may be expected. Union and education, rem

enabled the people as nation, TO not only crush
foreign tyranny, but to support themselves a.
gainst internal factions, not less inimical to their
peace and prosperity. Union gave harmony TO
feeling; response to sentiment; and sameness TO
action. Education gave the right direction to
the combined energies and taught the people to
know and value their rights--the blessings of
popular government. The press was the con-
ductor by which an equilibrium was produced
and maintained through all the parts.
These being our views respecting the past,
the inquiry naturally psoscnts itself. How are
we to trasmt to posterity, or even secure to our
selves, the rights and privileges we enjoy This,
we think, can be effected only by continuing in

WVHlS Institution, under the superin-
-E- tendence of w. Fl. BRUNER and
LADY, has been in operation since June
last and en- account Of the liberal patron
age which is now extended to it, we are
encouraged to believe that we will be en-
abled to give as thorough course of cdu-
cation as can be obtained in any of the
Northern cities.
We deem it entirely unnecessary to en-
umeratc, as is the custom, the whole course
of study to BIO pursued in the institution
for it is our intention to give thorough
and polished education to all who are en-
trusted to our care sufficient length of
time.
We will also accommodate in our own
family a limited number of young ladies'
who will receive every attention and com
fort incident to board.
