country, will under some notifications. be
most favorable for all.
8: II some plan, which is simple, definite
uniform, feasible, efficient, and readily un.
d!erstood, could be presented to the public,
1t must elicit much interest and MANY
efforts which would otherwise never be call
ed into being.
4 The great Importance of popular edu-
cation, and the general and uncommon in
terest lately manifested towards it, have al
ready led to the formation of societies to
promote it in several of the states-and few
counties; and if numerous societies with
this object should be formed upon different
plans, it would be difficult to unite them so
as to aim at given, definite and uniform
result, and all might of course be weak, and
possibly In some leases clash with each
others interest or operations. 1t is hence
believed that the present is more favorable
than any future time which we can have
reason to expect for general and concerted
movements in this great cause.
5. The intellectual, moral, and political
interests Of our country, unite in loud and
most imperious call for speedy, as well as
united and general efforts, for the
general diffusion Of knowledge.

EGYPTIAN DEsPoT1sM. The manner Of
raising armies in Egypt is by absolute force.
The men are driven hundreds of miles from
the interior, and from all parts, like slaves,
fettered or bound, to the place where they
are to be trained. In like manner when any
government work is going on, they take by
force, men, women, and children in the same
way, and keep them as long as they think
fit, in state no better than slavery. The
men are paid plastic (about seven cents
per day, the women half piastre, and the
children quarter, and even ofthree-fourths
are paid them in paper on which, poor crea-
lures! they loose fifty per cent. in getting it
exchanged.
