THE FORMATION OF CHARACTER.

Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentlemen.
The subject chosen, rather for the discharge OF
a.duty by far too heavy for my capacity, than with
the hope of entertaining intelligent an audience Is
"IEe formation of Character" "Know thyself"
was maxim, regarded in ancient times as full of
WISDOM and indeed, it has not left little of its i'm
portance among the dusky centuries through which
it has descended to our own day. AS true is it now,
as when first uttered, as true when repeated by
poet of our own language with that equally impor-
tant addition

To The Editors Of The Enquirer:

To me Editors ~ me EHqhbu:
Gentlemen: My attention has been called 10 a
communication in your paper OF the Odd ullimo,
from "York River" upon the subject Of the oys-
Ter trade and oyster laws To the tide water re-
gion, This is subject of great Importance, lar
greater than is generally supposed. Those only
who are possessed VI accurate information, and
have devoted particular attention 10 The subject,
can estimate the magnitude Of the interest invoIv-
ed. agree with "York River" as 10 the extent
OF the mischet-lhat the trade has declined $50
far indeed as the Virgnian is concerned,) in the
face Of an increased demand and a diminished
product, and that in short time, with The present
system, il will be completely destroyed.
But We perhaps, differ as 10 the causes, as we
certainly do as 10 The remedies. He proposes 10
reduce the size Of the vessels 10 be engaged in
the trade 10 thirty tons. Now, il is perfectly clear
that reduction Of the size OF the vessels will
multiply The number. But experience has de-
monstraled that vessels of thirty tons arc far too
small TO be engaged in the coasling trade al that
Indictment season. or indeed al any season. The
interest Of The trade and humanity alike forbid a
reduction TO that extent, think The size oil The
vessels should be diminished do no, doubt, 10 so
or 20 tons; (lhere are very few as small now en-
poyed in The lrade;) not that believe that any
reduction whatever in the size ofihe vessels as an
isolated measure would have any influence in in
creasing the price or the "chances 10 SELL" but
for far different reason.
"York River" says, and says truly, that North
ern men monopolize the whole business; they
plant large quantities, own large vessels and en-
poy nearly all the rest "by charter or Otherwise"
Diminish the size, and willno, The same Northern
men continue to employ hem2 The same pow
er which controlled the large vessels will certain
" control the small ones also. They are both TO
be acted upon in the same manner, and the in
crease can only be carried TO certain extent.
II appears 10 me that The disease lies far deeper,
and will require other and more potent remedies
than any yet proposed We want no sectional
Legislation; We want general laws-one law for
the whole Commonwealth. We want The erea,
natural beds Of oysters protected, and their use
and advantage secured 10 The citizens OF the State,
10 the exclusion OF the citizens Of other States
We want the expectation diminished, and licensed
vessels alone engaged in the trade. We want
ample security that our laws are not violated ur-
on this subject, aud that another great interest be
not made 10 suffer BY this trade. We want pro-

TIE RESULT IN THE STATE.

large Wing majority in the Congressional delesa-
ton, make the summary Of The results oil Inc re-
cent contest in The Stale.
OF the causes which have brought about lhese
results we will moi permit ourselves 10 speak, Ill
the full record OF The iacls is before the people
There are sufficient revelations already TO snow
an exlentof proligacy and ialsehood which, wheh
unloded in iull length, will justify that deep IN
dignalion which now everywhere pervades .he
Democratic masses, and corroboraie The ilrm PuI'
pose with which they are prepared 10 move
But We forbear comment on these, Till hrs ms
tory Of the betrayal OF every cherished principle;
of State and National policy, OF ialsehood and
duplicily. Of violation Of Democratic usage and
faith, and Of indecent coalition, is brought 10 It's
last disgraceiul chapter. The story is nol with
out It's parallel in The record OF The former ie'
verses Of The Democratic party. Nor, we cohli-
IDENTIFY trust, will the quick recovery oil It's ener-

The Pennsylvania speaking OF the result says:
The opposition have become victorious Just

lourn This success ill the Autumn OF lS47, they
miph, have passed into the campaign Of 1918,
nll of hone and confidence. But time is a sad
DESTROYER Of Federal prospects. IL is either the
in,oxica,ion of fancied good, or the delirnm OF
a fancicd evil or some circumstance equally un-
steady. that ever carries i, into place. Time
brnGs sobriety and reason and when these are
restored Democracy is restored with them. Their
idle and unsafe predictions in regard 10 the tariff,
will alone be proved before the 4lh OF july and
as the fro.l.work OF this humbug melts and falls
before the searching truth, the cause OF justice
will rise sloriously in lis place. II was well,
therefore. Tor our contemporary of the U. S. Ga
ze,,e 10 say that federalism had won this victory
TOO soon.
This single view Of our defeat covers The whole
subject. The lime that serves 10 dojustice 10 The
cause of right, will also quicken the seeds Of F'e
deral dissolution; and those unjust combinations
by which these victories have been won, will bear
the fatal trui, that is produced BY dishonest
or dishonorabe cause.
Like the prudent sailor, who, when the storm
is over a.cends 10 the masthead, TO take look
out we shall turn this adversely 10 glorious &C
count. In few months, the whole rank and file
will be ready for the fight, and burning with anx-
iety 10 oblilerae all The membranes OF our lale

THE EARTHQUAKE OF THE 25TH OF
AUGUST.-Il will be remembered, that on the
18th OF August shock OF an earthquake was
Tell in Boston and in other parts Of New Eng
land. II is suggested that this shock was vibra-
ton caused by violent eruption which took
place in Mount Heca, in Iceland. A letter, da-
led Copenhagen, Sept 81. which has been pub
l'shed, among other items Of European nlcl-
gencc, says
ave have just received news from Iceland to
the 18th, and from The Ferroe Islands 10 the 25:h
ult. Never in the memory Of man has there been
more ,isagreeab'e summer than the present.
The bad weather prevented he Danish, German,
French, Belgian and English mrans from pursu-
ing their researches into the slale Of Mount llccla,
but they had decided on passing The winter in Ice
land, in order to profit by The cold and dry wea-
ther 10 carry on their investigation. Toward noon
on the 22d ult., there was a sudden and vIolctt
eruption If Mount Hecla, The commencement; oi
which was accompanied by several shocks oi
earthauake extending To a radius OF about three
miles, e. French leasues) The eruption lasted
about 10 minutes; the flames rose 10 an immense
height, and all the country around The volcano
was covered with thick layer Of ashes"
On this the Philadelphia North American re-
marks
"There can be little doubt that The earthquake
on The morning of the 25.h of August, felt in Mas
sachusetts proceeded from The eruption Of Elecla
at noon on The 221. The distance, we presume,
is about 25 geographical degrees, so lhalthe vbra-
lion or pusaiion travelled al The rate Of "a miles
per hour.
We have no knowledge Of how fast the vibra-
tons OF an earthquake travel-but "a miles an

this is all earthquakes can do in the hour, why,
