Is The FOURIER CONVENTION met on Thurs
day the l4th pursuant to adjournment Dr.
WIN. PRICE was called 10 the Chair; and JOHN
WHITE appointed Secretary, and w. McDAR-
MID Assistant Secretary.
The following are among the delegates IN at
tendance: Wade Loofborrow, Esq. of Washing
ton, Fayette Co. O., j. II. Hill, of Cambridge
city, Ia, Dr. ]. Radcliffe j. B. Rogers, d. Pru-
den, of Dayton, ]. 8. Steward, OF Higginsport,
Brown Co., O., Mr.. Boggs and others.
The Convention are now engaged IN the DIS
cusson of a Constitution for Phalanx-an ar
duous work-inaSmuch as the interests OF La
Dor, Skill and Capital, are each to be protected,
and their rights secured in such a manner as to
allow of no collision; and which, if effected, must
certainly prove good work. 1t cannot be de
MED that the relations which at present exist be-
tween Capital and Labor are such as to work
oppression to the latter while they fail TO secure
a safe return of profits to the former; and this,
the Assocatonsts affirm, is the inevitable result
Of their antagonistic relations, besides beng the
prolific source of many other evils 10 unite
these now conflicting interests Is the enc and
aim of these Relormers. They are sanguine IN
tie faith OF their principles; and 1t must be ad-
mit,ed that they have plausible grounds to Work
mon. We wish them success.

NEW YoRK AND ERIE RAILRoAD.-1he present

position III society, all of them men of character
and integrity, and most Of them men of extensive
property. On entering upon their duties they
made no promises of what they would perform,
but simply stated that they would carefully exam
inc INTO the practcablity of the enterprise, and if
they deemed 1t proper to proceed in the work they
would report to the public accordingly, or other
wise they would retire. They made their exam
nations, became fally satisfied of the utility fea
sollty and proftablencss of the road, and having
first relieved the Company from the embarrass-
ments under which they found it, they make their
Report and call upon the City of New-York to step
forward and aid in the completion Of this great
work. 1t is folly in the extreme to suppose that
these Directors viii move in this matter any faster
or any further than the public wish them to do If
our City does not wish to have the road construct
ed, the Directors can retire and not one of them
be loser to the amount Of one thousand dollars.

not greater for New-York than S1,0O0,OO0 for

Association and Education.


P. O. cites US half column of extracts rca-
tive to the training of Youth from Mr. Brisbancs
pamphlet on Association, and wishes them re-
concied with certain axloms Of Morality and the
Scriptures. AS his queries were avowedly drawn
forth by the recent manifesto Of Messrs Charming,
Goodwin, SC in our paper of Saturday, the shortest
answer will be found in the following explicit
statement extracted therefrom, viz:
ct he only questions which the world dis
tine. body or class of thinkers, are these
LIST. Can and ought Industry be organic ed be
rendered more economical It's methods effective

AS SCeo we contne ourselves these points, while as
Individuals hold ourselves liberty express such sent
ments entertain all questions of human
We do not know how it is possible to be more
explicit than this, nor how fair mind can con-
found the reasons for such Association adduccd
by Fourier and Brisbane, or the advantages which
they anticipate from it, with the thing itself. The
system of Education proposed by them may have
many points Of superiority over the old one Gas we
think it has and yet be found on trial impracti
cable or pcrnicious in other particulars What
they profess is to have observed and followed Ma
turc, and thus to have devised the means of i'm
planting all desirable knowledge in the young
mind by methods i"trinsically Attractive-of im-
buing 1t with right principles and purposes from
a desire to learn, from pleasure in KNOWLEDGE
and its uses, and never from the terror of aptbor
ty or the pam inflicted by therod. Their funda-
mental idea may be valuable and yet their sug-
gested methods exceedingly defective; or, again,
their notions OF Education may be entirely false.
and yet Industrial Association be expedient and
necessary. Association is not to be held respon-
sible for the views with which it is embraced or
advocated by any man, much less for the opin-
ions of any OF its advocates on matters extraneous
from itself Such is the obvious dictate Of Justice.
No man, for instance, thinks Of holding Chris
tianity responsible for the opinions of Origen, ia

ORANGE COUNTY WING CONVENTION.

