'till. rail; Gazette.—thtr React.
041e•We observe in the last "York th
. natio" a series of remarks relative to the
Wrightsville and Gettysburg Rail Road, in
a strain of vulgarity and falsehood which
usually characterize the Editorials of that
Maki* Jacobin press. We should certain.
Jy not have , noticed them, had they not at
tempted to give a party bearing to the Act
chartering said Company. -
Vhe - Editors ask the Farmers to inquire
into the reasons for granting this second
Rail Road Charter; and state that TwOßail
Roads -from Wrightsville to York cannot be
necessary. They then charge all this to
' the Anti. Masonic Administration!
.We trust that the Farmers will inquire
_ intn_the azasoris for the lino Rail Roads, and
satisfy themselves whether it was caused by
the Masonic or Anti-Masonic party. We
wilt briefly state the facts, (which are all to
be found on the Journals of the House,) and
. thee leave the People to judge how far Ma.
sonic Villany was the cause of the act re
fiirred to.
It was proved, and cannot with truth be
denied, that in the Session of 1834-5 a
Member of the House of Representatives
from - Adams county prepared a Bill to in.
corporate a Company to make a Rail Road
from Wrightsville through York to Gettys
burg, and agreed with Mr. Strrnia, a Ma
sonic Jacki;on member trom York county,to
offer it , as an amendment to another hill; . the
member from Adams was to move to die•
penes with the reading of it and to state the
object to the House. It was offered by Mr.
Snyder, and the member from Adams mov
ed to dispense with the reading, and stated
that it was an Act to incorporate a Compa•
ny to make a Rail Road from Wrightsville
through fork to Gettysburg—to which M r.
Snyder assented, and it was not read, but
passed on the statement of its contents thus
made.. Immediately before it was offered,
the' member from Adams asked Mr. Snyder
whether it was just as it was when he gave
it to him,and Mr. Snyder said it was. This
was proved on the floor of the House by
Mr. GAMBLE, a highly respectable member
from tycoming county. He is no Anti.
Matta, but 'a Jackson man. After the bill
had passed thee House without reading, it
was discovered that a g, oss forgery or
fraud had been practised on it! OJ - ALL
THAT PART OF Tilt BILL WOMB AUTIIORIZED
TUB PiZeTINIIANCE OF TIER ROAD FROM YORK
TO GETTYSBURG WAS STRICKEN OUT, AND
THR ROAD MADE TO END AT YORK
This base act was done by no-Anti-Ala
- we, but by one of the Masonic Jackson
members from York County—either Sny
der or Smyser—for each accuses the other
of it. We leave them to settle who is guilty.
At.the last &Brion, the member from A
dams county brought in a bill to continue
the Wrightsville and York Rail Road to
Get9aborg according •to the original law
before the forgery had altered it. Had that
law prevailed, only one road from York to
Wrightsville would have been necessary.—
But this was opposed by , the Wrightsville
end York Company; and in order to defeat
it, several Masonic Jackson men from York
went to Harrisburg to bore against it—a.
axing them was Dr. Smam,one of the Man
agers of the present road and the Jackson
candidate for Senator at the last election.
THEY DEFEATED THE DUX, AND THIISREN
SHRED TWO ROADS NECESSARY.
So careful were the Anti• Masonic mem
bers of the Legislature of the interests of
the Farmers of York county, and so unwil
ling to be obliged to make TWO roads thro'
ghat rich valley, that they provided in the
law of the last Session, that the Wrights•
vilk and York Rail Road Company should
/lave the right to subscribe their Stock into
the new Company,and become a part of said
Cowpony, and that only one road should
be
made from York to. Wrightsville. BUT
THAT COMPANY REFUSED TO DO

