FROM tho New York Evening Post
The New Monthly Magazine for January Just
received, contains MIR. Campbes speech deliver
ed on his reelection as Lord Rector of Glasgow
The Lord Rector 1t seems, is entitled to institute
certain literary prizes, to stimulate the emulation
and industry OF the students. On this occasion,
MIR. Campbell, at the close Of his speech, proposed
gold medal Tor the hest English Essay " on the
evil of intolerance towards those who differ from
us in religion" He observed, that he used this
circuitous phrase " fiom disliking to couple the
epithet religious with that spirit of intolerance
which reversing the sublime aim of all religion,
bows down the mind from its celestial aspiration
to the anXctes of this world like the Indian flo
tree, which, after bearing its head lolty in the
sky, turns down again its branches from the sum
shine of heaven to be blended and buried in the
dirt of EARTH" He also offered another gold med
al for the best English Essay "on the compare
tive importance OF scientific and classical educa-
ton in the general education of mankind" On
this subject he remarked, that he should not favor
any Essay presented account of the side it took
as to this or that opinion in the comparative es-
mate. &c In my opinion" he proceeded, "rhe im-
portance OF science is paramount; but that idea
from an unscientlflc man, and thus hastily thrown
out and unargued, will not of course affect you :;
still less hope it will cause you to depreciate the
beautityIng and eXaltng influences of classical
learning. No! For in looking down through the
arthest mag Unable vstas of uturity, cannot pic
ture to myself any intelligent future age in which
classical erudton will not hold high and elo-
rlous niche in the temple of knowledge"
