EDUCATION IN New JERsEY.-If New Jersey
furnishes such material as the Address Of the Ed
ucaton Convention Committee indicates that the
State possesses, richly is it entitled to all the
cultivation which education can impart We ex-
tract the following.-Star.
''We utterly repudiate, as unworthy, not of free
men only, but of men, the narrow notion, that
there is to be an education for the poor, as SUCH
Has God provided for the poor a coarser earth, a
thinner air, paler sky? Does not the glorious
sun pour down his golden flood as cheerily upon
the poor mans hovel as upon the rich mans
palace! Have not the cotter's children as keen
a sense of all the freshness, verdure, fragrance,
melody and beauty, of luxuriant nature, as the
pale sons of kings! Or is it on the mind, that
God has stamped the imprint of baser birth, so
that the poor mans child knows, with an nborn
certainty that his lot is to crawl, not climb 1t is
not SO. God has not done it. Man cannot do
it. Mind is immortal Mind is imperial 1t
bears no mark of high-of low.-of rich or poor.
1t heeds no bound Of time or place, or rank or
circumstance. 1t asks but freedom. 1t requires
but light. 1t is heaven born, and it aspires to
heaven. Weakness does not enfeeble it. Pow
erty cannot repress it. Difficulties do but stmu-
late It's vigor And the poor tallow-chandler's
son, that sits up all the night to read the book
which an apprentice lends him, lest the masters
eye should miss it in the morning, shall stand and
treat with kings shall bind the lightning with
hempen cord, and bring it harmless from the skies
The Common School is common, not as inferior,
not as the school for poor mems children, but as
the light and air are common. 1t ought TO be the
best school, because it is the first school; and in
all good works the beginning is one half. Who
does not know the value to community of a
plentiful supply of the pure element of water!
And infinitely more than this is the Common
School, for it is the fountain at which the mind
drinks, and is refreshed and strengthened for its
career of usefulness and glory"

THE WORLD is BRIGHT BEFORE THEE.
HALLECK.

HALLECK.
The world is bright before thee;
Its summer flower is thine;
It's calm blue sky is DER thee;
Thy bosom virtues shrine:
And thine the sunbeam given
To natures morning hour;-
Pure, warm, as when from heaven
1t burst on Eden's bower.
There is song of sorrow
The deathdirge Of the gay
That tells, ere dawn of morrow.
These charms may melt away;
That SUMS bright beam be shaded,
That sky be blue no more,
The summer flowers be faded,
And youths warm promise DER.
Believe it not: though lonely
Thy evening home may be:
Though beautys bark can only
Float on summer sea;
Though time thy bloom IS stealing.
There's still, beyond his art.

SONG OF AN OLD M AN.

From every mountain glen,
From every craggy peak,
That mark our mighty land,
hear the voice speak A
hear the voice Of those
Whose fathers long ago,
With banners DER their heads,
Drove back the foreign foe.
By the snrging river side,
BY the cctters humble hearth,
There are whispering words Of love II -l
To the land that gave US birth.
The Maiden in her hall,
The father on his plains,
Far in the distant west
Have caught the patriot strains.
Hark on the coming breeze
Methinks hear the sound
Of millions speaking out
For their parents burial ground:
For Bunker's Hill of glory,
For Yorktown's sacred field,
For the ancient spirit too,
That bade Cornwalis yield
! see the banner waving,
hear the bugle note:
And, list again, there is a sound
AS irOin cannons throat.
'Tis signal for the People,
To league in firm array,
Against the dark'nng millions
That plough the ocean-way.

