J WAIGHT. Sandy Flill, Washington county, N. Y. The confikisition of Dr. Taylor's Ilalsam of Livor wort is only known by the Proprietor, therefore it is dangerous upipg any but that from 375 Bowery. WE hereby certify that our son 6 years of age, was suddenly taken with a fever. and after a severe sick nese a violent cough ensued. He was bloated; his skin was filled, and his physi cian said there was no favorite symptom about him, that he had a confirmed consumption. At that time, we procured a bottle of that valuable medicine, Tty lor's Balsam of Liverwort. After taking one bottle we began to have hopes of his recovery. He cocain edruntil he had used five bottles. It is now a year from that lime,and his health is better than it has been since an infant. DAVID& lIANNAIT ROGERS, Granville, Washington co.- N. Y.

The calm and the quiet are not for me— love'the storm of the billowy sea ; And the spirit withshich my own would roam. Must be wild as the wave with the highest foam Away with the. timid and shrinking soul! I love not that - which can court contr. , ' ; But fearless and free must that young heart be, That o'er can awaken fond memory. Oh give me the passion that knows no fear; • The flashing nye in its, language clear, And the burning tone with its words to bless, My-heart in its fancied loneliness. Gashing and Wild as the stormy main, Is the love I covet and yet would gain ; ,Long may the search be and slow to bless, Yet who would not toil for such loveliness. ,There is eloquent thought in the kindling eye, A dream of bliss in the full drawn sigh ; And a rapturous jav in the burning cheek. That can never belong to the mild and meek The rush of the torrent defies all rule, And laughs in its scorn at the quiet pool; Reckless and wild must its young bride be, Or lonely it rolls io,its grave in the sea. Alas for "the frailty of human nature, that a name which in olden time belonged to, and was cherished by the pure patriots of a nation, should now be a term of scorn, and carry a sense of petty tricking to modern ears. We, who love to cher- ' ish the memory of our forefathers, and recall their deeds with pride and heartfelt gratification, can not help feeling humiliated as we see the lesson of their glorious example trampled under foot by the little mercenaries that cumber the earth the pres ent day, Ban the sincere lover of his country raise his head and look around him over the minds which control,its &mimes, without bowing it the next moment in shame and sorrow. Bright and noble spirits may be found struggling onward in the mesa, but who is it that wins the race'and lis tens to the Ewan I—the sycophantic slave—the thing that crawls and twines hie slimy track up... ward until he arrives at the giddy height of supre macy, even then too little for honest men to curse. Such amnia is he whom the worlitaround us terms a politician! Politicians are Aui genris in character, and ac cording to our method of classification should be distinctive from the rest of the human family. We do not call the sincere and ardent advocate of principle a politician—whateiEr be his politics that sincerity constitutes him s patriot anti honest man; We admire him, We apply the term of politicians, and we use it as a title of reproach and of moral degradation, to those creatures who fondle and cringe and around the public heart, knock ing for entrance, and backing itheir plea with k& m and whining professions o( lo re for its interests— men who form a nucleus for footsie gather 'round, and who are always the demigod 'of such a sense less circle—the wonder and the oracle of a few whom they control and govern.t Such men are to be found in tippling shops, or gathered round the stove in the crowded bar room, and can always he recognized by a greasy coat, ,a low expression of cunningness, and a dogmatical tone; they are the whiPpers,in of the general hunt, and each receive their per diem. . . Then we come to another clefs of politicians, whom we measure by the same scale a few degrees above the genus we have jurit touched upon.— Those gentry desire to insert their digits into the public pocket, and being withal a little infected with " that last infirmity of noble rainds,"' feel ambitious of sway. They covet some foundation or excuse for the immense conceit which puffs them up well nigh to bursting, and are anxious to betray the masa into reverence for their mighty powers. Perhapetheir longing eyes rest upon the vacant seat of a Judgeship, or soma executive county office. Then it is that their grovelling na tures step out and lay bare to the inspection of the calm observer, the claims which entitle them to our classification. They suddenly become pro fuse and liberal—profess an utter and sovereign contempt for offices and aristocrats, and are the firm and unflinching friends of the mechanic and labourer ! The whippers-in are called together, bargained with and schooled, and the pliant pub lic furnishes the contract. So might we go on step by step, until we arriv ed at the pinnacle, and show our readers that the same principle which impelled the lowest, governs tho highest in the scale, We speak only of the leaders of a pasty, which professes democracy, and we have drawn a picture which, is familiar to all who chose to make the applicalon. Look at our own district, ausl the original If this sketch pre sents itself forcibly to the rear. May we not well b!ush for the fair fame ofor Republic, when we reflect upon the possibility f such creatures influencing its destinies.

