FOR PRESIDENT,
A SKW -‘WUIO" MOVE 1
A Whig paper asserts that“ ladies’ kisses denote |
generally'© more correct judgment on the fitness of
candidatca than mens’vptes.” A Democrat icco
temporary adijses, As Harrison was sung into the
Presidency, we propose that Clay be kissed into
it. Aii means have failed.” Wc opine that
wHVbe unavailing; as the ladies arc, in
general, chirj in bestowing these “ silent messen;
MnttCldTfc;** and they are not willing to give them,
/
ItwouWteem, however,that one of the “Whig”
tOkdieSjlwriUDg,for tho New Yprk Tribune, has
started % plan of kind. He says, (referring to
Mr.Claj’asojourn in the city of Washington:)
One lad j haw joist taken off her white glove, be
cOKteh was pressed by the hand of Henry and
no other kand shaJl exer preu it again. It is sacred
patriotic grasp.. Nor indeed has the hand of
beantyoeenthe only thing pressed to-night; for lips
which: migh those won an angel’s kiss, have felt,
themselves too highly honored by being pressed by
hit. ;Thismay almost appear like trifling ; yet it is
the deep devotion of the more pa
.trioticteex for. they great patriot and statesman.
WhataUgacy Mr. Clay would bestow if he could only
beqveath ihose lipt qf his.”
There were a/rttf disgusting scenes in 1840, in
which ladies -were induced to participate ; but we

I do injustice to the.wealthy portion of the commu

and invites me to visit the schools in some of llip
old Wards, where I will .find the children of the
“ rich and poor side hy side,” &c. Z.fisa Schobl
Director, and he assumes that I am ignorant of the
character of the schools in the cUy. Ifl have writ
ten without a knowledge of the subject 1 am glad
that an intelligent gentleman has strpprq! forward to
sel me right. Rut lam not sure that Z. is better
acquainted with the condition of the schools in the
city than myself; nor do I think him possessed 6f
as much candor, as an ordinary reader >f his article
would suppose. Let me ask bin a question or two’:
When the School Directors in the North Ward re
solved to recommend to the citizens aqancrease
the school tyx, at tlie time & refers to,; (I may be
wrong as to; date, but not as to the fact,) did their
not employ a person to go round and teir down the

in order tha4 the heavy tax payers should not seje
them 7 Were they fearful that men ii moderate
circumstances Svould voto against 7 Cck

the “wealthy men,” who send their'(children tjo
the ComiuqjjaScbool* (7> would throw iL their baj

possible. Who then did they fear 7 1 could answer
Ibis question; but I have no desire tq. got into ta
controversy with Z., a« 1 am sure hr ami I sgTiir

TliSt thc whole interior portion of the earth, or at
least a great part of it, is an igneous portion of
melted rock, agitated by violent winds, though 1
dare not affirm it, is still rendered highly probable
by the, : phenomena of volcanoes., The-facta* con
nected with: their eruptions bavebeen ascertained
amlplaccd beyond dispute. How, then, are they
to be accounted fort Tlfe theory prevalent some
years'since, that they are caused by the combustion
of immense coal-beds, is perfectly puerilo, and is
entirely abandoned. AH the coal in the world
woujd never afford fuel enough'for a single capital
exhbitioh of Vesuvius., We must look higher than
this | and 1 have little!doubt that the whole rests on
the &dtioniof electric and galvanic principles,'which
are constantly in the earth. We know that when,
certain metals are brought together, powerful elec*
triemetion is evolved, and a light is produced, supe*
rioriefen in effulgence to the light of the-sun.—
Now, if s small arrangement produces such results,
what may we not expect from the combinations of
those: immense beds of metal to be found in the
earth-? Here we have the key to all the grand phe*
nomcnj of volcanic action. * An illustration on n
small scale may be seen in the thermoleclric bat

