Education.
No. III.

Something has already been said in re.
gard to the proper definition of this term,
and the general considerations which urge
the sui ject upon our attention.
There are also special reasons, connect.
ed with the position of our Legislature,
and the excellent system just established
for the improvement of Common Schools
which require not only the early attention
of the friends OF education, but their i'm
mediate and concerted action.
il our legisla'or s were not yet aware Of
the importance of education upon The So
cial and civil state; especially, if they
were inclined 10 confirm the adage ap-
piled 10 the one, Society that Ignorance
is bliss" and the fact alIedged of the 9TH
er (governmenO that knowledge is I'm,
favorable 10 the progress of democracy"
IA doctrine advanced within two weeks,
on the floor of Congress, by the Democrat
ic Mr. Chipman,) then the friends OF jm-
provement might well fater in their
course, or at least, adopting the language
of Long(eIlow "Iearn 10 labor and 10
vait." But there is no such necessity,
no such reason for Encouragement. The
attitude Of The Legislature is not only friend
ly, but it is one of deep inreres, and soIici
Jude for the success of our cause. AS ear.
" as 164l, a bill passed that body, cnti-
tied An Act providing for The union Of
school Districts" by which Central
Schools could be formed for the older and
more advanced scholars, WI hout vitialing
their claim 10 portion of the public funds.
Under the old law, this money could no.
be drawn by them, TO be appropriated OUT
of the district in which they resided; and
many OF the poorer districts abored under
the double disadvantage Of not being able
TO support select schools at home, while
they were thus virtually deblrred from
sending their children abroad.
AT the last session Of The legislature,
the School Fund which had accrued from
tho distribution OF the proceeds of The pub
lie lands, and from sources within the
Stale, was abolished, and new and very
elaborate system adopted for the supervis-
ion and Improvement of our schools. By
this act, State Superintendent elected BY
the Legislature, County Superintendent
appointed by the several Courts,aud Town
Superintendent chosen by the citizens
thereof, are already actively engaged in
revising and re-moddling our schools.
hmay safely be affirmed therefore. That
legislation has done lis part of the work,
the law can probably do no more. And
while we hail with gratitude the enlight-
ened policy which is thus extended TO our
institutions Of learning, still it shonld be
remembered (f the terms are admissab!e)
that the act Of the State IS possivs TO The
cause. By 1--we are possessed Of the means,
we have the power, 10 accomplish the CD,
ject !; otherwise, education is precisely as
it has been, neither acquired nor advanced;

Mr. Ewing, of Tennessee, the new whig
representative of the Hermitage, next go;

lamalion of the Presdent-did not intend
TO practice deliberate fraud upon This
House. The state of our relations with
Great Britain is in very critical silua-
ton. The consequence of the notice will

A war with Eng land will be war OF
