begin to feel at the end ol a single vear
as though. the vast capital which they had
fondly and vigilantly accumulated for po
pular education, were ultimately to prove
o.f little or no value. This failure of their
object they .would. probably imagine, and
sincerely believe to be essential to every
system of education for the people, and
inseparable from it ; whep in reality the
miscarriage would be exclusively due to
our neglect of ;;J the most important means
of giving it efficiency, consisting in a pro
vision of well qualified teachers. Were
we at this moment prepared with a fund
to. the-amount of a -million and a half of
dollars like that of New-York or Con
necticut, for educating the children of the
State, it is hoped we should not think of
throwing it away, as no small sums are
now little better, if not even worse than
thrown away, upon knaves, profligates,
drunkards, vile and disorderly rangers of
a neighbourhood, and such men as a de
cent and virtuous family would be scru
pulous of admitting to its fireside, by em
ploying themas teachers of our public
schools. If a system of national educa
tion conducted by such instrumentality,
should disappoint the expectations and
wishes of the people, would it beany thing
strange to an intelligent man, though to
multitudes unthinking and uninformed, it
might furnish vital argument against all
attempts to carry into effect any plan
whatever, of popular schools ?
Men may know enough of reading, writ
ing, arithmetic, . and geography, to teach
them in some manner to children, and at
the' same - time by their example to make
them, as" vain as pedants, of their wonder
ful attainments. .But it by no means fol
lows that such teachers should.be offered
by the State in its parental character, to
train up the. children of the country.

UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY,
Of the Synods of North-Carolina and Vir
ginia. Many years ago, the Presbytery of
Hanover undertook ito provide or the ed
ucation of its'own candidates for the min
istry. For this purpose a small I heologi
cal Library was collected, and a Professor
of Theology appointed In this incipient
stage, the school was so far connected with
Hampden Sidfiey College, as to'have the4
President for its Professor of Theology,
and to have the use of rooms and books,
for its Students. After some trial, the
Presbytery surrendered their plans and
their funds to the Synod of VirgHiiai in
whose hands the school sustained but a
lingeringexistencei owing to the general
impression, that the 'Souihemj Country
would not sustain a Theological Institu
tion. The Presbytery being: still confi
dent of success, again renewed thefcrge
and baving collected funds sufficteAfap
pointed a Professor unconnected with the
College. The institution thus assumed a
more distinct form j and was located on
land given to it near the CoyegeJ Build

87000. About this tifne, it; began to be
