ther belongs the bieolUd, intolerant Jesuits then
he discovered that Kossuth was a humbug !"
ne think it Dnforttinato, too, that Huuhus. who
is so prominent in political matters, should be
connected with, the JisuUs& society well known
as bosiiie to civil and religions liberty and as
using deception aud intrigue, almost beyond be
lief. They claim, we believe, the right of mental
reservation, in regard to any pledges orproftssions
they may make, public as private. For this they
hove the sanction of very high authority, When
the archives of the Popes were carried to Taris,
in 1809. among other surprising things,- says tho
historian, a practice came to light which the- Pope s
had, of declaring hull nnd void, by secret mental
reservation, tho contracts which were made in pub
lic. This was the case with Alexander VII, with
regard to the treaty of Pisa, in 1001 ; also with
Clement XIII, with regard to the banishment of
the Jesuits from France, &c.
UTAH THE MORMONS.
We lataly published some accounts from Utah,
in which the conduct of Gov. Yoo.no was repre
sented as very disgraceful on many occasions
There is now a different version of the matter.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Courier and En
quirer, under date of the 25th nit. at Washing
ton, says: "Dr. Uernhiesol, delegate from Utah,
arrived here on Thursday last, lie evinces much
feeling at tho reports here prevalent to the dis
advantage of Gov. Toung and tho Mormon com
munity. He denies that these is truth in any of
them. Tho letter published in the Washington
Union, and extensively circulated through other
prints, which attributes to Gov. Young tho most
gross and vulgar denunciation of this Govern
ment, is said to have been written by a judicial
officer of Utah. Dr. Ccrnhiesel says Gov. Young
ever used on any occasion such language as that
Ge. Taylor was dead and gone to . The
speech in which he is charged with having perje
trated this scaudalous indecency, was made on
tn 24th Jnljr, t so tan Mormon celebration. The
Dr. says he was present and heard all that pass
ed, and not only was nothing said disrespoctful to
the memory of Gen. Taylor or the Government of
tho United Stases.but Gov. Young habitually and
always expressed himself perfectly satisfied with
tbe course of Gen. T.'s administration towards
the Mormons, and declared that ho was deeply
sensible of President Ffllmore's kindness towards
himself and his people. The dalegate states also,
that when he left the territory everything was
perfectly quiet. The blanks for taking the cen
sus of Utah bad not arrived, bnt the Marshal and
his assistants had msdo the enumeration with the
aid of mauuscript forms a slow and difficult
mode but the work is said to hare been per
formed with fidelity and accuracy.
'The population of tho territory, according to
Dr. B., Is about 15,000. He would have brought
the returns, but the Marshal was engaged in
transferring them to the printed forms, these hav
ing arrived after what may bo called the field work
was completed."
We think it likely that the truth is between
the above and the previous reports. There has,
doubtless, been sotno exaggerated accounts, pre
judicial to the Mormons, but there is some truth
in them. Tho cause of hoslility between the
Mormons and the people about them, has always
been that they sought to repudiate tho constitu
ted authorities of the country, retting up the
counter jurisdiction of their priests, elders, and
prophets, and that seems to be (lie true source of
difficulty now.
It is very certain that tho U. States Judges,
Secretaries, and Marshal, did leuvo the territory
g'omu time ago, aud this step would hardly have
been taken without cause.
AN'OTHEU CANDIDATE.
Gen.BcTLP.s of Kentncky, is spoken of as a
candidate for the Presidency, and will cany with
him the Union of the whole Free-soil Democra
cya thing that will not b lightly conidercd by
the Baltimore Convention. Tbe Democratic party
in the LegUlatnro of Kentucky have united their
votes njwn Butler, as their party preference for
United Statsi Senator.
JUDGES IN VIRGINIA.
It is said that there appears to be a determina
tion throughout the Slate of Virginia, not to al
low politics to enter into the election for Judges.
If this tarns out to bo (he case, it will lie better
titan eleclisg by tho Legislature of that .State,
for the Republican says those elections wrc al
ways governed by party.