President is a high Mason: The acting
Manager hi - York is a Mason; one who

Testimony of a Nan Buren Man.
The followu g. says the Lancaster Union, is an
extract hom -a speech delivered by the Hon. R.
T. LTTLE, a Van Buren man, and late representa
tive in Congress, at a "Buckeye Celebration," ,n
Ohio, in September last. Gen. HARRISON was
present, and had delivered an address, at the re.
quest of the Committee of Arrangements. and had
afterwards spoken at the table, in acknowledg
ment of a complimentary sentiment. We copy
from the New Yorker.
"It is true, that that gentleman [General
ilinarsoN,] and myselfare now,as we have
for some time been,opposed to each other in
some of our views, perhaps in most, as to
the public men and measures of the day; but
were we as widely separated as the poles, I
can neither be made to forget his virtues,
nor withhold from him just commendation
for his many eminent services. Sir,/ would
be a traitor to my own nature, if I found
myself capable of disparaging the claims of
a public servant, so eminent, so tried, and
whose life has been a history of such useful
ness and galtantry,as that of Gen. hfarri•
son. Rather than rob the temples of that
time-worn and justly honored public ser•
wont of a single laurel, i would choose, in
justice and gratitude, to heap chaplets on
his blots. Sir, the miserable spirit of par
tisan warfare and detraction, as displayed by
most of the journals, on both sides, nay on
all sides of the question for the Presidential
succession, I deprecate from my heart.—
The spirit that will admit of no good, out of ,
the- mete party range, and which dooms to 1
infamy all that cannot reach his standard of
party purity— . -a spirit which invades the
peace and peryerts the purposes of social
harmony and union—all good men,sliiiuld
frown upon. "Render unto Cresar the
things that are o:mar's," is the injunction of
Divine Wisdom; and in all cases where we
depart from this nrinciple, the degradation
and the evil are to be measured only by the
extent of its infraction.
The barid'of pioneer worthies who now
surround us—with your guest just named,a
chief and conspicuous member—should re.
ceive at our hands, that respect which by
early toil and suffering they have so richly
earned. They will soon be numbered with
years before the . flood. Respect to them
while living, and gratitude to their memo•
ries when dead, are imperative on all who
participaie now in the glorious fruit of their
earn hardships and enterprise."
1.77 he Mowing letter wne written by Gen
HARRISON, in reply to on invitation to the late
Whig Festival, in Pliiladolphiv:
(IN CI N NATI, June 24, 1836.
Gentlemen—l have had the honor to
receive your letter of the 411) June, 1836,
inviting me to a celebration in your city of
the approaching anniversary ofour National
Independence. I greatly regret that lam
prevented by official duties from attending
on an occasion which would combine so
many circumstances to render it highly in
teresting.
I request the favor of you, gentlemen, to
offer, in my behalf, to the company which
may be assembled at your feshval,.a toast
and sentiment: The latter, however, is not
original, but will no doubt he acceptable. as
it camo from a body of men belonging to
Pennsylvania, whose conduct and services I
have ever considered as doing honor, as well
to their own State, as to our common coun
try. I consider it, also, appropriate to the
times, as it may have some influence in
checking that current of selfishness, engen
dered by the baleful influence of party tac
tics, which is so rapidly increasing in our
country, and which, it seems to me, bids
fair to extirpatethose principles of patriotism
and devotion to the common good, which
once so extensively prevailed.