Politicians. . From the N. Y. Sunday Mettury SHORT. PATENT SERMONS. The words of my telt may be found somewhere, as follows: Fleas have other fleas to bite 'em, And so go on ad infinitum. Vly heerers—you are all probably aware that bi ters often get bitten; the people not nnfrequently fall 'into the very pits which they dig for others; and that he viho speaks evil of his neighbor is sure to be spoken evil of himself. The spider eateth the fly—the fish will eat the spider—the fish-hawk catcheth the fish—the 'eagle masteretli the hawk —the sportsman shouteth the eagle—. Death de. vowed] the sportsman—and the' Almighty bath power over Death and me devil. It does'eertnin iy appear that there is none upon earth so mighty but, some one can be found who is mightier; end as wicked as one individual may possibly be, some reprobate wearing the humanform divine can be seared up who is even still-wickeder. Well, my friends, this is all- es it should be; for, without this variety, theanuaie of the moral world were one dull and monotonous tone—Apough to give the fe ver aind ague's fit of laxineli). and render a glass -of soda water too stupid to efferveise. All the rough and discordant sounds that echo from hith er to thither are produced by the voice of Nature; and the voice of Nature is the voice of God, which: although it sometimes speaks in mighty thundery yet speaks in love. The ever-rolling waves give beauty and sublimity to the ocean—the high Lills and the deep valleys add lowliness to a landscape' —and the irrregularities that exist among the hu man race make a picture of perfect uniformity, e ven as all discord, as my friend Pope says, is hare moray—but not understood by those who have no more an ear for music than a rabbit has a tail ex pressly for the purpose of brushing off flies, My dear friends—although everything in this world is made just about as it should be, still man, being a free 'agent, endeavors daily to make Im provements upon himself—and yet as he progres ses intellectually, ho retrogrades morally. Ambi tion and a thirst 'for praise, perturb not only his own peace, but often, too often, that of hie fellow creatures around faith ; and yet be finds that while with pompous tread he makes disturbance among the ants of industry, he is et the same time mol ested by annoying insects that;hurz and bite with impunity. *Piide lays the egg of envy, which hatches out slander; and you may depend upon it, my beloved brethren, that if you slander your fel low mortals you will be slandered by.the slander ers of slanderers. The dorsafregions of backbiters are kept continually sore by the infliction of fresh wounds from those behind them . ; and there is no position in society so high but the poisoned ar rows of calumny may reach. The loftiest pinna cle of lame is accessibly to reptiles that delight in devouring each other; and the serpents of sin cast their smile among the flowers that bloom upon the heaven kissing hills of renown, as well as those thatilourish in the voles of obscurity. You are all related to each other by consanguinity; and you ought to feel bound to assist your brothers in blood in days of toil and times of trouble ; but Oh! to see how you pounce upon the helpless, take ad vantage of the weak, and pilfer the last penny from the poor, is enough to sink the boort of a christian into the seat of his trowscrs. My hearers—don't be like the bed bugs that suck stolen blood from the bowels of one another ; but let every man eat of the bread ho has honest. ly earned, and add, if possible, a mite to his en joyment. Push others along the path of prosperi ty—act friendly towards your foes—and Heaven will bestow uriau you its richest of blessings; but, if you bite, foe must expect to be bitten—for, as my text says, Fleas have other fleas to bite 'em, and be that would wantonly set dogs upon the do. ers of righteous deeds must expect to be barked at, to say the least. To be happy yourselves you must use your utmost exertion to increase the hap piness of those around you. Your hearts must be influenced by moral motives, and inclined to virtuous deeds. Just open the windows of your hearts, and let in the light of heavenly wisdom, and every earthly object that seems beclouded by sot row, will be surrounded by the golden halloo of joy. That mercy which you measure out to the eons of misfortune will be meted to you by Provi dence while contending with adversity, affliction, and the innumerable ills that beset a poor mortal on his pilgrimage to the tomb. , If you rob your brother of the roses that grow in the garden of his heart and transplant them to your own, they will soon wither away, and leave nothing but •thorns behind. You must cultivate yhur, own soil, and never more think of reaping from ktreign fields.