ORANGE COUNTY WING CONVENTION.
We should be glad to furnish a more detailed &C =
count of this convention but the pressure of other
matter prevents. The following is from the Pro-
tector extra
The Committee on Resolutions reported the fol-
lowing:
Resolued, That in the nomination of HENRY
CLAY for the Presidency, the wings of the United
States may not only hope for victory, but also that
their long cherished principles, which regard a
sound stable currency, and protection to the pro-
ductiye industry of the country, as intimately in
terwoven with national prosperity, will be per-
manently seated in the bosoms of every independ-
ent American republican.
Resolved, That the highest ecomium we are able
to bestow upon Theodore Frelnghuysen, or any
other individual, is the expression ofour confidence
| in the opinion, which we do unreservedy at this
time, that he is utterly unlike John Tyler
RESOLVED, That in the nomination of JAMES X.
| POLK for the Presidency we behold only deter
mined effort to destroy the energy of our govern
ment, except for the promotion of evil, TO depress
the interests of American Agriculture, commerce
and manufactures, to perpeuato slavery, and to
complete by humbuggay, what Martin Van Buren,
could not do by magic.
Resolved That while we accord TO the rank and
file of the Northern self,styled democracy the
same desire which is entertained by ourselves, to
1osler anu encourage the industry OF the country,
we regard the futile attempts of their leaders 10
reconcile deadly hostility to the protective policy
with belief that they are aiming at higher pro-
tectiye tariff than the wings are willing TO admit,
proof Of a desperate design TO barter the dear
est interests of the North and eopardze the iber-
ties of the whole country for supremacy of party,
based exclusively upon its subsevency to the slave
interests Of the South.
RESOLVED, That we hereby express our unaltera-
BILE determination never to abandon our opposition
to party prostituted to so vile purpose as that
which now guides the supporters of Mr.. Polk, mol
will we ground our arms to party, the very exis.
tence of which is based upon the assumed harm
lessness Of that determined policy.
RESOLVED, That we regard the project of annex.
ing Texas to the United States as finally defeated
and that we apprehend no farther danger therefrom
but we would seriously warn the country agains
any project that may hereafter be originated to an
ner The United States 10 Ieras.

AUNT NANCY.
BY MRS. C. II. BUTLER.

b1 MRS. u IA. bOILth
Just where one of those quiet shady lanes e.
merges into the broad, open meadow stands little
grove of horse-chestnuts locusts snowballs, and
lilacs; and if you put aside the branches, you will
see little brown house reposng in the centre, like
a partridge on her nest In this quiet little cot
lives an elderly maiden, known throughout our vii.
lage as Aunt Nancy" AS you peep through the
branches of the TALL white ilacs Should it be in the
morning. you will probably see Aunt Nancy weed
ing among the beet and onion beds, or looking with
pleased eye upon the clusters of "china pinks,"
"jimp-up;j ohnnies," and "none so prettyS," which
border the walk through the centre of this little
garden plot Or, Should it be in the evening" you
will find her with her clean muslin cap and specta-
cles her snowy 'kerchief pinned over her bosom,
and ner neat gingham dress, sitting by the window.
Before her is placed small round table or stand,
on which the Bible lies open, and you will perceive
that the eyes and thoughts of good Aunt Nancy
are deeply engrossed in the sacred page she is
studying.
The history of Aunt Nancy is this:
@She was born in the same house where she is
now sitting, of pious, industrious parents; but
while yet very little girl, misfortune came sud
denly upon her father, and he was forced to mort
gage the homestead on which they lived. Sick
ness soon after fell upon him; vainly he abored to
redeem his birthright; it was swept from him, ant
at length, broken hearted, the poor man died. Fo
a time, his widow and only child struggled on il
followed her husband to the grave, and poor little
Nancy was left triendless and fororn in the world
kind neighbor received the orphan child into he
family, and as soon as she was old enough she wa.
put out to service. Little Nancy was gentle anC
mournfu child, for she had known but sorrow ant
dependence. One bright ray illumed the dsrl
memory of the past-her earliest days of child
hood. To these, her thoughts ever required; AM
often would the poor child be found at nipbtfall
when her tasks for the day were ended, glidin.
like a shadow under the old stone wall, or sitting
with her pale face resting on her hand, at the foo
of the large button-ball which shadowed the litt
brook ,gurgng past her fathers door; the doc
around which when happier little thing, she ha
so merrlly sported, catching the butterflies in tn
deep clover, or listening to the birds which no
where ever sang SO sweetly.
AS Nancy grew Older one all.absorbing though
by degrees took possession of her mind. 1t was
strange idea for one so young, SO poor and friend
less for 1t was to redeem, with her own hands, tina
cherished spot--the home-from which poverty ha
driven forth her dear parents
When she was about fourteen, lady, who ha
been spending few weeks in our village, by chanc
met with the orphan child, and being pleased wit

Lime and Rats.-A gentleman of this city, who
had occasion to use considerable lime about his
premises which had heretofore been much infested
with rats, informed us that these destructive little
animals had suddenly ceased to appear or to annoy
him:-" Before using the lime," said he, "you could
scarcely walk across the yard after dark without
treading on them" He showed us several of their
principal holes around which he had deposited
small portion Of fresh or unslacked lime, which ev-
identity had the effect of driving them away from
these places, which they had before resorted to in
great numbers. The above is a simple and cheap
method of getting rid of this annoying and de-
structve pest; suppose you try it.-.)lemphis .4p-