I must trespass on your patience by a
short narrative, that you may better under.
stand the claims which I advance in behalf
ofa portion of your fellow citizens, to whom
I refer, in the sentiment I offer you.
In the spring of the year 1813, the period
for which the brigade of volunteers raised
in Western Pennsylvania, and commanded
by Brig. General Crooks, was about to ex
pire. about 800 of them were stationed at
Fort Meigs; at which place had been col
teeter! a large priition of the munitions of
war, and all the artillery intended for the
projected campaign, for the recovery of the
Michigan Territory, and the conquest of
Upper Canada. Upon the safety ofthis post
all our hopes of succeeding in the enterprise,
of course, depended The enemy, aware of
its importance, and informed also of the time
when the greater part of its garrison would
be discharged, were preparing to attack it ,
Although all these circumstances were well
known to the department of war, the orders
to supply the places of the militia which
were about to be discharged, by fresh drafts.
were so hang delayed, that it became neces
sary that I should collect every disposable
man for the defence of this important post.
While engaged in this duty. I addressed a
letter to General Crooks, which he was
directed to read to each company, appealing
to their patriotism. and urging them to' re•
;main in service until the troops whielf,ticid;
been ordered from the iuterior should arrive
to relieve them.
Six hundred of the eight hundred imme
diately complied with this request. Upon
my arrival at Fort Meigs some days after
wards, I found them embodied under the
command of Majors Nelson, Ringlend and
Orr. The troops which I had before been
enabled to collect, and bring with me, were,
however, entirely insufficient to supply the
place of the Pennsylvania volunteers, and
the period of 15 days, which I had fixed as
the limit oftheir service,was about to expire.
No effort was made by me to attempt to ex
tend it, having determined that their going
or staying should depend upon their own un
influenced sense of duty They were not
long in deciding. The private soldiers de- -
sired that they might be assembled, and the
day after in arrival, the field officers waited
upon me, with their unanimous determine
lion, embodied in the following declaration,
which they requested to make to me. "A•
greeably to your request, General, we have
remained at our posts. The 15 days which
you assigned as the period of our stay will
shortly expire; but we did not intend that
that should be the limit of our service if a
farther time be required. We did not vol
unteer for 15 days, nor 15 weeks, nor 15
months.but for just as long,iis in your opinion,
our services were necessary. It is true we
are anxious to return home, as we are nearly
all farrners,and unless we are soon dismissed
we shall loose the chance of making a sum
mer crop. This, as well as ail other per
sonal considerations, are of no importance,
when opposed to the duty we owe to our
country. We therefore inform y( u, that it
is our determination to remain with you as
long, as in your opinion, our services may
he necessary."
The arrival of a batallion of the Kentucky
militia, which had been mounted on pack
horses, to expedite their mare.h,enabled me,
in a few days afterwards, to discharge these
patriotic citizen soldiers. They left the
Fort, bearing with them the strongest evi
dente which I could furnish of their claims
upon the gratitude of their country. They
would not, however, have accepted their dia.
charge, could they have supposed that the
long threatened and repeatedly postponed
attack upon Fort Meigs, would take , pace
in less than 10 days after their departure.—
Pennsylvania was not however,unrepresent