IRISH PEACE SOCIETY-.

resolved to form a society to be called th ' Now.

MR. WEDSTER.
The address of the Massachusetts Convention
for the nomination of Mr. Webster for the Presi
dency, after setting forth tbe various 'public ser
vices which entltlo him to the gratitude and sup
port of lis countrymen, has tho following con-
tiding paragraphs " ' -.
-With this experience of his ability does any
one do.ibt, that if Mr, Webster were- chosen Pre
sident ho would do honor to himsulf and the
country t' For oursekw,- wo feel confident that
he will giro the country and tbe world an exam
plo of a Chief Magistrate, snoh as will refket new
credit upoft tho leading Republican government.
W fytl confident that, as the Head and Repre
sentative of the conutry, he will pursue a course,
of which all Its citizens will be justly prond,; re
turning to the office as much dignity as be will
derive from it. We believe that all parts of the
Union wld feel that tho government la in hands
eminently safe, and well entitled to their respect
and confidence, and that foreign countries will
own that Republics are not always ungrateful fot
the services of their most distinguished citizens.
"Wo are persuaded, at the moment when w
put forth this address, that there Is no man in the
country in whom the great masses of our fellow
citizens have higher confidence, and we chcrmb
with equal conlidcnce the conviction that, in the
judgment of the civilized world, there is not more
than one American entitled, to stand higher than
his. Wo feel a just and elevated ptide, as Ameri
cans, that one whose name is thus known and
respected throughout the world; whose thrilliig
eloquence has roused and encouraged the oppos
ed wherever they have been struggling to be free ;
who has best defended tho constitution of the
country, and done most for its permanence,' isan
American patriot, worthy the highest honor Bis
country can bestow, and whose election would be
regarded as one of the purest triumphs ever
achieved by our republican institutions."
NEGROES IN CANADA.
The negroes who were incited to go to Canada;
by the aiders and abettors of American Abolition
ists, are reaping the fruits of abolition sympathy.
The Toronto Globe says the Anti-slavery Society
of that city have exhausted all their means for
the relief of the refugees who arc living among
them. They are now conipollcd to look tround
for aid from the benevolent, ns the negroes are
suffering from sickness and poverty. There may
be temporary aid afforded, but the prospects of
these miserable dues of fanaticism and hypocri
sy, are gloomy indeed in the face of a Canadian
winter. They cannot get employment, for all out
door work of which tho msjority of refugees are
capable is suspended during that dreary season
so tho last crowning act of abolition sympathy
will consist in permitting the negroes to Buffer
from sickness, hunger and cold,

TllE ARARAND IIISSERPENTS.
A paris correspondent of tho St. Louis Repub
lican says : I stopped to see some of the numer
ous shows, which are in full operation during the
holidays. 1 found myself at last within a circle
whero an Arab was showing off w ith seven or
eight great serpents. I wanted to turn and go
away, but the r-wd had become so great Unit I
could not move, and was obliged to remain a wit
ness of certainly one of the most' curious and
frightful spectacles ever effcred to the public
The snako charmer was seated on the ground,
after the fashion of his country with his snakes
all around him ; two or three of then were of the
mos't enormous size, almost as largo as a full
grow n boa. He would take them up in his hands
let them wind around his legs, arms, body, neck,
and head; stick out their forked tongues and kiss
him on the hands, the lips, the eye-lids, and pre
sent their heads or tails to him, ns he commanded
them.
While tho scfacle was proceeding in the
most successful way, one of tho largest snakes
slipped pff unnoticed by the Arab, or apparant
ly so, and dragging itself along, got out of the
crowd, every body, yon may be sure, giving him a
clear space. Just outside of tho circle two dogs
were playing together. The serpent no sooner
espied them, than he raised bis head, and in an
other moment was busy winding bimsolf around
the body of one of the unfortunate animals. The
poor dog really screamed with fright. It was like
the screams of a human being.