— Sow the seeds of wisdom in your youthful ditys, and you will gather a golden harvest of happiness in the autumn of age. Worry fbe weak worms'of misfortune as much as you may ; the moths of mis ery will continue to est through your 'mortal gar ment till you are rocked to sleep in the cradle of the grave—and even there you will be troubled with worms, despite the potency of Sherman's loz `engers, or the vermifugo of Feuchtwanger. My hearers—when circumstances war against you, why do you sting one another, like a nest of vipers when stirred up with a long pole I There is no more to be gained by it than there is in one's castigating one's.ovvn flesh with a cowhide to make it conform to the virtuous resolutions of the will. Bind yourselves together in the bonds of brotherly love--all pull in the same direction, and your yokes will be easy and your burdens light. Let the ce ment of fraternal love cause hearts — to adhere to hearts—let no link be broken in the bright chain of friendship—let your social walks be where the flowers of female loveliness shed their sweet fra grance abroad—and remember that, when Satan would induce you to speak evil of your neighbor, "Fleas have other Seas to bite 'em"—and that oat ore-bite considerably harder than some. So mote' it be ! Repaoov.—Reprove mildly andlsweetly in the calmest manner, in the gentlest terms; not in haughty or imperious way, not hastily or fiercelyri nor with sour looks, or in bitter language: for these ways do beget all the evil, and hinder the beet elfects of reproof ; they do 'certainly inflame end disturb the per reproved; they breed wrath, disdain and hatred against the reprover; but do not io well eciligbted a man to see his error, or of fect bim with kindly sense of his miscarriage, dispose him to correct his fault. Such reproofs look rather like the wounds and persecutions - of enmity, then as remedies administered by a friend ly hand ; they harden men much, they scorn to mend on such occasions. If repioof doth not ea vor of humanity; it signifieth nothing; it must be like a bitter pill, erupt in gold and tempered with sugar, otherwise it will not go Ilona or work ef .fecttlally.—Barroto's Sermons. 7", k Republica/aim of Public Schools. The Republican character of our American system of Common Schools, its value and impor tance, are strongly set forth in the followina Re port of a Committee at Hartford, Conn., of which Rev. Horace Bushnell is chairman, and.which wo find in tholast number of tho Connecticut Com mon School Journal : When,all the children of the most wealthy and influential families are withdrawn from the public school, it ceases, of necessity, to have prominence in the public eye, and draws no warm circle of expectation round it. It is not a mere charity school, in which we might feel the inter' este of charity, nor is -4t, on the other hand, is school dignifted by its prominence as a' cowmen centre; of education. It -is a half pauperized imic , pendency, which falls between all categories and moves us neither in,the way of respect nor be nevolence. The children feel themselves' to be enpriviledged in their attendance—and their pa rents have only a cold despairing interest in the forlorn eatatilishriaent to which they aro doomed to send them. How different the case, if they could see their sons and their daughters in the same school and class with those of the most dis tinguished families: engaged in a tile. of talent and good manners, to excel them; sometimes honored by public notice, at examinations ; passing at length, into a High school, whereby they are instructed in elegant learning and sci ence ; going home to speak at their simple table of the great facts of science, to discuss questions, or suggest tasteful thoughts. What