followed. The Westmoreland troop of light
dragoons,: under Col. Markle—a portion of

Major Alexander, nobly sustained the chiv
alrous character which had been acquired
for the state by the soldiers of Thompson,

Be pleased ►o present in my name, gen-
tlemen, to the Company which may be as•
sembled at your festival, the following sen
timent:
"PENNSYLVANIA —As long it. her itateanten eon

their duty to their country.'" .

ENGLAND. -ii would scorn by the last
accounts trom England, that the design of
the reformers extends beyond the remedying
Of existing abuses,and that they have in view
the subversion of the government. Meet-
ings have been held in various parts of the
kiniidom to intimidate the House of Lords,
and to destroy their power. If the reformers
prove successful in this off - mg, it will remove
the main prop of the monarchy, and their
next step will be to denounce that system
of government, and probably to overthrow
it by revolution. It appears to us, that
nothing but. inflexible firmness in the House
of Lords, can arrest the progress of com
motion, and save the country from scenes
of binorlshe I, and possibly from the sway of
a Dictator in the person of O'Connell.
We do not believe that a change in the
form of government would be beneficial to
the people of England; and we should,there
fine, regret the success of the reformers to
that extent—however we might approve a
reform in actual grievances.—Ball. Chron.

HARRISBURG, July 6, 1P26.
To the President of the Young Men's
Democratic Van Buren Gmvention.
Sir,—The undersigned begs leave to pro
test against the course pursued, by the in•
dividuals of the Young Men's Convention
against him and the journal he conducts.—
He is, and ever has been, a devoted suppor•
ter of Jackson and Van , Buren. His paper
has been long ardently dedicated to the sup
port of the candidate of the party; and to
the honest vindication of Jefrerson Demo.
cracy. It has, it with pride and exultation
acknowledges, sustained the interests of
.Pennsylvania Democracy. But the sub
scriber cannot be induced to believe that the
support of the key stone state, is inconsistent
with the sentiments or interests of the friends
of Van Buren. He has ventured to exerei e
freely and honestly the privilege of judging
of the expediency of the public measures:
and will continue so to do—confident that
candor, rectitude and truth, can never mili
tate against the true principles of the Dem
ocratic party.
He protests against the denunciation by
the convention of him and his journal.
Because, he believes such denunciation
unjust.
Bocause, this convention is not authorized
to denounce the well known and long tried
journals of the party.
Because, at least, fifteen or twenty jour
nals of the party, known to be devoted to the
cause of Van Buren,accord with the "Chron
icle" in its opinions and course.
Because, the democrats of Pennsylvania
approve of, and sustain the course of the
Chronicle, any counter expression would be
a misrepresentation.
If, however, the convention,notwithstand
ing, these objections, deem proper to make
the subscriber the 'object of Condemnation,
he at least asks, as an act of common justice,
that he be heard before the convention or
its committee in self defence.
Because the course contemplated by the
convent ion,would be an unjustifiable intei fe.
rence with my private business,nnd a flagrant
violation of my private rights:
Because it would be an act of MERCI•
LESS PROSCRIPTION,whiO the people
of Pennsylvania could not fail to regard with
disapprobation and resentment.
The subscriber respectfully begs leave to
submit the foregoing.
Yours &c.

notices the mariner of the escape of the In.
dines under Jim Henry, and remit rks,—
We trust for the sake of our fellow•citi
zens, in the lower counties, to say nothing
of the reputation of ourgenerals, that these
Indians will not give us the slip,,and secure
their retreat to Florida. The grand scheme
and plan of the campaign as laid down• on
paper, and attempted to be put in practice,
was to establish a cordon of posts and inter
cept the retreat attic Indians to Florida,yet
we see that 100 have escaped the meshes
that were laid for them, and made gond
their way, murdering, burning, and robbing,
deliberately, as they went.
We fear that the bold and cunning savage,
Jim Henry: is more than a match, in the
art of war, for Gon. Scott,or even Gen. San.
ford--albeit, they have the advantage of the