DIGNITY OF THE PREss.-Caleb Earle, form
erly Lieut.. Gov. of Rhode Island, is now CO
editor of the Providence Courier. In Paris, the
first of the nobility, and ablest and most distin-
gushed statesmen are the men that concoct par
agraphs for the daily press, and are not ashamed
to>be announced as editors and proprietors. Here
in our country this sheet anchor OF democracy has
become degenerate by the low personal abuse
and false doctrines and gross misrepresentation,
of which party journals made the vehicle. 1t
takes all the virtuous portion OF the Press to put
down the wicked part, and thus the action of this
great engine is not concentrated as it should be,
above all in this land of freedom, upon one grand
and sole oblect-THE PUBLIC GOOD.
We cannot, it is true, prevent men from OBJ
tanning the control Of Press who probably do
not possess the proper capacity or prudence, but
we can check many evils, and correct many abu-
ses, and enlighten public opinion, and sustain the
character and influence of the Press by a proper
esprit du corps. There is no necessity for Edi-
tors to SANDER and abuse each other because they
differ on politics or any other subject. Men can
maintain their doctrines with independence, and
each sustain his position without personal i'll
will.
| A man who wishes to break down the inhu-
ence of the Press, and destroy its character.
writes slanderous attack on an Editor of pa
per, accuses him by name Of all kinds of vice,
and carries it to an Editor of opposite politics, and
he inserts it. Here is the great error. To such
a writer, the answer should be, 81 refuse to in
sert any personal attack on colleague, however
strongly we may differ. can defend my princi-
Piles and the wishes of my party without abusing
a brother Editor, who differs with me-" Such a
course invariably pursued, would give great
weight and responsibility to the Press, and no
member of Congress would presume to indulge in
general and sweeping abuse the Press, as has
been recently done on the floor of the House of
Representatives. We owe it to ourselves to
commence this reform, by not encouraging per-
sons in no manner connected with the Press in
writing slanderous and abusive articles against
Editors generally. This self-respect maintained
will give force and influence to an honorable call
ing, which now suffers from unjust prejudices and
illiberal feelings, brought about, must say, in
part by dissentions among ourselves. Editors
certainly can agree upon some conventional forms
which would ensure important and valuable re-
suits to themselves, to their country and their oc-
cupation.-4Nar.

ed by the constitution. While opposition
TO their eeular operations cannot exist IN
his quarter, resistance to any attempt to
make the government dependent upon

public affairs, is matter OF duty, as
trust it will ever be of inclination, no mat
ter from what consideration or motive the
attempt may originate.
1t is no more than Just to the banks to
say, that, in the late emergency, most Of
them strongly resisted the strongest temp
tations to extend their paper issues, when
sustained in suspension OF
specie payments by public opinion, even
though in some cases invited by legislative
ennc,ments. TO this honorable course,
aided by the resistance of the general gov.
eminent, acting In obedience to the Con
situlion and laws Of the United States, to
the introduction of an irredeenahle paper
medium, may be attributed, in great de-
gree, the speedy restoration OF our currency

CANADIAN AFFAIRS.

The report we gave some days since of a
new organized insurrecton in Upper Canada,
would seem not to have been without some
foundation.
The following "rumor" was given in the Buffa-
10 Commercial of Thursday
The cars from the Falls which came up at
noon today, brought report OF an attack made
yesterday at Short Hills, about 20 miles from
the Falls, upon the detachment of British Lam
GERS stationed there, by party of insurgents in
which number were killed and wounded-on
which side we do not learn. The party oflan
GERS were only some eighteen 20,n number.
The same paper ofFriday gives the following
additional particulars:
A report was brought up by the cars this noon
that sixty regulars had been taken prisoners by
the insurgents, near Short Hills If this is true
it would indicate that there is more perfect or
ganizaton on their part than was supposed, and
that they are about to recommence active oper-
ations;abut we doubt the story altogether lfany
troops have been captured, they probably be-
long to the "Queen's Own" detachment of
which is stationed at Lundys Lane.
The NJ Y. Jour. of Commerce. contains the
following letter:
NIAGARA FRONTIER,
CHIPPEWA. U. e. June21.
l arrived here today, and find this place in
great excitement, owing to battle which took
place last night at "Short Hills" about twelve
miles hence between mounted troop of one hum
dred lancers and about two thousand patriots.
1t resulted in the loss of four lancers, and the
capture of nearly all the rest. The patriots are
fast gaining ground. 81 willsnot recede until they
succeed or are exterminated. This place is
garrisoned with 500 infantry, the 24th regiment,
and the Iancers, besides volunteers. per-
son is thoroughly searched before he can leave
the place.
The steamboat which lands passengers from
Buffalo is searched. They fear very much an
eruption in this place, and for that reason every
hotel is under guard, and every passage secured
by armed men. A body of U. s. troops are
quartered in Buffalo, and Gen. Brady and sever
al other officers left this morning for Detroit.
