ttrllllllllllitati.o 7 llS . '. = - For the Toiler Journal. tenon on Phonetics.--No. S. 01;fectioNs Any new theory which is advanced,and r improy•entents suggested, have always met kith more or less objections, and many of the objections have as often been More pneied than real. Phonetics is not ex empt from objections, which have been very urgently pressed. The first objection which is generally raised by the learned ones, is thertilmolo-i vied obse&ion. Ben Franklin has ans-1 veered this objection fully and so clearly t hat we will copy his own remarks: " Ety . zuokigies" sisys lie "are at present very! uncertain; but such as they are the old books would still prese.ve them, and ety-i zoologists would there find them. Words, in the course of time, change their eggs as well as their spellings and pronun ciations, and we do not look' to etytnOlo , y I for their present ineauinv. If I should call a man a knave and a villain, he would hardly . be satisfied :with my telling him I that one of the words originally signified only a 14 or servant, and the other a 1-oloWnian, or the inhabitant of a village." If etymology is so important and the resent spelling so necessary for studying' it, why is itthat the mere Latin and Greek_ rcholar is unable ; from the orthography of, the words iu the Lord's Prayer, to tell the I history, derivation and meaning of more! than two or three, as trespasses, temp: . tt-i tion, deliver, glory, and even here wdl be{ most probaUly in error, — a — s he may he in clined to give to Op Latin what h.ilon-s to the French. • Dues not this show tWat the ~pciling alone does not give the required in fueina (ion, but only the spelling with much other learning? The study of etymology is a deep study, pnd requires laborious and patient inves tigation to become masters of it—and one of the greatest etymologists now living, timid a short time since that he should study it but little iu the future, as his time could be spent better, and his ener gies directed in a more important channel. But we will allow, for the, sake of the Argument, that phonetic spelling dues to tally destroy etymology. How many of the human family would be deprived of the (questionable) blessing? It is a la- Mentable fact that a very large number of. persons of these United States cannot read. - And a very large number also are very poor readers. The loss of etymology to these two classes would be nothiog% but the acquisition of phouetics would be an inestimable gain. Then, a large proportion of those who justly claim to be learned or liberally ed ueated, know nothing comparatively of this etycnology,—,eit least they make but little use of their knowledge-- for, when called upon to give the etymology or derivation of a word, they cannot do it without re ferring to a Dictionary, which any one pan do who can read. We see the number who would be af fected by a loss of etymology would be very small indeed. Then here comes the important question. Is it right, in order to accommodate a tvoyji , w, to incommode and keep in ignorance the mass? The philanthropist would say no !--but adopt the motto, "The :freatest good for tilt! greatest number." No one, from the spelling alone, can trace the slightest re seniblance between an Enodish, French, Latin, Greek, Sanscrit, Zend, or Hebrew word. The difference of alphabet effectu allyconceals this connection. Etytnolo. - 0 deals with words themselves and not their accidental orthographies. It is only the half-learned, then, or the half-learned orp thispoint, who fear any in jury to etymology, from the adoption of phonetic spelliug, which on the contrary, will be found one of the uto.-st favorably circumstances which could ensue, to the 'study of 'tree comparative philology. So we see the etymological objection is no objection at all. Pnoso. For the Potter diurnal Sound. We are too apt to take such things for granted, as have an ancestral sanction. Though utterly inefficient to the needs of to-day, yet they are reverently adopted as laws of light and life to us as progressiontsts. We kneel before the mossy idol of au tiquity shrined among hoary memories of the past, while the chantings of veneration render us oblivious to the realities of the fresh, and ever living present. We heap, on that venerated alter, the bright oppor -tunities of present and future good. Ft:11- ft monuments, scattered splendors, obso lete customs,--what are they but so !natty ,evidences of the ganeseent character of All human greatness, when not founded upon enduring principles It is not pre tended that the subject which gave rise to the foregoing remarks, is of paramount importance in itself, yet an investigation of its remises may serve a high purpbse. It is an opinion somewhat prevalent even Among intelligent people, tha: sound may be evalved/independently of the hearing.