MEXICO.
From a private source which reached us
by the arrival of the 'C. Goodwin, we learn
that the excitement continues to increase an
all the Mexican provinces where the news
of the defeat and capture of Santo Anna has
reached. On the subject of texas there op.
pears to be but one feeling that of the bitter.
est kind. The most intelligent think and
feel that the American people are culpable
fortheir conduct in the Tema!' affiirs; and
the lower classes not only show, but speak
their feelings.
Of the fate of Santa Anna, there is not, it
is represented, that unity of feeling,that ma
ny wishoind on the other hand there is much
more than is desired. That there should
be parties, and sectional feelings in Mexico
as well as in other countries, is no wonder;
but it is extremely doubtful whether there
will be any exhuberanCe until utter the af
fair of Texas are settled.
By an arrival from Texas, we learn that
General Santa Anna is still at Galveston Is
land,under close guard fears being entertain..
ed that attempts would be made to effect his
rescue. The Texians are a little fearful of
An attack from the Mexicans, and continua'
to watch all its movements with caution.
Still Later. , -Jim henry Captured.
By the arrival at Norfolk of the steam
packet from Chu rfeston,we have papers from
that city to the eighth inst. inclusive. It
seems that the noted Indian Chief, Jim Hen
ry, has indeed been captured. It is thought
that this circumstance will materially hasten
the termination of hostilities in Georgia and
Alabama. A large body of Creeks' were
already in course of removal to the region
west of the Mis.tissippi.
General Jesup had taken in all about 1200
hostile Indians, and was on , his march from
Fort Mitchell to Long's plantation—the half
way p.iint between Columbus and Tudregee.
A letter dated Augusta, July 6,says—"A
report has reached our city, in what way I
know not—that Judge R. N. Read and
family, on a trip front St Augustine to Tal
lahassee, have all been murdered- by the
Seminoles. I heard a part of a letter read
the other day,from a member of the Judge's
Cimily, and a trip as above was spoken of.
The circumstances give credit to the report,
but I have not time to trace it."
It appears that the surgeon of Col. Fan
ning's detachment, who was selected . to at
tend the Mexican sick, has arrived at New
Orleans, and fully confirms the horrid butch
ery of the prisoners. Col. Fuming among
them. It is also stated that the rumor of
the vessels fitting out at Jamaica to assist
the Mexicans is unfounded.
The Charleston Courier °Me Atli, states
that a steam boat has been chartered to pro
ceed to Gray's Ferry, Black Creek,Ftorida,
with three companies of U. S. Troops which
have lately arrived in that city.
From Mew Orleans, Charleston X bitletamoraim
By the arrival at New York ofthe steam
packet William Gibbons, we have through
the politenessofM r. Coilite,of the Exchange,
received Charleston papers to Saturday fast,
containing New Orleans dates of the 25th,
Mobile of the 27th, and Metamoras of the
sth *of June. The Charleston' papers cert•
firm the capture of Jim Henry. The New
Orleans Bulletin of the 25th contains a list
of the unfortunate individuals attached to
Funnin's command, who were butchered by
order of Santa Anua.
W. B. Lamar, the Texian Secretary at
War, has addressed an able letter to the
President of the New Republic, in• which'
he urges the propriety oftrying Santa eqn
na as a felon.
A letter from Metamoras says--"Thts

CASUALTIES.
On Monday the 20th ult , as the Hagers
town stage was crossing to McConnellsburg,
near the top of the Cove Mountain, during a
violent thunderstorm, the driver was so
stunned with an electric shock as to fall
from hi-. box. He, however, was taken up
by a couple of teamsters, who had stopped
during the storm, and soon recovered. A
drove was crossing at the same time and
place, and two of the cattle were killed. A
tree close by was likewiPe struck with the
same flash.
Thus were congregated, the stage, the
teams, the drove, and their respective at
tendants, remote from any house,,at a time
when a voice from the clowds seemed to say;
"the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth, let all
the earth, keep silence before him. 7 The
thunder was unusually severe. Astable
was burnt, from being struck, during the
same storm, in the Cove, belonging to T.
Logan, Esq.
Tau Serum OP Stavitair.--We learn
from the Cincinnati Republican, that Mr.
Pickens, ofthe House of Representatives in
Congress, made a flourishing speech a few
days since, against laboring classes;—de
oignating them as having neither home,
country, right nor property; as being as de
graded as the *wanderwg Calmiic or Tarte
ty. He said, their object would be to Om.
'der the wealthy; and insinuated, that if they
got into power, a hundred thousand swords
would leap from their scabbards to put them
down.
. It was but a little time ago, that Mr.Pich
ens, colleague of Mr. Hammond, said that
slavery "creates an aristocracy, and that
in a slave country. everyfree man is an aris
tocrat It was only last Autumn, that Gov.
Mcl)uffie,one of the tallest ofthese Southern
aristocratic Anachims, gave out in a Mes
sage to the Legislature, that the laboring
people are a dangerouaelement of the body
politic," and,that the opposers of the South
ern system ofoppression ought to be put to
death without benefit of clergy; and that in
twenty five years more,the free states would
find it necessary to establish slavery if they
remained free.
How flitted() these petty despots know o
the spirit of freedom, by which our free la
boring. classes are actuated, and what com•