The Arab no sooner heard it, and underntootl
the cause, then he got np, went to tlio spot, nnd
without touching the serpent at all, spoke a few
words, nnd the creature instantly uncoiled itself
slowly until it left the dog free, and I assure you
one of the canine race never ran as fast as that
log did, as soon as ho got loose. Tho surprise of
the spectators of this scene knew no bounds and
pieces of silver wure literally showered Into tho
Arab's turban.
A man of coolness and courago was stopped by
a highwayman, who demanded his purse, ' and
presented a pistol with which to enforce the de
mand. "Good I said the gentleman, "I was just
about to mako the same demand of you ; but
come, I've got a capital job on foot, and if jou
will lend me n hand, we'll divide the profits, see
Ing that you are one nj vs." Deceived, br Ms
confidence, the real rogue went with the coun
trfeit,aud was speedily, handed over to the ten-
mercies of the police,

' ERRORS OF.EDUCATI0N.
i Ma. EoiToa : In my last I noticed the error of
having too many Colleges and too few Academies.
In this I will notice an error, that has ever held
and now holds, in oil the Colleges of which I have
any knowledge, In the course of studies predicated
for students. The universal custom is to study
Latin, Greek and Mathematics olmosl exclusively
the flrsUhreo years of tho College course ; leav
ing bat one for raodrn languages and English
science. -vi. .-j;
To this I olyoct; it Is devoting too much time
and study to ttie acqnMtion o.f, dead languages,
from which we derive no knowledge of a practi
cal character for any department of life. It is al
most the inevitable impression made upon the
student's mind when pursuing these studies, that
he is laboring to no purpose ; that ho loose his
engergy, becomes indolent and contracts habits
of negligence that cling to and defeat him in eve
ry enterprise through life. And how could it bo
otherwise 1
The pupil is laboring without design ; there is
nothing to stimulate him ; he sees others, who
never studied these things, by pursuing a course
of scientific reading far more iatelligen and snc
gfcssful than himself. How often fe a want of use
ful information, scientific research and common
sense principles observable in students just from
College. And why 1 It is plain.
They have been confined closely and almost ex
clusively to Latin, Greek and Mathematics. But
their minds are disciplined. That I admit is the
case. If their studies have been pnrsucd proper
ly, their habits of thought, of mind, capacity of
intellect, and power of investigation have been
much improved every way. But may not those
objects have been as effectually secured by pur
suing some other studies more useful. I think
they might; and if they might, they ought.
I contend that the study of modern languages
will as effectually train the mind as Latin and
Greek, and call upon any one to show why they
cannot.
I think that Latin and Greek ought to bo con
lined to Academies mostly if not exclusively ; and
te College course should be occupied in study
ing modern languages, particularly the French
anfl German, and higher branches of English sci
ence. Let any one take the pains to examine, and he
will find that the German has a more important
bearing upon our own language than either Greek
orLaon, being principaiiyaeriveoirom me Angioj
n I ....... .. 1 I. 11... 1 4 .K .
Baxon, uan a language, in mu u.e ...u-
ematical works in tho world are touna, tiave no ;
philosophy! Can the language constituting the j
dialect of Courts anil the polite circles of the
world have no refinement; does the language iu
which are existing the most piofouud works of
philosophy, metaphysics, theology, and of the prin
ciples, of all languages, have no element to train
the mindl Away with the notion. Let us drive
Latin and Greek from our Colleges; let modern
languages take their place. This iu important,
useful, necessary to the commercial, political ci-
entitle and religious world, each of these indeed
demand it. The ends of the eartli are brought to-
gether; the world constitutes hut one great fami -
ly ; and each member should be 'able to act well
his part wherever ho may go. An Englishman
studies Latin and Greek 'all his dava, and is vet
only an Englishman ;
but 1,'t him master French
and German, ho then becomes both a Frenchman j
aud German and becomes an additional man for
every additional modern language he acquires,
and has all tho advantages the learning of all
those couutrics can bestow.
Indeed there is not
a stand-point from which we can view this sub-
iect from which almost ionurnoraulo do not call
upon us to change our present college course. "ffni me um omius, .... i.o Vmimin
