WHAT IS USEFUL EDUCATION.

We put tho question IN retereuce 10 the
great body Of the American youth, who
are to earn their bread by the sweat OF their
brows, and, under Providence, 20 WELD the
iutcre destinies of our country. Two prin
clples should be aimed alto provide for
themselves honorably under ordinary con
tngencles-and qualifying them TO become
useful to society. The times as well as
universal experience abundantly admonsh
that, however the children of wealth may
indulge in Incidence and dissipation, while
their means lasl--the great mass Of Amer,
can youth must and ought 10 depend upon
their labor for their fortunes aud their use.

patrimonial dependence is uncertain, and
reliance upon the friendship or charity Of

help themselves. Productive labor is the

neatly printed sheet and deserving the pa
tronage ofevery man whose wish is the vel
fare of his country The address is TOO
lengthy for publication, but it can easily be
obtained; as it is published IN most of the
larger papers in the South. Their object
is the repeal ofthe Naturalization laws; and
the abolishing Of the privileges heretofore
granted to foreigners; which are at present
almost adequate to those enjoyed BY the
Native American Citizens. The design
is quite plausible and We sincerely hope il
may succeed.