FATAL ACMDERT.--.WP learn from the

Harrison Celebration at Harrisburg..
M"Amoi,g the guests at the late Harri•
con celebration at Harrisburg, we observe
the GOVERNOR, STATE TREASURER and
HEADS OP DEPARTMENTS!
Will the 'Telegraph" inform us whether
that was an Antt-illasonie celebrationl—
the caption of the proceedings,it would
not seem so. We should like to learn ex
actly' where we are, and where we are about
to be led. Let us have no concealment—
no quailing of the free presses for fear of
"driving offfriends." We see a few sound
Anti•Mnsonic tonsts,it is true—such as that
given by that old firm genuine Anti Mason,
JACOB ALTER, Esq.; but we see many that
are any thing else than Anti-Masonic. In
the regular toasts we see Democracy—the
Democracy of '9B toasted, but not a single
toast in favor of Political Anti-Masonry!
We regret—we will not conceal it—that
the Governor and his Cabinet should have
sanctioned such a celebration. We are
glad to learn, however—as we do from one
malignant sentiment published—that the
Secretary of the commonwealth and his
worthy Deputy were not there.
It would have been gratif) ing to the peo
ple--the Anti-Masonic people, who gave
them power.to have seen a little more Anti-
Masonry in the sentiments of the several
Secretaries who did attend, and in the State
Treasurer's.
By the bye—will the Telegraph—the
fearless Telegraph!—infirm us, whether
the rumour be true or false that the State
Treasurer, JOSEPFE LAWRENCE, continues
in office several Masons—whether his Chief
Clerk' be a recusant Witness who rebelled
against the law last winter? If this be true,
and hot a vile slandei, (as we long hoped,)
why does not the "Telegraph" expose sach
desertion of principle—such' treachery to
the people? Has it becorne bloated with
Treasury pap that it cannot speak! We hope
and believe better things of that Champion
of Equal Rights. But we will never suffer
such Masonic conduct—such betrayal of the
people to remain unknown, if we know it.
The Presidency.
.OrThe Boston Advocate asks, "Why
does not Mr. STEVENS and his strong men
come out for Mr. Van Buren?"
We have no authority to answer for those
gentlemen; but we can'give several reasons
whylt would seem to us that Political Anti.
Masons cannot support Mr. Van Buren:
Firstly—Mr. VAN- BUREN has always
belonged to the Masonic party—to the par
ty opposed to Anti• Masonry.
Secondly—W e cannot support Mr. Van
Buren without suppot ting the Electoral tick
et that will vote for R. M. Johnson for Vice
President. Now, beside other black spots
on Mr. Johnson's character, he is a high
adhering Mason. How, then, can Anti•
Masons support the Van Buren and Johnson
Electoral ticket in any State of this Union?
Will Mr. HALLurr, whom we respect as a
firm and sincere Anti-Mason, inform us
how he gets over this difficulty?
Thirdly—la Pennsylvania, a large pro
portion ofthe Van Buren Electors are bigot
ted Masons—Masons who refused to obey
the law in the late Investigation. Here
then, no true Anti-Mason can vote that tick
et. Will our sound friend of the Pittsburg
Times tell us how we are to vote the Van
Buren ticket and still be Aati•Masonicl
Our condition is a difficult one—made so
by the filly, if not insincerity, of the Attor
ney Genernl and some others who ought to
have acted more honesty, or not acted at
all. But still let us not involve ourselves in
the fatal inconsistency of voting for Masons.
Let•us preserve at least one
,spark of pure
Anti-Masonic fire to re•kindie the mass with
after the folly of the present campaign io

