mated IN the principles Of democracy / would at

understandings, 10 know what apology would be Of

well this plan before adopting Il, and his parti
zans probably fatter themselves that some plausible
account Of his motives can be given are curious
TO know what that account would be- II is possible
that such are his views Of the Presidential Office,
and of the position which the President should
sumo in relation 10 the people, that he considers il
the whole best that the man who is elected to the
Chief Magistracy should present himself in The alti
ude II popular leader; ayow his policy harangue
his party, and by personal influence gain over as
many as possible 10 his support. Is this The view
which his friends attribute to him, or which they
are disposed to take2 1t is very different view
from that which regards the President only as an
Executive officer allowed by the Constitution 10
make such suggestions TO the Legislative department
as he may from time 10 time see Fl, and appointed
10 preside over the operations OF our constitutional
system.
II must be confessed that the growing disposition
to regard the President as the champion Of parti-
cular scheme course Of policy is TO great extent
counenanced and cherished at present. by all par
ties; and II is high time that rejecting men should
consider whether they do not seriously err In this
respect. But il is not our design now TO enter on
discussion Of the system of instruction and pledges
Unless some exposition Of Mr.. Van Buren's de-
signs, in pursuing such course before the public
he has done in his visit 10 the NORTH can be given
by his friends, which shall reconcile this course with
high and honorable views, he must, we think, suf-

the community. Did he set out with determine
ton 10 brave the opinion OF this class, provided he
could cajoe the rabbe? We cannot believe that
he omitted to count the cost of his enterprise. Let
some Of the advocates of his principles and policy
come forward and clearly show the principle on
which this party tour is made. That It is openly
and undsguisedly party tour, think one
will soberly deny. 1t must be defended as party
tour, If nationally defended at all.

LYING rAuaHr no cHILpREN.

A spirited writer in the Annals Of Educa-
ton, specifies several ways in which the art
of living is taught. It is taught in families
and in schools. Lies are told 10 children by
hundreds and thousands long before they can
speak. This may be done by looks and ac-
tons as well as by words. All deception IN
the view Of the writer, is lying. And un-
donbtedly he is correct. How much lying
then, there must be- in the world.
We will give two or three examples illus
tratiye Of the ways in which lies are told to
children, and by which they are taught TO
lie.
You have something on your table or
about your person, which your child mani
tests a desire to obtain. You tell him i is
not fit for him, or attempt 10 conceal 1t. How
long will it be before he will attempt to con-
ceal from you something which il is convent
ent for him to yieldl And when he has
reached this stage Of lying. how long will it
be before he will take another degree in the
same craft, and attempt to deceive you in
words II is but a step from lie in coun-
tenance TO the lie in act-and but another
step from the lie IN action to the lie in word
or deed
Take another example Your child is i'll;
we wish him to take nauceous medicine
He is assured that il is agreeable TO his taste.
We sip a little, and assume cheerful APP
pearance of countenance. But he soon
learns that he has been deceived--and how
long will it be before he loses all confidence
in our yeracity-and not only so, but is en-
couraged 10 repeat, in this way and sphere,
our own unhappy example.
As child grows older, and becomes more
and more acquainted with society, especially
that part Of society which ought 10 be known
to him most favorably, does he find a more
strict adherence to truth in those around him
Rather does not everything in this respect
wax worse Does he not find falsehood
current everywhere, and on almost all occa-
siOns
Parents, brothers, and sisters smile and
look kindly to visitors, urging them to stay
longer or call again soon-with thousand
like assurances Of friendship-and yet how
common is it, as soon as they are out OF hear
ing. not only to criticise their character and
manners, but to show by our looks and ac-
tons, if we do not say it in words, that we
are glad they are gone. Of lying by saying
g not at home when we are so, and requiring
our children or domestics to say the same,
it is scarcely necessary that we should speak,
so obviously evil are its consequences
These examples might be multiplied to an
indefinite extent. They will prove sufficient
however for our purpose, if they awaken the
attention OF our r, aders to this subject so that
they see how wide spread is the sin Of lying
--practised in ten thousand ways daily, both
by parents and children. The evil is alarm.
ing and should be checked. Parents, and all
who have charge Of, or instruct children
should see to it that they deceive not, either
by word or action. Children are imitators,
and are naturally more disposed to initiate a
bad example than good one.

CIVILIZED AND SAVAGE.

We'd thank any body to define these two
terms, and tell eractly what makes a savage
and what civilized parsonage Among
savages every man is regarded as honest in
civilized society, we are taught to regard all
as rogues. Among savages, if family leave
their wigwam to visit neighbor, they put a
stick against the door on the outside, to show
the passers by they are absent; in civilized
society, bars and bolts and locks are hardly a
sufficient security. Savages manage their
matters without prisons civilization fills the
country with them. Savages ornament their
noses with jewels civilized men hang them
around their necks, or let them dangle in front
while the ladies suspend them gracefully
from their ears and waists. Savages dress
their hair with feathers; civilized ladies and
military characters do the same to their hats
Savages paint their faces it would be I'M
gallant to say iadies in civilized society do
such ridiculous thing-hut we have seen
their beauty run off their sweet countenances
in such streaks, in very warm gathering.
that we strongly suspected it. Savages ex-
pend much needle work and labor in beau,i-
flying their moccasins; civilized men and
women do the same to their vesl,re. Savage
females are remarkably fond Of beads and
shells - did you ever see the like" among
those who are civilized? .
Which, then, deserve to be considered
barbarians For, after close investigation
OF the matter-saving in one or two particu-
lars, where the savage has the decided pre-
ference-thc whole difference appears to be
in matters Of taste. But if we condemn the
taste of the savage, he has an equal right to
condemn our own; and there again we are
reduced to an equality. We have learned to
read--and savages have not but we delight
more in reading things that tend neither to
make us wise, nor improve our morals, than
IN those which do-and where are we the
better The fault, however, is not in civil
zation-but in the want Of it in our semi
savage love of frippery and nonsense; in
morals.

From the N. Y. Ga-eftc,

Ina work just published by Mr. De veaux OF Niaga-
ra Falls to assist the tourist in his examination Of the
Falls, the following anecdote is told Of Mr.. Bates
Cook, the present Comptroller Of this State In the
language Of contemporary we say. The Argus calls
Mr.. Cook Federalist" Let those who read the
suhoined anecdote tells Us Of what Mr. Cooks federal
ism consists To Us there seems to be more manly
republcansm in the composition Of such character,
than would be very easy to gather from about fifty
brigades OF such democrats make themselves
noisy over the federalism they born in. Mr.
Bates Cook is good enough federaist for our use.
