April 7, 1519.
Tbe week has terminated, and none of the ru
mors, dissensions in tie cablet, changes, dwsoiu
lions, and other mtgtay event*: have taken place.
Things are going on in the qsuel and re special'*
manner in which Jt was expected, they would
proceed after the establubroehl ot' a new admufis
tration. One political seer, of a mdtj? far reaching
ken than any of his rivals in.tbe art of divination,
has discovered that Mr. Meredith id at issfie with
his colleagues, on the slavery question, and being
strongly committed to the principle*; of free *oii,
W3l only remain a member of General Taybris
Cabinet until the death of Chief Justice Taney
shall occasion a vacancy on the bench-of the
Supremo Court, which may be filled by h»s ap
pointment to that exalted station. This is a pru
dent prophet Mr- Taney has been, a valetudin
arian for thirty years, and being now only abouj m
ths sixtieth year of hi* age, la jail as likely to sur
vive l£e present administration and that of two or
three of its successors, as he was when appointed,
to live ont the terms of Jackson, Buren, and
Polk. 1 pretend to no knowledge of the facts
derived from the members themselves, and if 1
possessed such I could not profitably use it, but
from others whose positiou is such as to enable
them at once to perceive the effect of any difficul
ties in ihe Cabinet, if such existed. .1 learn Ibat
ail these stories are absolute inventions, originating
in the eagerness of the gossips for something new.
There have been protracted cabinet meetings,
I believe, every day this week, but they been
occasioned by a pressure of business incident to
evefs new administration.
So far as 1 have learned, the pent office and the
district attorneyship are the only offices in which
your community ore particularly interested which
have yet been filled. The posts of collector and
surveyor will probably be conferred upon shine
member af the whig party upon whom yonr citiiens
can generally unite. The place of collector t* now
of more than usual importance, ;because in ad
dition to his ordinary duties, that officer is pow
charged with the supCrintendenceo/lhe cons trac
tion and the expenditure upon the hospital now
in course of erection at Pittsburgh. 1 believe the
amount to be disbursed on that work, during the
current year, will not be lew than twenty thousand
dollars. I have been made acquainted with the
names and recommendations of some of thopro.
minent gentlemen from among wbdm the selectiou
will probably be made, and l have no doubt that
the appointment for each office when made will be
such as to satisfy the community * •.
h is said that Messrs. BulliH and;Sargent are
making arrangements to establish
a new whig paper, and that they will commence
the publication of it about the first of June. Mr.
QolliU is one of tbo accomplished editors of the
flew Orleans Picayune, and John U. Sargent was
well known daring the memorable contest oflS4o.
as the able and powerful working, editor of the
New York Courier and Enquirer. They will make
a powerful journal, but 1 think- it may well be
doubtmF whether thero ts occasion for another
whig paper at the seat of government, or whefher
the experiment of establishing-one. will wicbeed.
Already there is an addition to the Nauondl In.
teUigencer, which do one thinks of superceding—
the National Whig—conducted by Mr..'Soelhen,
which yields a prompt support to General Tnylor,
bis policy and measures. The enterprise of estab
lishing a whig journal iu such a city ns this is one
that involves the expenditure of $W>OO, which iu
the event of ultimate failure would be so much
capital utterly lost.
Mach interest centres m the Virginia elections.
Old Father Richie, as'Mr. Benton call* hun, insists
that the democrats will i carry all the districts but
One, which would be a whig loss of five, the dele
gation standing now six wings to nine democrat*.
There seems oo good reason why the whiffs should
not make a gain. The election of three democrats
in Connecticut was obviously owing to a cause
which can have no influence upon Virgtmq, or
11 exert any, that it n>' ,, ‘ feraratle to iho whig*;
namely, the union of the hunkers, wilff the flee

There are scattered through your review va

two of these, '‘the Bible must conform to modern
scientific discoveries, otherwise it» credential* of
□Ufaclea and prophecy will foil to establish its au%
Itjbrity.” Again, “Ifce brilliant results ot physical
science in our own age, have cherished a material*
irtic philosophy more than we are aware. We

(he cultivation ot the natural sciences in this coin*
munuy by loumling tbe old alarm to piety, but I
cannot go behind your word*, each i« ibetr effect.
Probably tbe alarm has coma too late to hare the
effect it once would have had. and often has had
in past ages. It may be, however, (hat ( ain mis
taken. it may be that other* believe as you would
seem to do, that the fjrealor has scattered deceiv

viciousiefts of mind that ibev must need* be gov

omnipotence of this authority. 7b seen on every

ness. both in Ins virtues and in ins vice*. It is
loachingiy exhibited when the Indian mother con

Christian mother of the early Church brought her
infant to the baptism ot' martyrdom, a precious of- |

