TAYLOR Till' CABINET. The newspnper press has been teeming with a multitude of reports in regard to the dissolution of the Cabinet. According to some, it had become settled that there must be a change, snd so confi dent were these letter writers that tliey asserted this without any apparent hesitation, (icn. Taylor was reported to lie dissatisfied with the actions and conduct of his advisers, and wasdeterwlncd to have others around him who would carry out his views more faithfully. It appears, from the most un doubted authority, that all these are merely idle , ""J rumors are got up-ror mete party effect. The Locofocos find themslvcs at s loss for anything to bring against the administration, and they set themselves to work to manufacture such tattle ss this, believing that they will find soms few willing listeners to their fabrications. j This serves also to illustrate the firmness and houCsty of purpose of tho President. No mere I dle clamor, or senseless rumor can drive him. from tlie stand which he has taken, nor can mere party virulence force him to swerve from that line of con duct which his duty hss imposed upon him. He has never learned the petty arts of thoj intriguing politician, but has com to the discharge of the high duties of ths responsible station he oscupies, with a simple honesty and sincerity of purpose which cannot be influenced by the idle clamors of ptirthmB VY h great onfM ia hi wisdom, firmness and patriotism, and believe thst he will de sll In his power, consistently with his duties as chief-magistrate of this repuMie-te catai the troub led waters of discord, and to restore peace and har mony once more to our councils. EDUCATION AT TIIE PRESENT PAY Several centuries ago, all the leurning of the politer nations of the world was confined to a few of certain privileged elasses. Even lings and the princes of the land were so Ignorant that they were unable to sign their own name, the learning of those ages being entirely in the hand of tho ecclesiastics: So that we tee, iu ttie history of England particularly, that thi gave them tome peculiar privilege which were dcuied even to men high in rank, Afterward thi prevision was extended tn all who rmild reed. orbud any familiarity with p'dite IrWnture.- Soon uimc( advantages began to be extended aorely widely, and lo em brae the nobler and wealther elivsso of tha community, until it be came matter of laudation to England, that her nobility bmUU. a-4 lcar1ti11g.kBwwledge. and re-1 Bnement of tlie realm: " But the benefit of edu cation were nnknowa and unfclt by lie 'lower, j and Ihclalwrinjj; eJuaeeJgiote who were jenJIy, 1 the producers, the bono nd inew of tt country, t Tor long, weary tge Uwy were kepi id darkness aud, kneranroju.drj!? ..f th?'I Vi tmXi f sidered of ercly as-.atuish impor te.no tx the I beast, of the fieM. Tkey hd no knowledge of tbeir rights, elainwdno privrlege and jyed - Witii M UUUvWal eujuymeuts, and no dosirs lur any, they were contented with those eon"',rts which were necessary to satisfy the de- are-Uires f Owir pbyticAliiatures. Hut a the world has lieeome more civilised and enlightcnedi as tlie 'comforts and conveniences of life have been multiplied, as the art of war have fallen, in a measure, into disuse; and pence has proclaimed her welcome triumphs, the masses of the people hare begun to raise (heir heads, and to emerge from the low position which they heretofore have occupied. That Spirit ,of liberty and equality which has arisen and shtdits healthful influence upon the world,- has been accompanied in it ' progress by such amelioration and improve ments in the cittditionof mankind as an enlight ened and liberal view of christian philanthropy wnoH dictate. Man is no longer looked upon by his fellow-man as an instrument in his hand, merely to serve the ambitious views and to ad vance the unprincipled aims of those who eok for power ; but all arc regarded as friends and equals, entitled by the laws of God to equal ad vantages and equal privileges. Philanthropists, then, have striven to extend the inestimable benefits of education to the whole human race, as by that they hoped tn elevate them to that standard of excellence which has been set up Jby the very .principle of tbeir urganiuitton. So amongst the other improvements and ad vantages of this enlightened age, the healthful influences of education coupled with a sound mo rality, are spread over our land, and,aEC extcod- " el' iVTrirr otiis m m4'imwmmPTmr tr-r greater triumph than the overwhelming victories of the sword. Tt is more beneficial, iliore endur ing, more cheering to the good and the patriotic of all countries. It brings no desolation to the hearths, or destruction to the lives of our people. It does HOT sow the seed, of discard and 'strife' over the face of society, hut blends the interests of whole communities, and renders them models uf order, harmony and fraternal love. The idea that Government owes every one an education is gaining ground and rooting itself iu tho affec tions of our people. Nor is our system confined to the mere ab stract ailit -tjtporctlckl 'b"roacBes"oT leaeuing. These are not totally disregarded, but lire so blended and united with tho practical and tho useful, as to make us a nation of intelligent, in dustrious and thinking freemen. The scholas tic refinements of monkish loro give way to the ,clear and brilliant rays of practical truth, and the age of reason is triumphant over tho da'vk ness of superstition. As astonishing as have been the effects of this -universal ditliiHion of knowledge over ttie liinu, we sec but the commencement of its career of conquest. When alt shall have come more fully under its influences, and have profiled by its teachings, may wo not supooso drat-rhat milleti iul era will dawn which proclaims peaco and good will to tho whole generation of man?
