Prentice says:-"rhe leaders of the Locoioco par
ty seem bent on achieving two objects, namely: the
embroiliug of this country in war with Great
Britain, and the accommodation Of the tariff 20 the
revenue standard. We think the two objects utterly
inconsistent with each other. II the nation goes to
war with Great Britain, revenue o! nearly hun

the recations Of their children expressed much graf
hcauon in view of the marked progress and general
behavior Of the whole school
We noticed one Thing at the close the school, as
the scholars we're about separating that TO w, was
very pleasing That wns, the respectful and good
social feeling manifested by the members OF the
school by both sexes showing plainly that tho free
intercourse connenunced in the school had served TO
cultivate the kindler feelings OF the heart, thereby
rendering the students happier FOR the time being and
also fitting them 10 minge with the world in after
life in manner to make them more useful to their
fellows and. indeed, themselves. While studying
other books they thus have opened to them the great
book of Human Nature, and reading ii intelgently,
they throw around themselves n shield Of protection
from the wes of the wicked. and are better prepared
