• Iti curt of Cblldhoodi
It is absurd, then, to array Socialism against
Christianity. The former can be viewed only as
the handmaid of the latter; as- the means to
straighten ; the paths, smooth the rough places,
and prepare the ground of the human mind for the
full reception of Christian influence. If you gath
er np.the children from the streets, set them at
work jn the shop, the farm, the school; keep them
always' occupied under the eye of watchful guar
dians of their behavior and morals, superadding
daily Christian instruction, and continue such die
ciplihe until after puberty, is it to be supposed that
they'Will be less likely to lead virtuous or Chris
tian lives than if they had bean left to run the
town at large, or to mope at home after a few
hours'mere book'Stodying at school? Will they,
because they live under one roof—because they
work in classes or groups, at vanonß in and out
door transactions—because they are guarded from
temptation and mutual encroachment by kind at*
tendants—will they, from all thiß,be less suscep-
tible of chustian teaching—less easily moved by
appeals to the higher feelings—less able to fate
what they learn, than if left in the city, to be
either scolded at home for misbehavior, (which
often means playing too heartily,) or allowed to
battle with rudeness and vulgarity in the streets?
Assuredly not! The same conditions, however,
or similar, that favor a virtuous and religious de
velopment in children, willdoit in adults. Hence,
if men were in like manner to chnuge the outward
form Of their industrial relations, if, in place of
competition, isolation and divided interests, they
would substitute combination and co-operation ;
if, instead of living upon each other’s wants, they
would live by the satisfaction of those wanta
through onited action in associated communities,
where material interests were harmonized, real es
tate, tools and machinery held in joint stock, and
the profits of united labor divided according to an.
agreed method; where every person could at will
take his turn In the field, garden or workshop, thos
varying his, employment,, and mingling every
where with different groups of friends; where .the
mere physical wants of food, clothing and shelter
would be extinguished in abundance, and time af
forded by a hundred kinds or now unapplied labor
saving machines, for intellectual and social cul
ture; would human life, under such conditions, be
less receptive of religious influence, and less dis
posed to Christian practice, than if spent as it is
now by the great- mass of men, in a ceaseless
straggle against time—for mere physical suste
nance—and where all the activity of others is bat
a perpetual stimulus to one’s own selfish fears of
being out-run, or jostled aside, m the genera]
scramble for wealth, and where a man ts forced
to ba selfish in spite of himself, or turn pauper ?
By no means either —no truly! Take an animal
or a child—confine it—tease it—repress its natur-
id activity—stimulate thus its lower, selfish na.
tare constantly, and yon will make the animal un
tamably savege, and the child or man dehumaai<
zed and almost unchristianizable. The case is
not bo very different with human beings now.—
Children, in cities, as was said, hare their natural,
healthy instincts thwarted on almost every side.—
Neither. the parents nor the community make,
nor can make, sufficient provision lor their wants,
and they ore left too much to the uncontrolled pas'
alone-and., contamination of each other; Then,
when grown up, thick and fast crowd on them the
cares and harassing struggles for their own main*
tenence, or that of dependant families ; from the
cradle to the grave it is one continued worry and
battle -against a host of outward conditions, most
adverse to the expansion of the loitier and holier
elements of human nature ; adverse, because they
lock a man up 10 self, and wall him out from oth
ers with the wants of self, through the difficulty
of satisfying them even when bare necessities. —
Considering all this, the wonder is, not that there
is so much evil, but so much good yet tn the world,
and that it has not all been crushed out of man,
and the Divine likeness in him obliterated past all
capacity of restoration.
But to return from this digression and criticism
of city childhood. The associated community or
communities, into which we have supposed one of
our cities to be resolved, having by the “ combi*
nation of all for the welfare of each,” provided, as
stated, for their common health, collective indus
try and commerce, would next, in the capacity of
parents, make ample provision for the children.—
The regenerated city would probably have its
dwelling portion, (consisting of a few large um»
tary edifices like mommoth hotels or palaces,)
situated in the centre of an ample tract of conn*
try or domain, with extensive gardens and parks
in its immediate vicinity. At a suitable distance
might be placed the industrial department, com
prising some dozen or two of large and commo
dious work shops, and somewhere intermediate
could be located the children’s establishment, con*
sisfing of school bouse* shops, garden and play
gronndß, with every requisite fixture, as a gymna.
sium, &c-, for their healthy exercise and amuse*
meut, when not engaged in earnest work. They
would be constantly under the care and direction
of superintendents; and the parents living and
working always near, could, when not themselves
acting as such superintendents, have them almost
under their own eye, and within call at all times;
and wonld know where they were, and what do.
ing at any given hour, if indeed that were neces*
sary, when every parent would feel sure that his,
children, being always employed and overlooked,
could be in no mischief. Then the evening and
meal-time re-unions of parents and children at
their own private apartments, would impart a
new strength and zest to the sained family tie,
from a consciousness among all, father, mother,
brothers and Bisters, that each had his or her ener.
gies folly empowered in usernl toil, and enjoyed
the mutual approbation and sympathy of each
other, arwell as the dne appreciation of their ca*
pacifies by the entire community. Yes, children
in such a united- community, amidßt constant ex
citements to virtue; and preventives from vice,
would live and move in an atmosphere of peace,
contentment, love and calm satisfaction, arising
from well directed activity, compared with which
the city life now led by them would be felt to be
a perfect purgatory.
Such is a most faint and imperfect outline of
what Socialism, Christian Socialism, or the “Com*
bination uf hll- for the- welfare of each," would
do if applied, not, partially, as now, in city, water
orgas works, &c., bat to.every work and want of
men tb wKct it can be- applied. AH this will
doubtless .be called very fine theorizing, castle,
building in the air.&e, but if Human Progress is
a fact the day will come, and that before longi
when’a united community, fully carrying ontthe
above principle, will be seen in successful opera*
t,on. The sign* of tbe times indicate too evi«
denfiy, end in too-many modes to be mistaken*
the approach of unity of interests among men—
The march of fane Socialism cannot be stayed—
Jts moat bitter enemies we aiding it unconscious.