a light and warmth would this give in the bosom of a poor family, or one just rising into character. How kindly would it bind the hearts of the parents to society, as a whole : how genii:A - the influence it would shed upon their humble walk. In such a case, the children are not trained to hate these a, hove them, but only to emulate them; because they now see there is justice and friendship for them, and that they are encouraged on all sides to aim at the highest excellence. Here, if we rightly understand, is the true spirit of conservatism. Our social constitution is republican, and is therefore to be conserved only in a republican way ; for that is conservation which holds the elements of society, its they are in good keeping. Republicanism permits dis tinction of rank and association, but not separa tion of rank; for separation is non-acquaintance, and that is too close . upon the verge of hostility. It grades a level of unity in which we must all stand together, though it suffers us to raise our heads as high in worth, talent, property and eve ry sort of eloquence as we may. There is no danger to our institutions as long as we do not separate. ei Many of our countrymen are afflicted with an indefinite horror of agrarianism, and the ris ing of the masses. We need fear no such results, until after thaundamental low is rent asunder by a virtual separation from the masses. But if we have not separation first, we must take agrarian ism afterwards, and it will come in terrible sub limity of revenge, to sweep down all distinctions of character, and overturn all vested rights. And here is the danger that most threatens us. It lies in the disposition too often manifest in our citi zens that have begun to be distinguished, espec ially in property, to withdraw from the masses, and nurses an upstart feeling of family. They 'put on affectations which are greatly in-advance of their station, and lay themselves out to be more distinct than our law of society permits. There needs to be more graceful and philosophic sub mission to this law, else we might expect that society will become embittered, and sundred into hostile fragments. in this view of the common school, meaning that which is actually common to all, is eminent ly republican and ought to be regarded as the strongest conservative influence; for here the children are put upon a footing together and brought into connection with their whole country. Private schools on the other hand, drawn into a distinct order and patronized by the wealthier classes, as neatly are much at war with our inMi- Lotions as they would have been with those of Lacedemon. They divide society et the root by an assortn;ient in the ranks of childhood putting the two parties into non-acsuaintaxico, and eternal repugnance. They are, therefore eminently un republican and dangerous. And, Perefore your committee feel that no undertaking can be of more serious consequences to our American cit izens, than to make our public schools so perfect in their _character, that all the ottizens will prefer them, and cluster round them to feel the bonds of a common interest, and inspire the children with a common desire of excellence. Nor should we omit to say that an education begun at the common school is, in many respects, better than a private school can yield. It does the children of higher families good, to sit on a level with the children of the lower, and if it must be so, to be surpassed by them. It makes them respect merit, delivers them of their impracticable conceits, add inspires them with a sense of jus tice. It is a great advantage also to know socie. ty. Hence the child wlio is brought up exclu- Sively in a private school, and does not know the people, is not qualified to act a part amongst them. Their feelings, prejudices, tastes, deficien cies are all unknown to hint. Uis knowledge is more exquisite than the world is, and his charac ter is practically unamericanized. Going info life N a statesman, or a lawyer, or in almost any other "opieity he will go under a decided disad vantage.- How small a thing is it, indeed to teach children the names of mountains and riv ers, and other things equally distant from them, when they do not really know their own. neigh bola and countrymen.

