What gave peculiar novelty TO the perform
ances in the Meeting House, ON the 4th inst. was
the novel, interesting and candid remarks Of the
venerable Col. PIcAEHING, preparatory TO tile
reading of the Declaration of Indie Iendence.
He stated that there was no man living able
10 give so good an account Of il as the venerable
JOHN ADAMS; that he bad written 10 him III the
last August on the subject, and lie now gave the
facts obtained from han. The motion which
produced the Declaration, was made on the 10Th
Of June, l776, by Richard Henry Lee, from Viz
GINA, the largest of the Thirteen United Colo
mics, who was authorised 10 make il by the votes
OF his constituents, the Assembly OF Virginia.
MIR. Adams seconded the motion, Massachusetts
beiUg at that time tie second state. The Col
here alluded 10 the ability and zeal Of President
Adams in carrying through this measure lie
observed of him, that he possessed that BOLD
AND DARING SPIRIT, without which no reyolu
ton could be successfully accomplished. A
committee Of five was appointed on the SUBJECT,
consisting of Mr.. JEFFERSON, Mr.. ADAMS, Dr.
FRANKLIN, MIR. SHERMAN, and Mr.. LIVINGSTON.
MIR. Jefferson, though the youngest on the
committee, was chairman, he having one vote
more than Mr.. Adams. That Mr.. Jefferson had
come into Congress with great reputation as
writer-and although he was a silent member of
that body vet lie was most useful on committees,
and feliciious in his writings. That Mr. Adams
had made use Of every exertion to procure votes
for Mr.. Jefferson, in order to place him at the
head of the committee. That the committee met,
and appointed Mr.. Jefferson and Mr. Adams
subcommittee. That Mr.. Jefferson urged on
MR. Adams TO write the Declaration, and Mr.
Adams urged MIR. j. TO do it. That Mr.. Jeffer
son at last consented, and the next day submit
ted the original draft, as it was presented TO
Congress. That Mr.. Adams thought the only
Objectionable part eft was that in which George
I'LL. was STYLED tJTGnt-that he considered that
as too personsl--that he only considered him
such officially, and that be was deceived and
nisled by his Cabinet. lie did not however state
any objection to MIR. j. as it was afterwards TO
be submitted to the whole committee, and the
feelings and temper of the people were fully up
TO the tone Of the declaration. That lie thought
some of the most beautiful passages were after
wards stricken ont by Congress, particularly
that in which it was enumei ated as one of the
evils OF orr Colonial state, that the Parliament
had refused to allow the Colonies to prohibit the
importation of slaves, and had thus entaied up
on them the evils Of slave population. The
subcommittee afterwards reported 10 the COM
mittee, who did not suggest single alteration
or amendment. The committee then reported
The Declaration to Congress on the first of July,
l776; il was discussed and amended onsthe Cd.
Sd and 4th of July, ard adopted the latter day,
about quarter of the reForted Declaration hav-
ing been stricken out. MIR. Pickering differed

vince ourselves, we made the experiment, and
found il fac smile of our writing on papvr BY
careful attention, any one can hurnor the up
and down strokes with pencil nearly as well as
they can with pen. Thousands of respecta-
bic characters can bear witness, that the pro-
gress of boys by this method of writing Ser
spelling, is astonishing; not of one, or a few
boys, but the whole of school,"
In teaching reading, on the common plan,
each pupil is required 10 have a book~-on this
plan, books are not used, but " lessons" printed
with large type, on sheets, substituted
This is one source Of the cconomg attendant on
this system; il supersedcs the necessity of each
child's being furnished with book. These les
sons" are pasted OF boards and hung at proper
distances round the school room. The lessons
of the first class are simple sentences, composed
of words Of one syllable; the second, two sylla-
bless and SO on by regular gradation through
all the classes, till we come TO the 9Th. The boys
in this class are permitted to read in such books
as will improve their minds and morals, and pre-.
pare them for future usefulness. At the proper
hour the classes are paraded in a scmicircIe
round their reading lessons, by the monitors.
The boy at the head then reads the lessons in
such a tone of voice as to be heard by his mont
tor. He having gone through, each remaining
q
word, the boy who corrects him, takes prece-
dence This serves to riyet their eyes on the
lesson, which is printed sufficiently large TO be
distinguished by six or eight boys at once.
: When they have repeated the whole lesson as
many times over as there are boys in the circle,
they are dismissed to their spelling on the slate
and another like number of boys study the same
lesson in succession indeed fco hundred BOYS
NAV all repeat their lessons from the same card,
in the space of three hours" The value and
in5ortauce of this plan for saving paper and
books is certainly worthy of attention." at this
time when the general complaint is scarcity Of
money; and we hope, and trust il will recon-
me nj itself, so far, at least, as to induce those
who are concerned in the management Of our
4" public schools" 70 give il a thorough and
careful examination.
This beautiful system Of order is applicable TO
all other studies and we believe, that notwith-
standing IFS similarity 10 miliGry discipline, il Is
the secret spring that contains the gist and The
charm Of knowledge TO youthful intellects." Let
MS examine the subject FOR a moment; and on
reflection we shall he convinced that order was
heavens first law" Even in common school
tie master is obliged TO command and give or
ders, and the reason they are not obeyed, Is be-
cause he has no agents 10 see them fully carried
into execution and because there Is a want of
that systematic and active mode OF tuition 50 de-
sirable 10 the Youthful mind. Make the school a
place 81 ACTIVITY. and il becomes a place Of joy
