EDUCATION.

AT a meeting of the friends of education from va
rious parts of the stae held at Princeton the 24th
of September, Colonel Robert Johnson, of Salem,
was called to the chair and Lttleton Kirkpatrick, OF
New Brunswick, appointed secretary.
The object of the meeting having been stated,
the following resolutions submitted, and, after
consideration, were unanimously adopted.
Resolued, That the thousands of adults found in
our state so deploraby ignorant as to be unable to
read. and the destitution OF schools in various dis
trcts, is stain upon her character, and calls loud
" on her legislature to take efficient measures to
correct the evil as speedily as possible by devisng
and putting into operation some plan for extending
the blessings of common school instruction to the
children of all classes.
Resolved, That from the liberalty with which va
rious townships in different counties ofthe state have
voted money for the education OF their own INDECENT
children, and the universal interest felt in fn
ola general and uniform system of common schools,
so as to bring the OF ordinary education with
in the reach of all classes, this meeting is convinced
that the public mind is fully prepared to sustain the
legislature in any judicious measures they may deem
it expedien to adopt to accomplish desirable an
enc.
Resoived That az all our institutions of civil gov
ernmcnt, both general and state, are founded on pop
uar opinion and the free and unbiased choice of the
people, and have no security for their duration but
public intelligence and virtue. 1t is the paramount dn-
ty of wise and provident Legislature, as the guar
dans of the public liberty, to spread the blessings
ofeducatlon as widely possible, that all may be
qualified to exercise the important right of suffrage
with due discretion, and properly to estimate the
value Of civil and religious liberty.
Resolved, That in those states where general ed
ucation and its extension to all classes have recev
ed the largest share oflegslave attention, there
abundant evidences ofits beneficial effects, in much
greater aggregate Of intelligence and general antor
matiom-much more enterprise and productive indus
try-more domestic quiet-a more eleDated morality
"a greater erditaton Of human character. and a
larger amount Of social enjoyment; and that such
facts oughtto stimulate the Legislature of every state

POE Il e "
From The Baltimore Patriot
BY A LADY OF HARTFORD.

While benea'h the G, cen shade of the olive unfadng,
Couniba's treemen in safety recne,
While Plenty her blessings prousely is spreading,
And science ascending to submits sublime;
While roseate health fills the gale with soft pleasure,
And Heaven benignly is please to smile,
While Commerce is loading our shores with her treasure
And hberty's banners wave over the soil;
While Religions best beams are dispensing the shadows
From error--from mountain, from valley and hill,
And inspiring the minds of our vrtuous leaders
oConform in their councils to heavn's high will.
Then Freemen attend to voice that in anguish
Awakens the Muse in her terrors to sing
Lest the cause of fair virtue be suii-rd to langush
And vice extend o'er us her Ebony wing
Oh let not the hand that with murder is stained
Be sutferd the helm OF our nation to guide
No the blood Of our soldiers, inhumanly drained,
Gives nerve to our feelings and national prde.
Ye Mohers whose sons arc as shields placed before US,
Should dangers assail us, or tyrants distress,
Oh pray that the WHO power snail WELD Ger us,
May govern with prudence and wisdom in peace.
| Rese milling the Father that made us natos,
| Who proudly look'd down on the mtre and throne,
Not enslaved by his vices or driven by PASSION
But ruling with justice and virtue alone.
Such man is our AID DAMs-oh! do not eject him,
| But place him again to preside o'er the land
The firm voice of wisdom crtes, Freemen! elect him;
| Divided we fall, but united we stand
b. the hero of Orleans cont ented with the aurea
| His country too greatfuly binds on his brow,
| Reflect ON his Dueis, his Murders and Quarels,
And learn in retirement, repentance to knpw.

