AMERIcAN EDUCATION SoCIETY.-The
Rev. mir. Cornelius has succeeded in OBJ
tanning subscriptions to found nearly fifty
scholarships; yet the funds for immediate
use are exhausted, and $50 beni6ciaries are
depending on the Directors for support.
The subscriptions for scholarships are to be
paid by instruments during 1--WE years. At
the close of that period, when all is paid
in, only the interest can be used. This
would afford but 600 a year to each;-
whereas the Directors give ~ a year, be-
sides the avails of the Students own exer-
tons. Large contributions, therefore, are
this moment wanted, to carry on the bene-
6cent operations Of the Society; and for
collecting these, an efficient agent seems to
be requisite Rec. f. Tel. 4

Aud here permit me to remarks that un-

right or wrong. And what is worse than
all, fear that there are notwanting profess

ton decided, we beg leave to say, that a
Christian, has no right, any where or un-

than Christian. He must ask about al
political as we'll as any other act, the ques-

1t is just as wicked to lie about politics, as

REMARKS. We, as well as our readers, are
heartily weary and disgusted with frivolous contro-
versies-and if we were not the most uni Acky b.
peds in creation, should, ere this, have escaped
the evil, OF which, we would now, with some en-
fer an opinion Of our own, or venture to say, that
the world revolves upon its axis, that the wind
blows northwest, or southeast, some evil- minded
wight exclaims-Sirrahs, you are in fault-you are
mistaken-you are altogether wrong. We have
opinions, however, of our own and we will ex-
press them, no matter how widely they may differ
from those Of others.
1t so happened, that we had an opportunity Of
witnessing the performances of Mr.. MACREADY -

SEDUCTION AND SUIcIDE.-ln another column

Of Seduction and Suicide, copied from London

and crime of wretched girl in living colors, we
cannot think that it will offend the modesty Of such

perusal.

ly succeeded in calling forth indignation for the

that the infamous seducer Of female virtue, the
common depredator on society, will meet the pun

A paragraph has been going the rounds stating
that on the first night Of Mr.. MACREADYs appear
ance, in this city, the Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER re-
ceved the cheers OF the pit as he entered the box.
THIS is true, and il is equally true that Captain
WALLIS, who was Lieutenant Of the British fri
gate Shannon when she captured the Chesapeake,
of Boston Harbor also received the cheers Of the
same patriotic pit on the same evening. II cannot
be that Bostonians have forgotten this memorable
engagement! The peals of the cannon struck hea-
Willy on many heart!
Boston Statesman qf Thursday iasi.
To this we mos. cordially offer our dissent and
shall take the liberty to say, that utterly sur
prsed, that Boston audience should be so cold and
dead to all the ennoblng feelings of patriotism,
to attempt to twine wreath of laurel around the
brow of man, whose only claim to distinction, is
based on the circumstance Of his having assisted to
capture, in an inslorious and unequal fight, an
American frigate.
We had hoped, that the Bostonians, however
much they may be given to the prevailing notions
Of arstocracy, would, at hour like this, linser
over the memory of LAWRENCE, PERRY and
an ALLEN, instead Of awarding to a foe, the
plaudits to which the gallant of our own hardy tars
are entitled.

situation Of the relations between us and Gre eat
Britain 10 offer an insult to those other officers who
visit US, or TO evince the least hostility towards
them, who were once engaged with in the fight.
But that people possessing the ordinary feelings
OF men, cherishins the sentiments of patriots should
hail with joy and loud acclaims, man, who
has been the Toe Of this country, and whose claims
to chivsrywere founded the result of battle in
which our arms met with defeat and disgrace, is
passing strange. We consider the affair altogether
disreputable to the character of the Bostonians and
unworthy Of men who entertain a just sense of ma
tional pride. II evinced disposition on the part OF
those who were guilty ofparticipaiing IN it, to lick
the feet and kiss the robes of royalty; spaniel-ke
disposition to kiss the hand that smites US. We
regret that the affair should have been made pub
lie, and for the credit Of the Bostonians, we could
wish that the thing had never taken place.

