocs tions are about at edifying os Aleck Stevenson’sre vivals, when he mounts some dry goods box, to preach on tho “ same subject, continued.” The latest demonstration the Whigs have made, was their Clay meeting. It was to have been a spontaneous burst of adulation for the “ Embodi ment,” in tho old Court Hous” ; hut, fearing the ef fect of such nn outburst, in the open air, they con cluded to bottle up their ardor, and let it explode in small quantities, in the Lafayette Assembly Rooms. . Tho speeches were amusing in the extreme—all rotten and reeking with the most offensive kind of man-worship. One of the Ciceros of the occasion, declared that they had met to give Henry Clay an assurance that they admired him as much ns ever, asd that he was the “ Embodiment,” —of course, and nothing rise. It was nut to be expected that they assembled for the purpose of doc 'aring or sus taining anything like principle. , Another of the'spouters, who is said to have in herited the fcnrful energy of manner and character of an early Scottish reformer., (whoso descendant, in a st aight line, he is supposed to be,) offered to forego four years of his life, in order to eke out Henry Clay’s existence. It is submitted that tbe Embodiment” would not know what to do with the gentleman’s “years”—they would be too long iuid too useless in every respect. Another orator had some funny jokes, which bore hard on’the President! or somebody else; we don’t jur t remember who. Hut, by far the most laugha- circnmstanco about that speaker, is, that less than three months ago, he said, openly and vehe montly, that be would never vote for Clay again, no matter how often he was nominated. His incon sistency, however, was not nroTe glaring of the “ Embodiment,” who was once bloody minded enough to threaten to kifl a Mexican, but has become so gentle that he would not 'kick a Mexican dog, if it threatened, ever so loud, to bite himv The resolutions of this famous meeting, were in all the rest of its doings; and were « whig all over.” There was nothing proposed for the pubHcjjood, but there-was any amount or sym pathy for the poor Mexicans! There wta no avow al of principles; no ‘remedies; devised for alleged evils; but there wu a comwkue appointed to a&k Clay to eatjandanother toraise money to buy his portrait.

If in the examination of Fourierism, I use unfair argument, the exponent thereof will be my benefactor. Says brother Allen, ** Labor creates every thing, Labor owns every thing ; God has not made a mis take in giving men the passion or the faculty of: acquisitiveness. The possession qf the faculty is the , justification of its exercise .»* Having already ex amined the assertion that Labor creates t and expos ed its unioundness, but few words arc needed, to show, that labor does not own every thing. The capitalist despoils labor, by usury, to such extent, that the laborer is brought forth into a world, in which almost all the elements thereof, even the necessaries of life, are already under bond mort gage. He ta without any recognised right to broth erhood with tho capitalists; debarred from the use of the soil, he is without country, and is thus des poiled of manhood. “Liter owns everything!”. Labor produces all that can be justly designated wealth, but the “sidereal harmony ” *of usury, by spoliating labor of its fruits, calls into existence a class named capitalists, which prey upon the la borer, until hoowns nothing. If the faculty of acquisitiveness implies **the right of individual property,** then the faculty of de structiveness, Will Imply the right to destroy all obstructions to the possession of property. If God gives the one, then God also gives the other.— This will prove! too much for Fourierism, or the Rationalist philosophy of circumstances—public Dfoperty to subserve universal happiness—the or ganic faculties, land their exercise, can be better reconciled to promote the interest of humanity.— 1 Acquisitiveness * may incite increased efforts in the pursuit of useful knowledge, and * destructive ness,* in removing the obstacles to its attainment, which existing error has erected. 1 have heard that the most benevolent man of this age, he who has done most to devslope the * love principle * by dis covering, and promulgating, extens velv, the * phil osophy of circumstances,* the (acuity of combat ivencss in him is large and well used; in com bating err*r with truth, whilst nobly endeavoring to upset injustice, by implanting the brotherhood of man with united’ interests; thus superceding competition, the demoralizing agent of‘society as it is,* with the humanizing influences of‘love or unn,* not love of money.