Resolved, That from the incalcnable Importance
OF "A vlrtuous education, and its influence on human
character, both in time and eternity, it appeals
with equal force, to the statesman, the patriot the
phitonttropi, and the christian, and claims their uni
ted and persevering exerons to have its benefits
extended to the children Of every class.
Resolred, That it is the deliberate convl ction OF
this meeting, that the literary qualifications, the ca
pacity for covering, and for communicating instruc-
tions, vel! the moral character of the teachers
frequently employed, have been too little regarded
that the Importance Of the sacred trust OF training
the youthful mind land its influence on the formation
of character, have not been sufficiently appreciated,
in consequence of which children and youth have
frequently been lntrusted to the care and tuition OF
such as were not qualified for the high trust.
ResolUed, That when we duly consider the sus-
ceptbility of the youthful mind, how deep and in
dellibe the Impressions made upon it in early life
often prove, whether Of good evil tendency, and
the bearing they have the formation Of character,
this meeting cannot but view the proper qualification
of teachers as well worthy the attention and spe-
cial regard OF the legislature; and that in devslng
plan of general instruction, that vitality important
consideration should receive particular attention.
Res0lUed, That it be recommended to the friends
of education, throughout the state to meet at ren-
respecting the existing state Of common schools in
the different counties, to act on, and make such DIS
position of them as shall then be deemed most ex-
pedent for urging the subject of general and uni
form system of common schools throughout the state
upon the attention of the Legislature, as we'll as the
necessity of making provisions which shall secure
to all classes the advantages thereof and that 1t be
particularly recommended to the central committee
of each county to send large delegation as prac
ticable to attend the said convention.
Resoloed, That a committee vt seven persons be
appointed to make the necessary arrangements for
the accommodation of the convention, and OF the
business to be submitted-which committee was ac
cordIngly appointed.
| ReSoiued, That the friends of education in the
several counties take efficient measures to circulate
as extensively as possible, for signatures, the me-
mortal to the legislature of the state on The subjec
Of common schools, and these memorials be forwar
ded to the secretaries of the respective central com
mittees before the time appointed for the assembling
Of the convention at Trenton and that the procee
dings of this meeting be signed by the chairman ant

PAINTING HOUSES.

writer in the New-Ensland Farmer. says II hss
been proved by repeated experiments :" that house
painted late in autumn or in winter, will hold the
paint more than twice as long as one painted in
warm weather." And he gives reason. that in
cold weather the oil and other ingredients form
hard cement, whereas in warm weather the oil pene-
rates into the wood, and leaves the other parts dry
so that they crumbe off. This is subject worthy
the attention. as the expense Of keeping them we'll
painted has hitherto been serious inroad upon the
purse.

AT the breaking out ofthe Revolution, Mr.. Me-

gle. he served several campaigns; one Of which,
however, on account ofthe privations to which he
was subjected, and the sufferings which he
endured deserves particular mention. In the sum
mer of l776. he went out as a first Lieutenant in
volunteer company, raised in Cumberland CouR-

in the November Of that year, he was taken
prisoner and sent 10 Long Island, where he was
kept - months, before he was exchanged. Du-

.4necdote.-Just about the time that the
President left Baltimore, where he spent
two or three days last Fall, German far
mer from York county, of great wealth and
influence, happened to arrive in the city,
while the favorable impressions of Mr..
Adams visit was in the mouth ofeyery one.
The old gentleman was sorry that he had
come too late, and felt inclined to 20 down
to Washington, and see him ofwhom every
body talked. His wife approved the pro-
pOsal-the caryall was ordered out-and
the next day they were in the parlour ofts
President. They were politely recayed;
but their mouths were sealed. They sat
ten minutes without uttering a word; when
the old German broke silence by SAYING to
his partner, lin their native language,
"Come wife, let's 90 home. We've seen
the President. lie can't talk Dutch: and
we mustn't stay here" The President In
stantly replied in the old mans favorite
Dutch, telling him he was happy to be able

ers looked at each other with amazement;

information reached the city, through va
rlous channels, that agents of the Rail
Road Company were busily engaged in
purchasing liabilities to the difficult passes
along the Potomac, and summoning iuries
100 condemn those which could not be 9TH
.erwise secured, with the obvious Off not
avOwed) intention Of anticipating the Ca
nal Company In its operations. This fact
was formally confirmed by resolutions pas
sed az a public meeting IN Cumberland,
and forwarded to this CITY, inviting the i'm
mediate interposition Of the Canal Compa-
lay, to prevent further proceedings of this
nature, which, if they had no other effect,
would at leasttend to throw doubt upon the
prior right of the Canal Company to pur-
chase or procure the condemnation of such
ground as might be necessary for the site
Of the Canal Upon receiving this intor-
nation, measures were promptly taken by
the agents Of the Company to arrest these
proceedings, by obtaining the services OF
ana eminent professional gentleman to pro
cecu 10 W dsllluStOu county, upon whose
application, after ascertaining the actual
necessity for it, an injunction was granted
against the Rail Road Company, and its
agents. to stay these proceedings, and. al

ing from the first information Of these pro-
lceedings, should find any confirmation in
( the tone Of the Baltimore prints on the oc-
casiOn of this purely defeaSire legal pro-

satisfied, entertain nothing like hostility to
the Rail Road-desirlng onlya fair expert
Iment to be made Of both.-.Nat liz.