- This we consider an error, resulting from an imperfect conception of 'the nature of ,*hg phenomenon. gvery movement, g ory circumstance, from the revolutions of a planet round its centre, to the winking of an eye, is and must be conformidable to laws or fixed conditions. Nothing can be perfect without the sun: of its essen tial parts. Though the elements of'cvery possibility may lie somewhere in the store house of nature, yet nothing 'definite is produced .until they are brought into cer tain relations with each other. For there is no such thing as'a separate entirety..— Nothing is independent. The relations lot the Universe are infinite, yet, compli cated they are and closely , inwoven I with eaCh . other, the obliteration of a sin gle atoui would mar the harmony of heav en. .11.emovc the conditions -which sup- ports faet and you destroy it as such a tact; and the' tern, by which it was des ignated a 'Whole, is not applicable to its separate parts. Although cold water and steam may each be reiMl - ved into the oth, .er, yet cold water is net steam, and rice cecsa. It would be a palpable absurdity to call the Matelials of which a house is composed _a house, while yet untouched by the hand.of art.. The same is true of all natural phenomena. .!The defenders of the iudcpendetrt-sound idea represent a single .ope or two of the elements of sound by the same term which can only be properly applied to' a combination of rli itS elements. sound cannot be evolved without the aid of an organ of hearieg; fer the two are as nearly synon. ' tunes, as• may be. To their existence the presen!ee of a mental faculty and its phy-- ical or,ari is.indrspeusable. Eartn, air and water are all mediums. capable of transtnittim , vibrations' or moth.m,' but they are simply vibrations and cannot elindhate sound until they fall upon the brain.. Even at a ghinee it is evident that 'at least three conditions are necessa ry to build : its phenomebou. Namely, - an . agent, a mediuni, and, a recipient. In the case ofa clock striking, thelhaminer' and wires are the agent, intervening at itosThere mediuni, and an auditory'' Serve the recipient. The removal of eith er of thos'e.eunditions would be destiuct-' ve of sound. Neither of them can pro- I nce it all)ite. neither.is it self-erc at i ng or self-su.taloing; but dependent fur its, 4itinifestation on a unity of fOrces. Mo- I;1 it Is tee i ‘r!in,!,,/ 7:v.i.H7e of sound, yet the latter is not the inevitable result of') the former; thus ph,inly evincing that it is dependent on the nature of its reeipi-: .eat whether a similar action will produce a similar result. In vain do they say the cluck wakes just as much noise when we' are absent, as when we are in its presence. The only difference is we cannot hear it, I (thus virtually acknowledginz the neces sity of theii presence to its formation).— It wakes [4, noise, simply because of the absence of One of the constituent parts ofd sound.. Their mistake in this mattbri consists in viewing ourselves as separate from the universal plan, and in adoptine. the language of convenience for that ofi philosophy. ; The phenomena of sound, in common with all others, is not, (as,. seine sup Bose} an inherency of the sub stances p?odueing it, but the result di joint fietien on the part of natural forces. These' pheuomena,—what are they but the peculiar relation" le` Have assumed,! toward the rest of. the universe? Soi close is Divine economy, that the very medium through which we.know the out er world, becomes merged into the outer World itself. Hence the absurdity of blot ting out a share of Nature's perfections, (separating ,'ourselves - from sound), and then looking for the same results as before. l ip this case,Ms others, for the sakeof el.inveniem.',e 4 .