ABSTRACT Of the Report of the Superintendant of Common Tao whole number of school districts in the State, on the first Monday of June, 1842, exclusive of the city and county of Philadelphia, was 1113, the number of accepting districts paid during that year 005, the number of duets that reported 861, all gut 44 districts have rustle their annual report. Whole number of schools in reporting districts is 6116; number yet required, 554; average num ber of months taught in these schools, five months, nine days; number of male teachers 5176; fornales 2316. Average salaries of male teachers per month is $18.59, females $ll- 16. Number of male scholars 154,454; females -126,691, number learning Ger man 5141; average of scholars in eachschool 44; coat of tuition of esch scholar 1 273 per quarter. Amount paid reporting districts during the last school year is $226,629, school tax levied in those districts 386,177 31; whole amount paid accepting districts 838,162, whole tax levied in all districts as reported 398,766 40. Amount paid for instruction in reporting dis tricts for. that year 425,501 27,, for fuel and con tingencies. 41,044,05, whole amount for school houses 113.339 66. There is no method fat ascertaining the number of scholars in the State, except by reference to the census of 1840, nor will that give the number with great exactness, because under . the present provisions of the school law all above the age of four years 'can be admitted into the common schools. The superintendent is clearly of the opinion, that the provisions of the school law shoald be changed as to prohibit any ehild from entering the public schools till the age of five years, probably six would be better. Our Commonwealth was far 'advanced in pros- perity, when the government lent its kind aid to the advoca4s of public instruction by common school:: There were early and deep seated pre• judices to be conquered; but such has been the change that of eleven hundred'and thirteen school districts in the State (exclusive of Philadelphia) four fifths had accepted the school law in June last, and it is belived if the people ate encouraged by the government, within less than two years there will not `iis a non—accepting district in the State. Colleges, Academies and Female Seminaries By a resolution of the Legislature, passed in 1836, it is provided: "That on November, an nuially, it shall be the duty of each university, or college in the Commonwealth, to report fully on their respective c mdition. Nine colleges in the Commonwealth received , list year from the State Treasury $7378. Six only have made their annual report. In those, it appears, there are 381 students, and in the pre paratory departments attachtd to them 373 stn. dents. The number preparing to becoMe school teachers is and the number of4raduates 62. The medium price of tuition for each student is $22 33 per year., The annual expense per pupil, including board, is $l2O 64. The whole number of academics ia 65; the a mount thus received from the Treasury last year $16,001 80. But 39 of these have made their annual report. From those made: their number of pupils is 2103. 360 are preparing to become school teachers. The medium cost of tuition fur each pupil is $l5 31. The whole mitts; expense per pupil is $lO7 55. Of the female seminaries, but 18 have made their reports The whole number in the State is 41. These have received from the Treasury 13, 014 89, and the number of pupils in those insti tuitions that have reported is 800. The medium cost of tuition per year is 18 53, and the whole expenses per pupil' for-one year is ;32 go, „ The irosq amount paid to colleges, academies, and female seminaries, is 36,421 89. From all the information which hes been re ceived by the-Superintendent from the colleges, most of them are in a flourishing condigon. Some, however, are languishing for the want of support, end their number of students ill not on the increase; owing perhaps to the general depres sion of business. The colleges which have reported to this deport ment, ere Allegheny, ,Larayette, Madison, Igor ahall,-Penturylystriikand Washington. It appears from she report of tho 4oapd uf Cub. trotters, made in garcb lusts 1-hero - were tbeu three 4uodrea apd seven pupils in the High School. It also appears by the same report, that the num ber of pupiki attending the -public schools, was 27,808; the increase beyond former years was 4616. The total cost for rho instruction of the 27,808 scholars including the pupils of the High School, was $110,250: the average annual cost of tuition for each scholar, $3 97—an amount greaterthen this would be the expense for oneiluarter at most of the private schools in the State, showing moat conclusively, that while this course of education 'e the best, it is slap much the chacapest. The amount received from the annual Slate ep. propriation by the city and county p 1 T 1 1'9401016 for the year 1812. was $49,283 The grammar, secondary and primary schools lu the city end county of Philadelphis, ere in a tmitAlliatnishtng condition, and s highly respecta ble education can I)66l3th:sod bye youth Isrho.hqi neither the time nor inclination to prosecute tail studies farther than in one of their best gramma; ' _ .044; NO 8.