I with which roan abuse* hia reason, rather than
Ibe found fighting against hi- ednaciehce. A* the
eyea of the body are only suited to see things in
perfect clearness by the light of the suu, so is
the vision of tiie romd perfect only in the light
of truth. Truth is the daylight of the soul, and
when she turns her back upon tfie orb ol day,
she gropes about by tho light- of earthly tire*.
Ignis fatuo*, which übintis only to mislead, light

Her favors she may Irestow-'on unworthy ob-1

for puv or plunder, but when the day of his ueed

love ot truth. We have the evidence of uin the

The view you appear to entertain of the material

It is not logical to illustrate the limne (iovernmenl

Let mu invite you, my dear air, to n higher view
ol nature, and of the study of nature, than you
appear to eniertam. We conceive of the Divine
Mind as every where preset}*, and animating eve
ry portion of his creation. There ejtiala no form
of matter whidh is doi at every moment the sib
jeot of rtiange and motion. The visible and tan
gible forms by which we are surrounded are ever
yielding their places u» new forms of creation, by
a slower or more rapod succession. By a success
sion of moments or of ages, what matter which 7
Ad absolme rest can no where bo found in lhc
wide universe. *The thoughts of the Infinite Mind
are ever pervading every part of the creation —
are ever olothiag themselves in visible forms. We
art* not in danger of being “buried under the lum
ber” of dead and passive toaUer—we are living
in a world of mind, of ideas and sentiments, of
which that which we call matter is nothing but

give .repression to Ibis feeling, by means of a cer
tain succession of musical notes* Does not the
painter seek to express aentuneou and ideas by
means of the shapes and colors which he sprehdn

Many of the inferior animals have a clear per
ception ol the outward forms of objects which pre
sent themselves to their senses, and are capable of
au umutelhgenl imitation of motions and sounds.
Thin faculty of blind imitation in also stroagly prom
inent in man during the earliest stage of infancy,
but gradually become weaker as the soul devel
oped its power of self direction and independent
thought. Then the blind imitative faculty gives
place to a higher kind of imitation, winch may
more properly be termed a reproduction. It is by
this higher imitation that man baa appropriated to
his ese the contrivances, and implements aad art-
ful machinery which he finds in surrounding na*
tore. Naked and unprotected, it taught Sim to im
itate the clothing of the lieasts, first with a view
merely to warmth, and afterwards to the variegated

judgment; and whether the actual infidelity which
is left after making this large deduction, baa not
owed Us existence to the follies and vices at’ the
Christian church, rather than lo any pernicious m<
fluenco of scientific studies on the mind. The
unspiritoal character of the Christian church and
worship, which has so often passed in the world
for Christianity; and the absurdities which those
most deeply versed in theological lore have so of
ten proclaimed to the world for the doctrine* oi
Christianity; however successfully these things
might be imposed on the ignorant multitude who
hare no knowledge to guide their fiulb, they could
not fail to disgust those higher minds who had come
to see and comprehend for themselves something
of God, and who had become so enamoted of tbe
hute living truth which they had found and tell, that
they could no longer make common cause with
sensuality and unreason, because forsooth it bad
put on the garb and trapping* of Christianity. Tho
gem they failed lo discover in the mat* of rubbish
which concealed it. The church has been slow in
recognizing that the union between science ao<l
rehgioo is a fair and natural alliance. A* the bright
and lovely manifestation of tbe Divine Nature m
tbe person of Jesus Christ has done much, and. by
the silent operation cf its sweet influences is still
doing much lo correct the uniorely features which
men in their theorizing on the character of tbe Su
preme Being have ever been proue lo blend m
strange discordance with the Divine perfections.—
and as men havo thus, m a measure, been saved
from the error ol their heads by the power of
Christ’* character on their heart*, so have we ia
viewing the manifestations of Clod in the outward
world, sight, fart and feeling, to aid u* in compre.
bending our Creator. And thus have we two gos
pels: Christ, tbe manifestation of God in the innrr
world of man; Nature, the manifestation of God
ui the outer world of the universe. In their union
aperfect revelation, but ncitheraionc complete and
adequate to tbe higlfesi elevation of the human
soul. Many theologian* have erred in neglecting
this outer revelation, many philosopher* have err
ed in neglecting that inner revelation. Tb®7 b flVe
stood in high communion with the God of Nature,
and the follies of men, like a thick cloud, have hid
from their eye* the great light wbioh Christ brought
into the world. But not of these have l>oeu the
wisest student* of Nature, and the biography of
oar race will l«e searched in vain lo find purer
■pecuneas of virtge, or such admirable instance*
a* the schools of acicoce will furnish, of that true
liberality, the genuine stamp ofa nobio mind, which
estimates with perfect fairneo the mistakes aod
weaknesses of other mind* I might instance Bn
con Newton, Franklin, Priestley,
Davy' Cavier, and a host of other* that were equal
ly imbued with the true spirit of their high vocation
And I will dismiss this topic, by again quoting
Kepler as an instance of noble liberality and irae
piety The’advice which he gives |he objector* lo
Copernicus *a bis day, i* eqoally applicablei to the
objectors »o Humboldt iu our own; though l beg
you will not regard it- for I certainly do not iniend it