From the Ihtanico' Medical Reporter:
Human Magnetism*
An Important Cure. —Na th ani eIC n 1 craah, of Rip*
ley, about sixteen years ago received an inju 7 upon
his brain, which produced complete insanity that
lasted for more that) a year. Under medical treat
ment he became partially relieved—bat from that
time onward he was subject to return of derange
ment, every month, that would usually disqualify
him fof business from one to two weeks.
Ode year ago, last .August, Prof. Smith, of Jeffer
sonville, lad., was delivering a course <-f lectures
in Jtipley,' bn Humao Magnetism. Mr. C., prompt
edbjr curiosity, merely, presented bimself, with oth
ers* to be magnetized. Atthc third sitting he pass*
fully into the magnetic state, and soon .became
quite susceptible to the influence; before the course
'©Hectares, was concluded ho had one of his periods
cal returns of derangement; From what had. been
the lectures about the healing properties of
magnetism; some of Uie friends of the afflicted were
curious to have a trial tuadcinthis case—Mr. Smith
wai sent for, and on his arrival - found Mr. C. per
fectly insane and speechless— were feeble
and less than twenty beats to the‘minute—his hands
an<fc feet were os cold as icicles and his whole body
trehtbled as if shaken by a fit of ague. Thirty or
forty!persons were gathered around, much alarmed,
and some in tears. A number of physicians were
pnfsCnt, just ready to exhibit the “life giving effects”
of thp lancet.
Prof. Smith requested them to Suspend operations,
and <lhe patient should be cured in.a few minutes,
without torture, and without medicino. All with
draw from tho room except the physicians, and a.
few relative* nml friends. Immediately, Mr. C. was
pul into the magnetic sleep, and in a lew minutes
hi 4 whole system was calm and free from pain. The
physicians were then requested to examine his
ptdsfc, which were still faint and stow, but in two
mfnutos more they we'ro raised hy the operator to
and forty-five beats to the minute. The
good doctors examined orer and over to see if there
might not possibly be some mistake or collusion.
The pulse was reduced to seventydbur to the
minute, and the doors were opened to largo collec
tions of men, women, and children, anxious to wit
ndsfelhe triumph or downfall of magnetism in Hop-
Icy. After a few appropriate remarks, and in leas
w/nufes from the tune .Mr. Smith com
mence 1 his operations he restore*! Mr. C. to the
state, completely cured. The next day he
was'at his worif ,and from Unit day to this he has not
had; one symptom of bis usual returns of insanity.
Ifis hcaith ih other respects has been better than at
any Other time during the previous fifteen years. Ho
has, however, occasionally been magnetised during
jear.
THE OITION.
ancient Egyptian* paid religious homage to
th<j heavenly bodies, at the same time reserving su
perior tokens til’ adoration for the sun, which was
thei£arch idol, and to whose.worship, as well as for
the purpose of observing the motions of which, the
Egyptian pyramid* were built and devoted. It was
uud£r the reverentially repeated pame of on—the
being —that thr same Dqity, the sun, was known by
th« duplicated title oK-i-oa—the Being, the One,the
Being. This ha* given occasion to those whose ob
ject -was to cuquiic into the real meaning of things
us jlsttlc n* possible, to accuse the Egyptians of wor
shipping onions, whereas they only regarded these
a*yvmholsof the solar system which they worship
peil* The onion received that Egyptian name from
<|urtou* analogy, that if you cut it through hori
zontally, each section presents a resemblance of the
Mj&tcro —the sun in the centre, and the orbits
of’tHe planets revolving round it, inukiug up the
substance of the root. Thus, whenever we mention
the name of this little bulb, we express the dupli
cated ineffable chartnwood of the ancieht Egyptians,
esteemed by them in its simple form on (of which,
-to.r thc Hindoo aum or cm may te a variation) as
ttyi most sacred imaginable.
A DIT OF HI’MOR
iWc do not relish truth the less for being occa
sionally spiced with a little humor. The following
extract from the report of a committee on Hogs,
read before an Agricultural Society down east,”
contains some excellent hits :
‘\Agaiu : Some folks accuse pigs of being filthy
in their habits, andL negligent m their personal ap
pearanre. But whether food is best eaten off the.
ground, or from China plates, is, it eecma to me,
merely a matter of taste arid convenience, about
which pigs and .men may honestly differ. They
ought, then, to be judged charitably. At any rate,
pigs; are not filthy enough to chew tobacco, nor to
poidoo their breath by drinking whiskey. And as to
their personal appearance, you don’t catch a pig
playing the dandy, nor the females among them
picking their way up this muddy a rain,
in Ikhl slippers.
Notwithstanding their hetreodox notions, hogs have
softie excellent traits of character. If one chances
to fallow a little deeper in some mire hole than his
fellows, and so carries off and comes in possession
of-more of this earth than his brethren, he never
asku.mes an.extra importance on that account; nei
thorvare his brethren stupid enough to worship him
for'jt. Their only question seems to be, is he still a
hog? If he is, they treat him os such.
And when a Kog has no merits of his own, he
never puts on aristocratic claims any partic
ular respect on account o* his family connections;
anft yet somc Hocs have descended from very an
cient families. They understaud, .full well, the
common sense maxim,‘every tub must stand upon
its own bottom.* **
Crushed AflSeetlons*
. .How many suffer unrequited affection f They are
attached strongly to thosif who return them cold
words, indifferent looks, and even avoid their pres-
A word "that mightnot otherwise be noticed,
often rinks deeply in the heart of one whose life is
bound up in another. Where an object if cherished,
is watched with solicitude, and a smile
gives exquisite pleasure, while a frown sends a dag
get (o the heart. There is no greater sin than to
crush those warm affections gushing freely from o
generous heart. It dries np the fountain of the sou?
-r-foaes the smile on the check, and casts a shadow
bright nnd glorious prospect. Draw near
to the heart that loves you, return the favors receiv-
if you cannotlove in return, be caicful not
to bruise it or break it: by a careless word an—unkind
expression or an air ol indifference.

