therefore more common in Western than
in Eastern Virginia. both among whites
and blacks. but the increase is much
greater among the latter, which is prob
ably to be accounted for. by the larger

of the increased prevalence among the
whites is less obvious. As observation,
by no means limited, had previously to
the census produced the opinion that
adjocy was more co.nmon West Of the
Blue Ridge than East Of il. and as the
census fails to express whether insanity
Or idiocy is the more common form of
the disease. we might feel inclined to
select the latter as most abundant, and
explain it by the opinion of ESqusro!,
that idiocY was most prevalent in noun
famous regions from some endemic cause
peculiar to such districts, had We not
been reminded by DR.. Dunglison, that

famous. do not support the rule, it can
not be absolute. Whatever be the cause.
the fact. shows the truth of the statement
previously made, that insanity is not in
this country as 10 England, proportion
ace with agriculture, as East of the
mountains, about SO per cent. of the pop
uIation are engaged in agriculture, and
West Of it but about 25 per. cent. 1t
will doubtless excite surprise, that in the
seaboard district, composed of the emf
nently malarial counties, mental disease
is less prevalent than in other portions
of the State, the proportion being in
1O49, including both blacks and whites,
in the country between this district
and the Blue Ridge / in $40, and West
of the Blue Ridge, in 70S, showing a
gradual increase as we ascend from the
sea level.
In reviewing the subject, we find much
reason to congratulate ourselves upon
the absence from our country of many
causes predisposing to insanity which are
prevalent in. .Earope, and that those pc
culiar to our.sociaI and political institu-
tons will fidd an effectual check in edu-
cation founded on a moral and religious
basis. 1t is gratifying to the philanthro-
pist to find in education both an antIdote
to the evils of gu, political system, and
a security for its permanence and sue
cess, thus making the cause of America
the cause of the world, and the cause of
her people the cause of humanity

STILL TRUE TO ENGbAND4

We take the following from the sketch (by a
FederalisD of the Speech of Daniel Webster, de-
livered few days ago at the Federal Mass Meet
ing in Boston:
GA man in the crowd exclaimed "'They are all
slaves in England n'-upon which Mr. Webster
turned his eye rapidly in that direction and said
" My friend, did not your father come from Eng
land free man 2" And then, his eye flashed with
fire and indignation, he poured forth torrent of
rebuke, which elected perfect tornado of ap-
?lause: Curling his lip and looking the speaker
through with his piercing eye, he continued 'What
blood, pray, do you inherit? ALI slaves in Eng
land: What liberty there is in the world, out Of
our own country, is in England. 1t IS inferior only
10 our own, and in great degree controlled by The
ancient establishments of the country, but all the
liberty that is consistent with the prevalence of
law and order, established in that country does
there exist And whence come the principles of
the right of suffrage the glorious system of trial
by jury; the privileges of the habeas corpus act,
the fearless independence of free press and til e
right of public assembly? All these are derived
from England, and still exist in England, where

that there are slaves in England! The "man in
the crowd " spoke truly, and we are glad he did
speak, for his words ruffled the temper of the
God-like. and betrayed him into the use of Ian
guage which well becomes Tory. But listen
TO this same Daniel Webster in another portion of
the same speech:

Such is the language which a leading English
paper holds in regard to those Southern Senators
who voted to reject the late Treaty for ahnexing
Texas to the Union. The American correspond
ent of the London Times had written that +" Mr..
Barrow "a Louisiana senator) voted against the
Treaty, believing that his State was in favor Of
it-but he was prepared to sacrifice himself on
the altar of his country" On which the Times
thus comments:

treaty because John g. Adams and the abolition
believed it was necessary for him TO do so to Sc

to put Mr.. Clay into the Presidency, that Mr. Clay
might have the. power TO reward and pension his

it was the duty of the Senate TO vote IN favor of
the treaty. and the fact they rejected such treaty