FURTHER FROM TEXAS.
We have received some additional intor
'nation from Texas, by the schr. Urchin,
Captain Bridges, which arrived yesterday
from Galveston Bay.
By her we are infiirmed that a letter was
received at Velasco, Texas, on the 22d inst.
direct from the Texian Commiesioners at
Metamoras. The substance of the letter
was, that they, the commissioners, who it
is known were there sent by the Texian go.
vernment totreat for the exchange of priso.
ners, had been arrested by the Mexican au
thorities and thrown into prison. Further,
that all overtures or propositions made on
the part of the Texians were rejected—that
the liberation of the prisoners at Matamoras
was positively refused, and in fine,that
ing like treating with them on the basis of
'rexian Independence, would be listened to
by the Mexicans. The Mexican spirit must
be on the rise since the affair of San Jacinto
—and we do hope for the honor at least of
their Spanish ancestry, that they will not
run quite so fast the next time.
By this arrival - we learn also that 4000
Mexican troops were, at Matamoras-4000
at the Nueces, and 6000 at Saltillo--all, we
presume, burning with a desire to meet
once more the Texian rifle and spear.
They will doubtless be soon gratified, for
it appears that orders were issued by the
Cabinet of Texas to the army, to p•oceed
forthwith towards the Rio Grande,andmert
their invaders, when the cry of` , Alamo." though
it may come train only a handful! of gallant spit
ita,will strike terror to the hearts ot pusillanimous
thou•anda.
When the Urchin sailed, Santa Anna and suite
were still in confinement at Columbia, about forty
miles from Velasco,nn the Ilrasoa river. - The cabi
net of Texas, we hope,has got teen "trait" on the
subject of detaining their Royal Prisoner.

that if the Jackson representatives of York

to charge them with fraud in the session of

COWS SCHOOL BOOKS.
. Ma. Mtnnurroa—faee by the publiek prinks,frOm
various parts of the State, that the Series of School
Books by LYMAN COBB, A. M.; of New York, is
coming into very general use.
Feeling, deeply, the importance of some system in
the arrangement of elementary school books, 1 have
spent much time in examining the various works that
have appeared within the last few years; and, as the
result of my research, you will permit me to state a
few particulars, in which "Cobb's Books" are entitled
to a decided preference
First—The Spelling book contains more extensive
lessons than any other in use. It will be found that no
word is inserted twice in any spelling lessons of this
work Taking the numerous repitions of most other
spelling books into the occolint, and it will be found
that Cobb's contains almost twice as many words as A
ny other spelling book extant.
Second--They are carefully graded to the capacity
of the learner. The first Reading Lessons consist of
only words of one syllable—then follow a series in
which are no words of more than two syllables—then
of three,&c., nicely suited to the advancement of the
scholar. The subjects treated of arc also each as
waken an interest in the mind of the young learner ,•
hence his task is pleasant, and his improvement will
be rapid.
7hird-1n Spelling and Pronunciation, these works
agree strictly with Johnson and Walker,the acknow
ledged standards of our language.
Fourth—They are never inconsistent with them
selves—the only series extant that does not devi
ate from its acknowledged standard, and violate its
owe rules If* scholar is taught by his spelling book
to write or pronounce in a curtain manner, and in his
reading lessons finds a different rule laid down, and,
perhaps, finds both at variance with his Dictionary,
how is he to know what is truth? Such, however, is
the fact in regard to many of the works heretofore
used in our common schools.

The introduction of Mr. Leman Cobb's Series of
School Books into the department of which I am
teacher,by the School Directors of Hanover, has fur
nished me with sufficient time to acquire an experi
mental knowledge of their intrinsic merits, and from
their beautiful simplicity, judicious arrangement;sub
stantial matter, utility and general adaptation to the
4uvenile intellect,l do not hesitate to give my mral.
ified approbation of the entire series, as comprising
lucid,correct and enlightened principles of au elemen
tary education, admirably calculated to facilitate the
attainment,& to accelerate the march of rueful know
ledge. Their superior merit certainly must claim the
serious attention,and demand the patronage of a libe
ral and enlightened publick.
