In 1S33 and 1839, mostof the States
went for tUo Wliigs or ngainst. .the
Administration under some other
name.
This prepared the way for the great
overthrow of Locofocoism by the com

In an evil day, under the syren song
of "nomocracy," in 18 14 the Adminis

the Free Trade or Southern party.
5y that party, the Black or British
Tariff of 1SK was enacted, under
which our country has again" suffered,
and now groans.
In lS5t5 twenty years the evil
effects of the Tariff were to some ex

at their last Election exhibited a magnan
imous, liberal and Christian spirit, which
should be placed to their credit. Had our

NY MOTHER.
I remember well the time wlin sorrow
and trouble were strangers to me when
my footsteps were watched by an ever
careful mother, whose sweet, melodious
voice, sounded like angelic strains of hea-
! venly icusic to my listening car.. Then,
I 1 was unaware of any responsibilities rcst-

summers passed over my young and inex-: "K""-" . M 3
perienced head, when a great change took ' 'n ,'ie l6,rlct-
place. Death entered our midst, and with I "WeI1" S"J3 ano,her' "l m -

cd an angel, and I lost a mother. In vain
have I since inclined my car to catch the
sound of those cheering words as they
dropped like honey from her lips. My
checks were no more greeted with the kis,
of tenderness and love of an affectionate
mother. Trouble and anxiety poured in
upon n.e-froni every side. I was thrown,
uuprotcctedd uncarcd for, upon a cold
and selfish world, without ono friend to

room, a speaking monument, and often
caused me ii .fl,ct upon past events.
I am now arrived at the age of manhood,
and am compelled to labor and toil for the
necessaries of life. On either side of me
are strange faces. Hope, and the fond re-
collections of the past, aro the oulv friends
I now can claim. "Mother" has long i
since departed, yet her memory is still
cherished her image is yet vividly en- j
graved upon my heart. Her words have
made an impression on my mind that can
never be erased. Nor can her kind admo-

"Distuict Institutes. A District
Teachers Institute is an association, in
each District .or luicmhip, composed of the
teachers and friends of education in it,
the object of which is, iu tbclrt; place,
mutual instruction in the branches requir
ed t. le taught in our Common Schools ;
and. in the second place, the discussion of
such subjects as have a necessary and iin-
mediate bearing upon the improvement of

Demand for Labor.
It is a bard and sorrowful thing, re
marks the Pittsburg Ditpatch, tbat men
who are willing and anxious to earn bread
for themselves and their families, should
be unable to obtain this privilege. When
one sees many wilfully and recklessly tri
fling away their time, and wasting money,
it makes tbe condition of the industrious
labor seeking unemployed seem still har
der. Xbere are ibrads of men in the
State, who have no employment who
daily seek and crave it in vain whose
means now scarcely suffice to provide the
plainest necessaries of life : and what is
their prospect for the winter T Can not
onr men of capital and eredit-rcsonrces
devise some plan to provide employment
for a portion at least of these involuntari
ly idle and worthy citizens? Will tbey

tbe matter, and surely much good can bo
done. We say from absolute knowledge,
tbat there is a positive necessity that

in his own works.
So we see that France io 1641, as Spain
in 1543, proved her inability to take up
and wield this moral thunderbolt. The
problem was reserved for tbe Anglo-Saxon
race to grapple with and conquer, and
thereafter the mechanical skill of England
was turned to this invention witti various
atnew, lilt, la iW mill. 1 In nf lhe last cen
tury, after the idea bad been floating for
over 200 years in ingenious minds, tbe
steam engine, that scarcely inanimate
Titan, that living, burning mechanism,
was brought to perfection by James Watt.
Thenceforth tbe engines of labor, mar
shalled by the power which Watt brought
forward, were to make their bloodless tri
umph, not for the destruction, but for tbe
blessing, of mankind. All bail to tbee,

Ibis part of the problem remained for tbe
other branch of tbe Anglo Saxon race
the branch in tbat Western hemisphere
whose expanded territories are traversed
by some of the noblest rivers, and separa
ted from England by an almost world wide
ocean. Tbe thoughts of the men of the
last century after the Revolution, were
turned to the development of steam. One
or those men attracted the attention of

A correspondent of the Baltimore A
can takes ground in favor of the immedi
ate abolition of slavery in that Common
wealth. He regards the 90,000 slaves as
a serious obstacle to the progress of de
velopment, especially in tbe city of Balti
more, which has been built up by free
labor. The America thinks the solution
of tbe fate of slavery should be left to
time and a "masterly inactivity." Tha
point, however, is reached that Slavery
can be publicly discussed in Maryland.
As for the rest, time will take care of that.