Canal Commissioners, which is to be replaced by a I
single iraperintendent overy three (years, invested I
with all the powora and functiahs ol the Board as I
now constituted, and empowered to discharge any |
other duties imposed upon him by the law. The I
Superintendent is to bo sworn or affirmed, and shall I

or is restricted by a clause, preventing the appoint- I
mem of a Supervisor of Repairs on the Columbia I
Railroad, and the Allegheny Portage Road. He is I
further authorised to appoint a Secretary at Sl6OO 1
per annum. I
The duties of tho snpermtoudoat are minutely dos-1

quired to make an annual report to the Legislature
of the receipts and expenditures of every line and
division, including motive power, and all receipts
and expenditures.
1 The bill provides for the establishment of a,Rov

Special Correspondence of the Morning Post.
H-i.naisßTTDG| March 8j 1851.
My Dear Post .- Saturday afternoon, with all
such agreeable associations as it has borne to the
mind, wearied by the labors of the week, since
our schoolboy days, has once more settled grace
fully down upon üb. We have not for two or three
dayß had any thing of importance in the way of
legislation to write about, hence we have beeh in
a great measure left to our reflection-. You will
pardon me, then, for this time, if I write you a
kind of outside, extra-legislative letter, if, at the
same time, I connect it in some manner with the
affairs of Representative dignity.
The Free Banking bill lies upon the files m
sfolu quo An argument has been made in the
Senate against its constitutionality, and an effort
in the House to make it the special order for this
day two weeks; the last met with a signal fail
ure, and the former is now under serious consider*
ation—in my opinion, awaiting the same fate.
Tho constitutional restriction relative to Bank
and other corporations, does not reach a general
law which confers the some privileges upon all
the citizens of the Commonwealth; but was in.<
tended, very wisely, to guard against the reckless
granting of special and exclusive rights to a few
individuals, which are thereby denied to others.
The contemplated or proposed Free Banking law,
by reason of its general character, cannot be said
to be interdicted by the clause in the Constitution
which was only intended to apply toprwaf*, local
and special. It is believed that the associations
contemplated in thiß law do not come under the
head and description of corporations, by the doc
trine of the common law ; but it is clear that the
question of constitutionality does not turn upon
that point, but that even should they possess the
essential properties, qualities, powers, or charac
teristics of a corporation,-under the technical defi
nitions of the common law,-still they are not the
kind of corporations contemplated in the restrict,
ive article in the Constitution. But it is submit
ted that tho common law definition requires one
characteristic, at least, which these associations
cannot be said to have, viz.: the special grant, the
private franchise, that exclusive privilege which
gives the obnoxious character and the odious rep.
utation and memory to what are properly called
corporations.
Bat I must give you a word or two more upon
the late excursion to Washington City, and the
later results growing out of the same.
An attempt has been made by a peculiarly mot
ral and pattern-like portion of the Philadelphia
Press to bring a “soft impeachment- upon the
late agreeable and well conducted trip of the Penn'
•ylrama Legislature; and one reason can at once
be assigned for it, which to the initiated will bo
sufficient, if not satisfactory. And what do you
think it is, my dear Post > Why, simply because
the special train did not run through the Quaker
City- Nothing else, believe me—unless it be that
the power of steam in this caso carried said train
beyond the limits of her right-angled importance.
This is the real cause of the moral uneasiness of
eertain Philadelphia political moralists, relative to
this matter; and no doubt their Christian equi
librium and equanimity is troubled a little with
•the fact-that the great Glasgow Excursion,-to
gether with the very unexceptionable Festival at
tending it, were so cast in the shade bv ttte com
placent, free-hearted and gentlemanly Baltimore
ans. The superior management, from beginning
i to end, of the Baltimore Excursion, most certainly
I brought a total eclipse upon the glory of the
I Glasgow; and how could the meekness, modesty
| and piety of the patriotic, liberal and self-sacnlic
i mg City of Philadelphia endure all this 1
i But the past, with all its incidents and acci
[ dents, is beyond our control—fixed and unalterable
i forever! Selahl
Col. Magraw, the accomplished President of the
i Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad, who had
the immediate charge of the programmatical ar
rangements of this never-to-be-forgotten Legisla
tive holiday Besson, is a brother of the favorite
Harry Magruw, of your City; and there is no
pulse in the blood from which they spring to be
outdone in any thing they undertake. To the
winning manners, unmistakeable judgment, and
unsurpassed goodness of heart Daturally belonging
to the Colonel and worthy Piesident, the Pennsyl
vania Legislature, and their friends who accompa
nied them on this Excursion, aro greatly indebted
for the entire satisfaction, safety and delight which
they enjoyed.
So far as the effect of these Legislative excur
sions over the great lines of improvement and
natural channels of our extensive Commonwealth
are concerned, they will go to advance the inter
ests of the People at large, whether these great
lines go through Quakerdom or not. It is the
duty, as well as the advantage, of the representa
tives of the people of -Pennsylvania to become
acquainted with the locality of all theso great
thoronghfares, and with the real relation and
bearing they sustain to the public welfare. It
were better would our Legislature travel over all
our Public Works, canals and railroads, from one
end of the State to the other, and even through
the broad valleys and along the noble rivers which
Heaven has marked out upon our domain for
great-and perhaps yet undiscovered purposes—
instead of sitting nnder the inevitable decrees of
Philadelphia selfishness and arrogance, legislating
at her will, and m the dark.
With these last remarks upon tne late Excur
sion, I eubsenbo myself, as ever—not “Ion," nol

