THE YOUNG MEN'S INSTITUTE OF
— SPRING GARDEN.
Speech of Governor Johnston.
The corner stone of nn edifice intended as a
reading room, library, and lecture room, for
tho_toung Men's Institute of Spring Garden,
was laid on the Bth inst., with appropriate cor
emomee. Gov. Johnston was present and made
the following address, which we . , publish, not
for political purposes, but because we think it
contains sentiments deeply interesting to every
• well-wisher of society,—Sentiments which those
who hare the training of the youthful mind,
and those who are now forming their own hab
its of thought, 'will do well to consider. Read
it. Itviill pay weld:
Gentlemen of the Spring Garden Institute
'and Fellow Qitizens :—lt is a pleasant social
duty which we perform in laying the corner.
stone of an eclifloe, to be the home of an insti
tution, the primary object of which is the mo
ral and intellectual improvement and cultiva
of;youth, by the establishment of free'
reading room and circulating htirary, and the
delivery. of scientific lectides, "ii;ccoMpanied
with properexperiments." •
In this_country popular opinion rules "court
atlcamp," crUtry and city, with unlimited'
sway.- - Popular opinion creates, directs, and
controls the rulers of the nation as well as the
most unassuming and retiring of the citizens.
It governs the halls of legislation as well as
Village councils. It places the crildne on the
shoulders of the Judge, and sustains the arm
of the eancutioner. It reaches eiery.fire-side;
it affects every individual citizen in all tho,re
!lotions of life. It is the great motive power
of action, and the regulating' balance in the
maohinerrof our peculiar social system.
A$ popular opinion is the basis of all power
in the country, so should it ho guided by jus
tice and wisdom, attributes without which
Power in all hurls is pe'ruicious to order, peace,
civilization and true_ liberty. Wisdom and
goodness will be the tutelary deities of .this
ed
ifice, and under their•auppices a new genera
wilrlearn - to increase - aiid - pre erVe - the tic=
talligeneo of their fathers.
At this day, when men are so easily misled
by visionary thoories—nnd -false ideas; whin,
owing to a largely increased popUlation, and
mighty changei in the structure of society,
the advico-and the example of the heroes and
sages ihck first established our institutions on
a firm foundation,.nro likely - to be forgotten or
disregarded, it may be well enough to contin
ually resort, on all proper occasions, to their,
writings, and their public end 'private lives,
for - lessons and 'examples to guide our path
way.
In the Farewell Address of George Wash
ington, he says: "It is substantially true that
virtue or morality is a necessary ,spring of
popular Government. The rule extends will:
more or loss foroe to every species of Govern
ment." • ,
In the countries where arbitrary forms 'of
Government obtain, and where there ifim_high
state of virtue and morality among nil classes
—all the rigors of despotism are softened, and
the iron crown of the tyrant is converted into
chaplet of roses. 'When the councils of mo
narchies and aristocracies are governed by vir
tue, and when those courts make laws for , a
moral population, stability is given - to these
otherwise - odious - and - unpopular - institutions,
and happiness may dwell among the people,---::
In Republics, education and morality constitute
the life-giving principle of Jheir action. The
first decay of liberty has always accompanied
the first decay of morality. '
`They have marched with - equad fnotsteps on
their downward course; until both at once die
appeared in the
,raging &if of anarchy, or
wore tiMicleti in the dust by the cohorts of a
military,despotism. In ancient Item°, liberty'
declined along with virtue, until ausassinatiOn
iiatfdeoined the only remedyto vindicate the
Republic. In Switzerland, a virtuous and free
people still defy the combined tyrants of the
European world, and keep the sfandard of free
dom unfurled, and unstained, amid their moun
tain homes. In France, popular government
with: the largest liberty, has repeatedly failed,
and the canoe of freedom hoe Suffered for the
want of private virtue in her defenders. Ido
net say i that the rural and provincial popula
tion of Franca isMo:Cmoral. It would ho un
just and untrue to so allege. The gay peasant
ry of beautiful Franco arc excelled by no peo
ple in love of country, or in their devotion to
thetlomestio virtues.

Interesting Agricultural Facts.

,United States, from 12 to'l4 por cent. • This
accounts for the fact that the same weight of