Industbial t-citoOL— Tliis is a movement in
which our citizens, without respect to-sect, party,
or sjmculative opinions, must unite. It is trio late
to argue in favor of the advantages of combing La
bor, Science; Art and Literature,, in one grand sys
tem of Education: On this-Bnbject, tliere'arc no
dissenting voices.
We will state that the effort has been commenced,
apd we believe, before another year, the school will
he organized and established. Some gentlemen
have met a t.d drafted a charter, which will no doubt
be passed by the Legislature. It is to organize a
joint slock company, with a capital of $50,000 —
the Governor to issue letters patent on $lO,OOO,
being-subscribed. With the latter sum, llie-institu-
tion can be started, upon good circumstances. It is
proposed to establish it a few miles from the city.
A farm wiii be bought, buildings erected, stock,
implements, Ac.; Sic., furnished, suitable for the
gratification of the Industrial instincts' of children
of both sexes. A physician will be resident there,
to care for the health or all., bath houses will bo"
furnished ; the food will be of the most wholesome
selection from the markets of the world. Languages
will be taught nraUy. Families of French, German
Italian, Ac., will be pat into the buildings; whose
business it will be to teach the living languages, by
speaking to children only in those tongues.
We have the authority of experienced teachers in
saying that at the age of sixteen, a boy ora girl may
be madeperfect .in a half adoxea langnages, all the
sciences, the arts, congenial to his or her tastes, and
have good healthy bodies, by a few years residence
in such an institution.
' The grand object will be to develops, and, bring,
oat, all that is in man—to make' portions, at least,
of the next generation, healthy,-rounded characters,
l*" e ® from physical deformities and diseases, wiih the
social and intellectual-passions, trained to tend to
the respective destinies each one is to fulfil in the
world. There is nothing visionary in ail this. It
can be accomplished in any country, by any. peo
ple ; only give then; the moans and a knowledge of
the correct systems! The plan belongs to no sect,
or part/, a school of philosophy; a/l who sludy cdu
cation advocate it, and the aid and encouragement
of people of every degree in society have been prom
ised in Ilia present effort to establish such a school
in the neighborhood of Pittsburgh.
On Friday evening, there was quite a respectable
meeting in Temperance Hall, of persons who came
together to carry out the great measure. Mr. Alien
gave his view, in a popular manner. life was fol
lowed by Mr. Fonvaid, in a very energetic little
. speech, in which lie asserted (hat ihere was no such
tiling as education now—“ we have no educated
men.” He was satisfied lhat the plan oi the pro
posed Industrial School was the only one by which
whole men could he made; we are now all frag
ments of men; none sailed for the duties which de
volve upon u». Industry is the first branch oredu
cation ; languages should be taught orally, Ac.
Ilisvcmarks wero received with great applause.
Other meetings will bo called soon, to which tho
public, ladies particularly, aro invited to attend.

Woman’s Love . —We would not give a straw for
the lave of a fashionable, novel-reading yoong'wo
tnan. What is her love? Idle nothingness. She*
never dreams of anything but rosy cheeks, bright
eyes and splendid forms. The heart, the character,
the disposition, have nothing to do with her opinion.
She loves the outward appcarancey-the (bppish dress,
.and the fashionable ball-room manners. Noted is
the pure love of the inda*trious, timid girt. Her
love emanates from the heart, and when hcr.affec
tions are drawn out yon will find an object worthy
of them. You will not be dazzled by dress or books
—the heart hlohe will convince you that her love is
not thrown away; Give ns the. respect and love. of.

—and you aie welcome to the tinsel and glare, the
admiration aud praise, of the ball room coquette.
