it will not hurt him.
Do rot permit the smith when he shoes
your horse TO cut GU, any portion OF the soft

ruin him.
lfyou want your horse to last, and your

Do not keep horse too fat nor too lean,

An interesting article on the subject of
reform in the present system ofschool teach
ing, from the Albany Argus, viii be found
on the outside of to-day's paper. Although
written more especially for the home merl-
dian, it is capable of universal application,
and worthy of universal attention. The
mode of instruction followed, particularly in
our common schools, lacks in every particu-
lar, so far as the substantial improvement of
the mind is concerned. 1t may be termed
a system of stuffing; the mind is loaded to
excess, and there is no analysis or digestion.
In nine cases out of ten the pupil is utterly
unable to make practical application OF his
daily studies. When he gets out of the book
he IS lost: and when his studies are compile
ted, il is seldom he has the basis upon which
to build up an education for himself. Aside
from the elements, we are of opinion that
knowledge can be communicated to the mind
more readily by conversational lessons than
by any other mode Take teacher of sound
general information, let him collect his scho-
lars round him in classes according TO their
mental capacities. and address them in ia
mliar conversation, instructing them on ev-
cry subject of interest and importance ques-
tioning them and directing them in the pro-
per course of investigation for themselves.
and they will acquire knowledge rapidly, it
will be of the right kind, and always at hand
for practical and beneficial application.
How many things are there to be learnt of
importance, which are not found in the ordi-
nary books of schools. Why should not the
young mind as it is growing in strength, be
trained in those matters. Nature teens with
subjects of study which are IMPRACTICAL value
They can very easily in plain language, be
made familiar to the mind. For instance,
what is of more Importance to every one.
than a proper knowledge of his system both
mental and physical, and its relation to the
laws by which it is governed. This might
be made plain in few lessons; at least the
mind might receive an impulse and be so d.
rected, that by reflection, it would feed itsel
with the proper aliment. A knowledge Of
this kind would to every one be of incalcula
BILE benefit, but yet such a thing as making
it common study is not thought of Many
other things too, knowledge of which ha:
been considered as the property alone of the
rich and fortunate, might readily be made the
property of all. 1t would be but little trou
BILE to make every man his own Doctor, hi
own Lawyer, and his own guide generally
and sooner or later such will be the case
But we need not pursue the subject; the re
marks of the Argus, will doubtless have thei
full weight.

Inc Milwaukee Democrat contains an IN
teresting article with regard to the early con-
dition of Milwaukee. and its rise and progress
Speaking of the early opinions of some with
regard TO it, it has the following: :" Eight
years ago last May" says friend, II inqui-
red of fellow-treveller in Chicago who had
inst returned from m excursion 10 the loca-
lily of the present city of Milwaukee, which
was then talked of as something ere long TO
come into existence, concerning the local
advantages of the place, and the prospect of
its ever becoming large business and COM
mercial town. His reply was, in substance
II is composed of shrub-oak hill, tamarack
swamp, and wet marsh The place has nei-
Their tavern, store. mechanic shop, boarding
or dwelling house, with the exception of some
six or eight miserable log shantces. 1t has
not more than four or five white families, and
neither road nor mill, nor any thing like the
beginning of farm within fifty miles of it..
There are those who talk of the practicable
ty of constructing harbor there, which |
think, is doubtful But if it should be found
practicable, and should be actually done,
see not who are to be benefited by it except
the Pottaowatamies In Short continued
my informant, Il have scarcely ever been
more vexed with myself than for being fool
ish enough to go and see it." 1t is not
strange that this opinion should at that time
have been entertained 1t required more
than ordinary perception to predict at that
time, for Wisconsin, the change which she
has undergone in so short a period. The
whole country then, with the exception of
the northeast and northwest, was one I'M
broken wilderness; now settlement with the
evidences of active industry cover the face
of the land The same doubts which were
entertained in the early settlement of Mil
waukee, were doubtless to a great extent.
entertained by the early settlers here. We
presume the most sanguine, six years ago
could hardly have anticipated for Southport
her present size and prosperity. We came
here little more than three years ago; at that
time south of Market street, the town plot
was almost an unbroken forest now we count
eighteen stores doing an active business. anc
several rooms intended for stores being rap
idly completed This, besides shops of va
rious descriptions. AS for dwelling houses
it is safe TO say, that one half the population
of the village is south of that line; and the
progress of improvement in other quarters o
the town has been nearly as rapid. A glance
at the country will make manifest the caus,
of this. 1t is rapidly filling up with men o
active industry; and the land which has beer
heretofore unproductive, is being made rap
idly to yield its fruits. The connection i
intimate between the country and the town
, As the face of the country is subdued AM
changed under the hand of industry, the sz
and business of the town must correspond