my, ioo feeble minded to believe in Copernicus,
without prejudice to h.s piety,my advice to such a
one is. Ihat he ibumd quit the aatrooomiaal school,
and coudemmg, if he has a mind any or all of the
theories of philosophers, let him look to hi* own

A* to the stereotyped coor*« of college ciucn*
lion, advantages of which you have .set forth
with so much ability and learning, I have not one
objection to make ejeept that contained in the
report I am very glad tkeJ you have availed
youmell of this occasion lo recommend • course
of study which may be in danger oi fajling info
undue aegiect from this very movement m popular
education, wfoib you have also thought fit to op*
pose. Had you merely acted on the defensive
instead oi also on tho offensive you would have
had my beorty concuneoce and czKipezuifon. We
never provoked tho attack you have made upon
ua. We tgid nothing disparaging to college edu
cation. Neither coyjd you fairly infer from the
report that we intended lo ceded disciplinary
education in tbe proposed High School, jnd make
it uuwre “seminaryfor merchants, mechanics, and
manufacttiiw." “till lam not on,a of those who
believe that mental discipline must necessarily be
•ought in those studies aioao which have no im
mediate hearing on tbe duties of life. What you
toy of tho menial discipline afforded by the study
of language it very good. But you uoU admit
yourself, J think, Ihat the same kind of discipline
L afforded by tbe study of the German as of the
Greek language- And as to the highest ends lo
gained by (be study of the ancient language?,
you have admitted that they are reached by college
student* only in very rare instances, whereas l
conceive that by a far less laborious course ol
study, tbe student may be brought to appreciate
the gems of poetry, of oratory and philosophy, coo
tamed m the English and other modern languages.
AJeorapendiooa treatise containing the well estab
lished truths of intellectual and moral philosophy
should be a text book in every high school, but
unless a man is going to make metaphysics the
study of his l.le. nolbrng farther should be attempt
ed, tor to muster tbe subject of metaphysics, a ma-
ture and well disciplined intellect must be cootenl
to spend ten years m mysticism and inextricable
j>erplexity. with perhaps the satisfaction ol being
denounced at the end lor an inhdel. As to logic.
I have a very low opioioo of the advantage gener
ally derived by the students of our college# from
this study. I would give more for the influence of
one logical teacher than id one hundred teachers
of logic.. On the value ul mathematical studies
we are well enough agreed. Mathematics form
the basis ol the education in the »i ibtary oradenn
at West Point, winch you know has produced
mds ot high cultivation aud refinemcut
1 am not surprised from th*' low view which
you eutertam of the nature and importance ul ihe
physical sciences that you should think they
already receive a autlicirul share ol attention in
our eollegas and higher schools but l am surprised
that you should quote the cntnlogues in prowl id
this. You say ‘d we may judge Irom the cata
logues ofaggtr academies. IcniaJe seminaries and
colleger. ahd from the prolineney ol onr graduates

directly upon the point at issue If we look at then
pruticieury in .the physical science*. 1 think w«

know a professor of chemistry in another college

complains that the greatest difficulty he encounter*
•u the discharge of his duties, is when it comes to
the making of oxygen gas, and he probably wntci
on the oxygen page m his chemistry, htc lufat Hm

It has never before been our duty to publish *o

Biard Bi*bop, a yonng man of high standing in *O.
ciety. and of the moat respectable family connex
ions, was aliot down by Rev. Thomas J. Burrows,
a minister ol the Methodist Episcopal Church, sta»
lioned at Chestertourn, in this Stale. The eircum
'latice*, it seems, are ns follows: Burrow*, some
time during the pa*-t year, mamed at Sandy HIU, a
highly respectable lady, of considerable property,
named Holland, but this match was strongly up
jioeed by inauv of tli<* friend* sod relative* ol the
ot the lady. Among the Dumber who took a part

him. aud upon deceased's desiring to see it. we

remote onuses of an unpleasant feeling between
Burrow* and y •mu: Bishop—the immediate one. :t

money owing him by Burrows, when, as Burrows
alleges, hut id « boh there i* no proof. Bishop, in
railing upon him on morning of Friday, »oid,
