Lord Brougham , in omo of bit miac'
lanuu wriiingH, 8iy something to W
years of ge, no subsequent educatio1
it from the effects of tb bo babil
it ln alrendv learned. Tliat if fthat Bge
it be nufll red to grow up i ignorance hi
all the baseness of brutW flails, Bt)dJ that
vacancy of mind wWchaucb habits create,
it will be vain to try to reclaim il by rend,
log and wriiing. IU ays, yoi may lach
it what you cWmo aflerteartts , but if Jpii
have not prevented tho formation of bad
Imbiu, you will touch in vain., '
In whatever light this opinion of thi de
cidedly greut mu mny be viewed by the
most of pKMon.H, there can bo no reasona
ble doubt among those whose attention litis
been ciilh d to the subject, but (foil efforts to
train properly tho juvuwHe mind ure not in
most instances commenced at a sufficiently
csrly period. Willi children under six or
seven years of ge, school ktrning should
not, we think, bo, by any menrfs tho cliicl
consideration j but the formation of .correct
moml princ iples, and the cultivation of pro
per moral feelings. Scores of children,
before they are six years old-, imbibe those
dispositions to lie.cheal, steal, or of cruelty
and revenge, which in after life prove their

at first encourage it under the notion that it
is smart in children so young.
Bonaparte once asked what was wanting
to mnke the French a free, oducated and
mursl peiple, and was immediately an-
svvcrcd, mothers. And thup was tho true
answer. To make any people a free, intel
ligent, moral andhnppy people, they roust
have intelligent and pious moJterst to train
them for the first six or seven yours of their
lives. Not such mothers as have been ed
ucated us mere play things-educated fush.
lonably; that they might be tho better enn
bled to secure husbands-who have been
taught to look up(n worth coupled with
-poverty as beneath, their not icfl-who have
been tauglit, or who have taught themselves
to regard all manifestations of riommoh
sense as next' thing to vu!g"ar'ity-who can
weep all morning over the imaginary' suf
ferings of an imaginary creature and then
turn away with disgust from real suffering
when met with in the street; but such as
are rcully intelligent as have their minds
stored with useful knowledge knowledge
- that can be reduced to practical purposes
such as have 'earned to look upon life and
life's things as they really are and not us
corrupting novels and novelists have repre
sented ihcjn. Such mothers, with their
hearts refined and their knowledge sancti
fied by the sacred influences of our holy
religion, would not foil to make any coun
try " free, intelligt nt and happy."
Cr The English laugh at the Americans
for the. roughness of their manners, the
canines-of their-, phrascolngiesr-and the
bluntness of their republicanism; and in,
return, Americans laugh at them for their1
overbearing aristocracy on thj? one part and
their cringing servility on the other j and
wo confess wo arc sometimes very much
disposed to laugh when looking over some
of their papers, at what seems" to us the
oddity of their advertisements. Take for
instance the following, which we take from
a LiverpHtl ,np-r of the lSh of February :
"Bytpecial appointment to His Royal
Highneh Prince Albert, and His Serene
Highness the Duke (flxtxe-Coburg and
Gotha,
EDWARD WILLMER,

him to offer a resolution providing for the
payment of 9100, extra compensation, to

v An animated discussion was taking place
on the left of the Chair, (in that port of the
Hall commonly known as Sleepy Hollow,)
several members cngngud in a point of
controversy which they agreed nmtfly to
silbmit to the Chair, but of the merits of
which tho Reporter could' form no definite
ides., until the difficulty was developed in
the question, wlutt ancient philosopher it
was that had buttered' down the walls of
Jericho with a ram's horn!
The Chair stated that there was no rule
of the Il.tuse which made it the Imperative
duty of its, presiding ouiccr to answer .his
torical interrogatories ot tuis description ;
and it would tu obvious to every candid
mind, if such a ri obligation existed, that
the attainments indispensable to the Speak
er would take bo less a ranee than the
whole cycle of human 4c now ledge and oc
quirements. i, Hie Lnuir wus enabled to

not and by supernatural agency, tho walls

- It ia iodeod cheering to the supporters ofl
the great States man of the West, to know
that wo have the testimony of more than
hi political adhefoiite to the fact that he;
above nil others, is best-fitted to fill with
honor to the native, tbe office of Chief Ma.
gistrate of the Uditod States. , Even those
who are) now hie bitterest rivals, have in
linios gone by, ere they were corrupted by
party prejudice, conceded to him the most
exalted talents, unimpeachable integrit),
kud tho purest patriotism. Among. these
wo may mention the Barbel of John Tyler,
tie traitor President; and tho tioa. Thomas
H. Ben too, U. S. Senator from Missouri.
Woaro s warn that tb aeoumony of these "
men it not necessary to prove to tho people
that Hoary Clay is a pore, an honest and

timation ia which thesa time-serving politi-
dans, before they were tost to every prin
ciple of honesty and justice, held Mr. Clay.
Mr. Tyler, few years since, delivered
a speech hi the Virginia House of Dnle-
is, In favor cf the Distribution of the
proceeds of the Public Lands. In his
speech, the " Coptaln" used the following
language i
la my deliberate opinion, there was
but one man who could have arrested the
then course of things, - (ihe tendency of nul.
lification to dissofve the Union) and that
mau was He.vby Clay. It rarely happens
Mr. Speaker, to the most gifted, and tat.
cntcd, and patriotic, to record their names
upon the page of history, in characters in
delible and enduring. But, Sir, if to have
resetted the country from civil war if to
have preserved the Constitution and Union
from hazard and total wreck, constitute any
ground for an immortal and undying name
among men,- then f dd believe he has won
for himself that high renown. I speak what
I do know, for 1 was an actor In that perl
lows period. When lie rose in the Senate
Chamber, mid held in Ids hand the olive
branch of peaces I, who had hot known
what envy wus beforo, envied him, I was
proud of him as my felly w-countrymin and
still prouder that the Slashes &f Hanovery--within
the fimitS of nfiy otd district; gave
him birth."
Again, it is well known that this soma
John Tyler, at the Marrisburg Convention,
expressed tho warmest and most devoted
admiration of Mr. Clay. He used Ms greek
est efforts to have him nominated for the
ofRco of President ; and when it was ascer
taiacd that Ccn. Harrison had received tho
nomination, be

A few days after the adjournment of this
Convention, a dinner was given to the Del
oguteaat Wasliington, at which Mr. Tyler
is represented to have aid : I do declare,
in the presence of my Heavenly Judge, that
the nomination givea tome was neither so
liciled nor expected ; I went to tho conven.

IAM A TRUE AND GEN
UINE WHIG, and in jlic Capitol yonder,
I have shown my love for Whig principles."
But what says Mr. Tyler now 1 The Ma.
rfisouian and every other press which is
supposed to have his confidence, declare
that Uo ju iio Whio, but a genuine Ttocofoco;
and he might ftotv, with the trtmost ptopric

But let us recur for a moment lo the for
mer opinions of Mr. Benton. On the
day of October, 1824, this gerrtlcmau ptih
lishcd, in the Missouri Intelligencer, a let
ter, from which wo extract the following
paragraph:
The principles which tnu1d govern

Now we would ask, why is it that these
gentlemen w ho once entertained such ex.

litical faith? No : he still stands f-Hidly

he has ever maintained.