been witnessed with regard to our territory
we NAV exclaim:
I"Who shall place limit to the giants unchaine
strength,
Or curb his swiftne.s in the forward race"

in this instance, a sio kofaaI of wheat
yielded about half pint. A more prolific
product than this, we doubt has ever been
seen. The adaptedness of the soil and eli
mate of this country to the production of
most kinds of grain and vegetables is every
dav demonstrated by the numerous speci-
mems of agricultural products which are ex
hbited by our farmers. The farmers Of this
county would doubtless contribute TO the
or, if they were in the habit of giving an ac-
count of their harvests through the medium
OF the papers-the quantity of grain sov.ed
or planted, the time of sowing, the manner
of preparing the ground, and the products
harvested, are all matters in which every
farmer is deeply interested, and matters in
which farmers can render each other much
assistance by imparting their experience il
the business of agriculture. Where agricul
tural societies exist, farmers have an appro-
pirate medium through which they can gail
or impart much valuable agricultural iniorma
ton; but unfortunately in Racine county We
have no such society-nevertheless mucl
good could be accomplished iffarmers would
communicate through the papers of the
county, the results of their experiments IN
the growing of the several kinds of grain
and in the rearing of stock. Agriculture Is
practical science, and like most other
sciences, is yet destined to great improve
ments.

On Thursday the committee on resolu-
presented a series of the former, with the
heads Of the lat:cr,.( hereafter to be presen-
ted to the convention at Ienglh) which were
read to the meeting. The report was ac-
copied Ii was resolved 10 take the ques-
ton upon the resolutions separately, and
after an able speech from Mr.. Daveszac,
the question was taken on the first reso-
luton, which is in the following words:-
Whereas the division Of the human race
into those great families of men, called
nations, is advine ordinance, intended to
deveiope and give activity 10 the nobler
powers and sentiments of the mind; and
whereas every attempt either by direct
force or by the slow and insidious machina-
tons Of fraud or misgovernment, to deprive
any people Of their independent national
existence, initiates against this ordinance
tends 10 the degradation and debasement
Of that people, and thereby to prejudice
the general society of mankind-there-
fore.
Resolved, That it is the right and NOR
al duty Of all free states and Of all good
men to exert their peaceful influence to
prevent such injurious attempts, and to
shield the threatened state from destruc-
ton.
The resolution, with the preamble, was
unanimously adopted. The second resolu-
ton, as follows, was then read:-
Resolved, That Judging the present leg
isative union Of Great Britain and Ire
land, by the mauifestly parricidal charac-
ter Of the nc: itself on the part Of the Irish
parliament, by the means which were en-
ployed 10 obtain it, by the blighting con-
sequences to the trade, commerce, manu-
features, and agriculture Of Ireland, which
have attended its existence. by The fierce
and unreasoneing tenacity. with which, as
robbers to their prey, successive British
ministries OF Great Britain persist In mann
tanning the union, while the united millions
of oppressed Ireland with one voice de-
mand its repeal-thiS convention OF the
friends of Ireland, in the United States of
America, pronounce that union n device
for the gradual and piece-meal destruction
in Ireland of those moral and physical ele.
ments Of power, without which a nation
cannot exist; and declare our fixed and
unaiterable conviction that it was, and is
intended for subjugation and debasement of
the Irish people, and their utter extinction
as a nation.
DR.. O. Callahan, of Albany, moved to
amend this resolution by softeuing the
phraseology. The amendment was op-
posed by Mr.. Tucker, of thir city,and, after
some brief remarks from other gentlemen,
laid upon the table. The resolution was
then adopted Boston Post.