The " American Presbyterian"' Uncourteons. Jro the Falter journal Nit. EDlTOR.—Flavin' some time ago prepared aShortarticle, designed to correct some misstatements, which were published , id the " American Pre.:Aifierian (of Phil adelphia,) in au article headed " Divorces in Northern Pennsylvania" &e., and sent to the editors fur publication ; it Imo not, so far as I can learn, been deemed Worthy of notice. To satisfy myself of this I wrote to them the following note enclosing a post stamp, dated Jan. 25th, 1859. EDITORS OF AMERICAS PRESBYTERIAN (Jews: I sent to you fur publication an ar ticle designed to correct some misstatements which were published in your paper of June 17th, 1858, relative to Divorces in Northern Pennsylvania, &c. lam not aware that it has been published', as I have not received a copy of your paper containing it. If you have not published it, %% ill you please inform me why ? Please answer, and oblige, yours truly, To this note I have received uo answer,' and am left still in die dark as to its des-1 tiny, only that I suppose. it was deemed by them not worthy of notice. But, as the Amaricun I'rCSll . 9 teriU iS'.uut, the on/g source of communication with the i world, nor its editmls the only men to say what falsehoods shall pass for truth with-; out being contradicted, I am happy that! in our own immediate place there are ; ' those not aliraid to tell the real truth ; al place, toe, included in the sweeping asser- Lions of the article alluded to. If we hav been denied the privilege of contradicting ; the falsehoods abroad ; it is more than emu pensated by the enhanced value of contra-! dictino them on the spot ichere they are! said kt . e.rist: For this purpose then I I send you a copy of the article which. (it seems) could find no place in the Anteri- 1 :can Presbyterian : 'DIVORCES IN NORTHERN PENNSYLVA NIA." • MESSRS. EDITORS : In your paper of June 17th 1838 there is au article under the above caption which in justice to the veople ought to be placed iu a, true light. ;it is there stated that " Fur a on inter of ' years past the courts in the border court tics hqs burn creedal with divorce eases Ifrom Neu: York," and that " Every court in these counties has j'eont two to a do.:- s a d, c ases to cli..po.se of each term." These are sweeping statements, and, if true, whould show a deplorable state of society. But the truth, bad as that is, shows things in a more favorable light In Potter County (where the author of your article resides) there have been since Oct. Term 18-17 (a period of eleven years) twenty-bur divorces granted by the court as shown by their records. Now we have no disposi tion to say that any one ,of them should have taken. place ; but how wide is the truth from the charge which makes the number range between eighty-eight and ! jive hundre d and twenty-eight ! The Kean County court records show that !there have been eleven diVorces granted iu ten years. Then, in regard to that county, the statements in'. your paper can !in no wise apply. With respect to Tioo-a, land Warren counties, I have nut received Ithe number of cases from their - records!! but 1 have conversed with a number of geutlemen who attend their courts regu ' tarty, and have fur a great number of years, and who know• what they say;. and their testimony is, that there are not one-half !ot the cases of divorce in these counties as there are in Putter County. In regard to the charge of condi/bit:lap made against the people, I can say that dtiring a resi deuce among them of thirteen years, I clan testify that the assertion is false. That one or two eases of unlawful marriages mialit be found in the county is very pos sible ; but that it is characteristic of the people, (as the article would have us .be- here) is not true. The *hole article is a wanton attempt to injure the people of theSe enmities! in the estimation , of those abroad. But the most remarkable feature of the whole thing is, that .the anther of the article gained all knowledge of the people in the incredible short stay amongst us of nine months! Altho' he said so much, he seems to indicate-that he would have said more ." If I had time." We feel sorry that'he did not tiavoteiwhat tune -he had to. a more useful purpose. lOar own view of this is, that had he val ned time and truth as he ought to, lie never would have - written either the arti cle alluded to nor the account of the state o f religion contained in .the same paper. It says 4 Ten'or twelve qinversionS have taken place, Mostly in our *congregation— 'nine united with the y church, &e." The truth is not one conversion has taken place during the tittle/ specified so say (some of) the members; (if we are to bolieve them.) Nine united With the church, by let-. ter and four on prole:ision cif their faith ; 'but not one of, theSe four pretend to have been converted in connection with the ! church ; so each of them positively de clare ; and this fact was mot hid from your correspondent, Wken he sent Vou the ac count. All who read the account receive the impression that those nine vac from among the . number converted, Which is not true.

At last, however, we are ena bled to hold up our hands in holy: horror and blanch our faces with well-placed ter ror, at the alarming proclivity of certain members of the Legislature toward pro gression—and in the face, too, of the loud brayed threats of national disruption to which our cars are being daily aecus towed, trout the mouths of the advo cates of the great national conservator of not liern- democracy, ycleped Slavery.— This progressive tendency .of certain in cautious and ungrateful Representatives in our Assembly is"becoming so alarming that we fear the disruption of our nation, by the sudden forcing out of the great Key : stoire thereby.