I ant," but “ that member or two," FRANKLIN

Another Batch of 31. D.'s Created.
A eorrcspondant of tho Now York Herald, in wri
ting from Philadelphia, undor date of Bth ioet, says:
Tho Jefferson Medical Collogo, tho most flourish
mg of our institutions for turning out professors of
the healing art, has just awarded diplomas of M.
D. to 225 ont of us 505 matriculants. Tho Umver.
sity commenoomont is fixed for tho flth of April,
whon about 160 students will graduate. This wil
make a total of 470 doctors croated this winter by
the fivo colleges located hero, including 29 by tho
hoomopathists, or dealers in diminutive doses.—
Amon" tho graduates to-day wore Thomas J. Moa*
chom,"M. D.,and ChOB. G. Pomroy, ,M. D-, of Now
York, who received tho ad entmdem degree. Tho
following gentlemen of Now York also graduated:
Douglas Bly, Elisha G. Burnett, Thos. B. Collins,
Jus. W. Craig, Frederick Gears, M. D., T. Roraeyn
Huntington, John C. Mutteson, DeWitt C.Mclntyre,
OscarF. Parker, J. Richmond Pratt, and Edward P.
Tollum. The degree of L. L.D. was conferred up*
on Judge King, tho Preoidont of tho institution.
Pbihtebs’ LasntJAOE.—Every professional trade
has us technical terms,- and of course tho printers
also have a “ smattering” which is intelligible only
to tho emit. Tho following is a specimen; it don’t

uninitiated: ‘‘ Jim, pat. General Washington on tho

commenced yesterday. Set up the rums of Hercula

’ ihst runaway match; have the high water in the paper
this week. Let the pioalooe till alter dinner, put the
barbsene to press, and then go to the devil, and he
will tell you about tho work for the morning.” Not
much wonder that Dr. Faustus was burned, for invent

And the Council adjourned,-
We are natural: believers, Truth, or the con
nection between cause and effect,'alone interests
ns. We are persuaded that a thread runs through.
all things: all worlds;are strung on it, as beads :•
and-men, and events, and life, come to ns, only
because of that thread : they pasa.and repass, only
that we may know the direction and continuity of
that line. A book 'or statement which goes to
show that there is no tine, but random and chaos,
a calamity "obt ofnothing, a prosperity ....and no.
account ot it, a hero born from a fool, a fool from
a hero,—dispirits us. Seen or unseen, we believe -
the tie exists. Talent makes counterleit ties;
genius finds the real ones. We hearken to the
man of science, beennse we anticipate the sequence
n natural phenomena which ha uncovers. We
love whatever Affirms, connects, preserves ; and
dislike what:scatters' or pulls down." One man
appears whose nature is to all men’s eyesconserv
ing and constrnctive: his presence supposes a
well-ordefed-eoeiety, agtlculture; trade, large insti.
-tutions, and empire.: If thess did hot exißt, they
would begin to exist throagh his: endeavors.—
Therefore, he cheers and comforts nnen, who feel
nil this in him very readily. The nonconformist
andithe rebel: say nit manner of onahswerable
things against the existing republic, but discover
to our sense no plan of house .or state; of their
own. Therefore, though the town, and state, and
way of living, which oor couhsellor contemplated,
might be a very-modest or musty prosperity, yen
men rightly go lor him, and reject the reformer,
bo long as he cosoea only with axe and crowbar, |