proper management at an early period OF their pre-
paratory studies, they are rather dragged along,
than excited by the spirit Of emulation, through
those important exercises. The fabric Of their
collegiate education being built upon an imperfect
foundation. they frequently become d'gusted with
q coune that brings them nothing but disappoint-
ment and chagnn. They retire from the seats Of
literature and science with uncertain prospect
before them, and without feeling that modest conf
dence Of their own abilities, which generally en-
sures success to the accomplished scholar.
It is, therefore, the height of absurdty to debar
lad from the advantage Of an exercise that has
tendency to mould all his requirements and ideas,
into connected form because, forsooth, he has
not critical acquaintance with language. No one
can be well acquainted with language who cannot

ped up in their Incidence and their prejudices,
while they suffered the nobest faculties Of the mind
to sink into comparative inactivity. These remarks
cannot be made to apply to all for we have among
us those who fulfil their duties in this respect with
honor to themselves and profit to their pupils
But it must not be concealed that many negle ct
this useful art and rest all their arguments for the
plans they pursue upon new and untested theories,
without endeavoring TO gain from, and act upon,

"THE LITERARY CADET, an Administration

put down any man who opposes even the ,crong
measures Of the administration! We are glad to
see these gentlemen openly avowing their real SEN
timents."
REMARKs.--We copy the foregoing, from the
Boston Statesman. merely to do justice to ourselves
and to enlghten the mind Of Mr.. GREENE, the
able and worthy Editor Of that paper. Whilst we
admit that the extract it stands susceptible OF
the construction he has put on it, AID no other we
avow that it is not what we meant to have written
We intended the paragraph should bear this con-
struction, and no other The decision of the Leg.
islature Of Rhode-Isand, gave MIR. Potter, the
accuser Of Mr.. ROBBINS, direct and irrefragible
testimony, that thut body placed not the least conf.
dence in his assertions; and taught him that the
nan who opposes the Administration whether its

convinced that it is pure corrupt that is TO say
the man who associates himself with an unprinci.
pied faction, to oppose the Administration, merely
for the sake of opposing it, never gain the sup.
port of discerning Rhode-Island legislators.
MIR. GREENE will excuse US, five tell him, that
we would be among the first, and the most vehe-
ment, to denounce that man, who would bow
support to the WRONG measures Of Mr.. ADAMS and
his Cabinet. We profess to be the humble admi.
rers of the present Administration; but in the f.l
ness of our admiration we would not sacrifice our
age we would cut off the offending hand that
should write one line, in support Of ~rong cor.

independence is our motto by this we live. by this
we hope to die.

Rhode Island The Hon. Asher Robbins has
been reelected TO the Senate Of the United
Ststes, by the Legislature Of Rhode Island
for six years from the 4th Of next March. There
was no other candidate in nomination, and MIR. H.
was chosen without dissenting voice. The Prov
deuce Cadet says" The result was grateful to the
great mass ofthe spectators, who manifested their
satisfaction by momentary burst Of applause. -
Was not this a departure from those republican
maxims," of which the Cadet proesses to be so ar
dent an mirer."-Bo'ton Commercial Gaseffe.
REPLY.-The manifestations of satisfaction,
evinced by the Rhode Island populace, ON the oc-
casion in question, was not "a departure from those
republican maxims, of which the Cadet processes to
be SO ardent an admrer." At this election, there
was signal triumph of princirle-over folly, the
malice Of the human heart aud all the baser quail
ties Of mankind. The people had, with some anx
iety. watched the progress of the contests they had
feared that their favorite, the man Of their choice
would by the acts ofa faction, as unprincipled as
it was impure, be defeated; and when, to their sa-
tsfaction they discovered that they had succeeded,
and that their wishes had bees accomplished in the
midst Of the general joy, they gave a momentary
indication Of their qualification.
The gentle burst Of applause which escaped them,
was not elected by sycophuntic admiration Of u
man--it was the spontaneous burst of patriotic
hearts, when told, that they had surseeied-that
the Constitution remained inviolate--and that, for
once, virtue had triumphed over perfdy. Ex-
pressions like these, worthy Of patriots and Of
freemen-nor shall we consider that man, guilty of
an open "departure from those republican maxims,
which the Cadet PROCESSES to be so ardent an ad-
mirer" il he horesly rejoice when he finds himself
successful in wrestling from the withering grasp Of
faction, the insultei Charter of his liberties.
