EDUC A ITO N
JR. PlERPoINT's SEMINARY

WILL be re-opened on the first day of Sep
w TENDER next. In this Institution will be
taught, besides the usual branches, the Latin,
Greek, and French Languages, the Mathema-
tics, Natural Philosophy, Drawing, &c.
The Classical Department will be under the
special care Of P. J. MCLAUGHLIN, gentleman
of high literary attanments OF unexceptlonable
moral character, and who has had considerable
experience in the instruction Of youth.
In this Institution the Explanatory Mode Of
Instruction is pursued; which is based upon the
obvious principle, that abstract terms and def
nitions are less ineligible and pleasing to chill
dren than real objects; and that the instruction
which is given entirely in words, can never be
so interesting and profitable, as that which is
communicated with the aid of visible and tangl-
BILE things. BY thus explaining and Illustrating
the subjects of study before the students en-
ter upon them, they are well understood, and
their progress is thereby facilitated and much
increased.
The Proprietor is decidedly Of the opinion
that youth are more easily led than driven in
the paths of science, and that order, in general:
is more effectually secured by system OF mo-
raj. than physical discipline.
This Institution continues to be well support
ed. is now in f1ourishng condition, and ar
rangements have been made for the accOmmo-
dation of an additional number of students.
The Proprietor hopes that no eXertons on MS
mart or on that of his assistants, will be neglect
ed. that will tend to the moral and intellectual
Improvement of students.

two days later. The number of deaths by
cholera on the 9th, was thirty-six, and on the

disease was not materially abating, as we had

FROM THE New YORK STAR.
To mv supporters liz Tammany Hall and else
lchere:
A committee from Tammany Hall having
waited upon me, with assurances that 1 can
have the regular nomination in the place oil Mr..
Cambreleng, if will come out In defence OF !ne
Post Office and retract the charge against van
Buren, that he opposed the clause IN tne ne"
constitution that lets i'm the votes OF poor men,

tnowtedye of the Scotch system OF banking,
and his intention to bring over branch from
Scotland TO take the place of the mammoth:
am opposed to all systems of banking, including
the Scotch " c,.
As 10 defence of the post Office, Mr. Cam.
breleng having made no allusion to this SUBJECT
in his speech at the late meeting, VIII make
single remark, and that is, that IN my opinion
there has been no occasion on winch our Vehe-
rable chief has shown more real moral courage
than in retaining the invaluable services OF the
Postmaster General after that insulting vote OF
the SENATE. the American House OF Lords.
The charge against Mr. Van Buren,, concern
inc his effort to bring branch into Albany, and
the other charge, cannot retract-they are
true-the evidence is on record; and that is the
reason why they are not denied.
As TO Cambreleng, make this proposition TO
settle the difficulty and contention among our
friends There will soon be great meeting at
Tammany Hall; We will both address the people
on that occasion, and let them, after hearing
our respective speeches, decide between us. IL
at that meeting, Mr.. Cambreleng comes forward
to address the people, Roswell Saltonstall will
follow him. If Mr.. Cambreleng does not come
forward on that occasion, the vox populi will

"Let all honest men, of whatever party unite
in opposition to an administration that has e
the Laws and the Constitution at open defiance
an administration that has seized upon the whCs
public money of the nation, and assigned seO
tody and temporary use and benefit to partisan
agents: an administration that has conver'N
the Post Office into a vast machine for eector
eering purposes, and thereby squandered aEs'
