OF SIX PRESIDENTS OF THE UNI
TED STATES IN FAVOR OF TEMPERANCE.
ALBANY. N. Y. Feb. l. lS4.

To the Editor Of the Argus:--Being in
Virginia during the life of President Madi-
son, and while the friends of Temperance,
under an apprehension that distilled liquor
was the chief cause ofintemperance, were
exerting themselves TO induce the public
TO abandon the use of such liquor as a be-
verage, the undersigned called on that dis
tinguished statesman and procured his sig
nature to the following declaration. I'm.
mediately thereafter the signatures Of Pre-
sident jackson and President Adams were
obtained. In commemoration of this event,
a silver medal was struck in England, and
presented to each Of the gentlemen. Re-
Gently, the names Of President Van Buren,,
President Tyler, and President Polk have
been added to the same declaration. So
that with the exception of President Har-
rison, who was prevented by death from
expressing his well known sentiments, all
the Presidents Of the United States who
have lived since the temperance reforma-
ton commenced, have now given their
testimony against the use of Distilled Ii.
quors as beyerage--the only liquors ge-
Morally believed at the time the first sig
natures we're obtained to be productive of
inebriety. Yours. &c.

DECLARATION.

Being satisfied from observation and
experience, as well as from medical testi-
mony, that ardent spirits as drink is not
only needless, but hurtful, and that the en-
tire disuse of itwould tend to promote the
health, the virtue and the happiness of the
community, we hereby express our con-
viction, that should the citizens of the Uni
ted States, and especially the young men,
discontinue entirely the use of it, they
would not only promote their own personal
benefit, but the good Of their country, and
the world JAMES MADISON,
ANDREW JACKSON,
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS,

The PHENOMENON OF THE BRAIN. -
One of the most inconceiyable things in
the nature of the brain, is that the organ
OF sensation should itself be inscnsible.-
To cut the brain gives no pain, yet in the
brain alone resides the power Of feeling
pain in any other part Of the body. If the
nerve which leads 10 it from the injured
part be divided, we become instantly un.
conscious of suffering. II is only by com
munication with the brain that any kind Of
sensation is produced; yet the organ itself
is insensible. But there is circumstance
more wonderful still. The brain itself may
be removed, may be cut away down to the
corpus calosum, without destroying life
The animal lives and performs all those
functions which are necessary TO simple
vitality, but has no longer mind; it can
not think or feel; it requires that the food
should be pushed into its stomach; once
there, it is diges'ed, and the animal will
even thrive and grow fat. We infer,
therefore, that the part of the brain called
the convoutions, is simply intended for
the exercise Of the intellect and faculties,
whether of the low degree called instinct,
or of that exalted kind bestowed on man,
the gift of reason. Wigda.

put to severe work on full stomach;
more horses are hurt by hard driving af-
ter full feed, than by full feed after hard
driving.

The SoHooLMAsTER.-There is no Office
higher than that of teacher Of youth, for
there is nothing on earth SO precious as
the mind, soul, and character Of the child.
No office should be regarded with greater
respect. The first minds in the commu-
nifty should be encouraged to assume it,
Parents should do all but impoverish them
selves to induce such 10 become the guar
dams and guides of their children. To
this good all their show and luxury should
be sacrificed. Here they should be lavish
whilst they straigbten themselves in every
thing else. They should wear the cheap.
est clothes, live on the plainest food, if they
can in no other way secure TO their fami.
lies the best instruction. They should
have no anxiety 10 accumulate property
for their children, provided they can place
them under influences which will awaken
their faculties, inspire themswith pure and
high principles, and fit them to bear a
manly, useful, and honorable part in the
world. No language can express the cru
city or folly Of that economy which, to
leave fortune to a child, slaryes his intel
lect and impoverishes his heart.
