SCRAPS ON EDUCATIoN.--Gold is more
frequently found in grains than Jumps, and
it is not the less valuable on that account.
So with knowledge. Fragments, when unit
ed, make up the intellectual storehouse.
John Adams said, in an epste to his wife
" The education of our children is never out
of my mind. Train them to virtue. Habi-
tuate them to industry, artivity, and spirit.
Make them consider every vice shameful
and unmanly. Fire them with an ambition
to be useful. Make them disdain 10 be des-
titute of any useful or ornamental know
ledge" What says Horace Mann: Every
friend of education, who insists upon quail
fcations superior to the present is bound to
do his part towards furnishing facilities and
encouragements by which they can be ac-
quired. We cannot consequently denounce
state of things which we do nothing to
improve" Martin Luther has said of edu-
cation: "In every age even among the
heather, the necessity has been felt of hav-
ing good schoolmasters, in order to make
any thing respectable of nation. But
surely we are not to sit still and wait until
they grow up Of themselves. We can
neither chop them out Of wood, nor hew
them out of stone. God will work no mira
cles to furnish that which we have means to
provide. We must, therefore, apply eur care
and money to train up and make them"

OhNOAhh ~ AO1o'
Mr.. ALLEN, in pursuance of notice Civ
en- yesterday, asked leave to introduce the
following joint resolution, which was read
by the secretary, as follows, viz:
JOINT RESOLUTION declaratory Of the
principles by which the government ofthe
United States will be governed in regard
TO the powers of Europe in the political
affairs Of America.
Resolced By the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatires ofthe United States of America
IN Congress assembled, That recent niani-
festations of disposition by certain powers
of Europe TO interfere in the political ar
rangements of this continent, with view to
the enforcement of the European principles
of the "balance Of power" upon the indie;
pendent nations of America, having made it,
in his judgement, the duty of the President.
of the United State to call the attention Of
Congress 10 this subject in his annual mes
sage, and 10 announce, on the part Of the
United States, the counter principle Of nom
intervention, it is the judgement Of Congress
that the announcement thus made by the
President was demanded by the manifest haz-
ard to which such Interference would newt
ably expose the relations of peace now SUBJ
sisting between the old world and the new!
Rtsolred, That Congress thus concurring
with the President, and sensible that this
subject has been forced upon the attention of
the United States by recent events SO signif
icant as to make it impossible for this govern
ment longer to remain silent, without being
ready to submit to, and even to invite, the
enforcement of this dangerous doctrine, do
hereby solemnly declare TO the civilized
world the unalterable resolution of the Uni
ted States to adhere to and to enforce the
principle, that any effort of the powers Of
Europe to intermenddle in the social organi-
zation or political arrangements of independ.
ent nations of America, or further to extend
the European system of government upon
this continent by the establishment of new
colonies, would be incompatible with the .inde-
pendent existence of the nations, and dan
gerous to the liberties of the people of Amer
lea; and therefore would incur, as by the
right of selfpreservation it would justify, the
prompt resistance ofthe United States.

A THRILLING SCENE.

During the late storm at Turner, Maine
which uprooted forest trees and tore down
houses, one of those exciting scenes occur
red which we are accustomed to look for on
ly in novels. -Four young men were eros
sing the bridge at Twenty Mile river, when
the railing was blown of, and Washington
Phillips and Bradford Phillips were blown
into the river. One being good swimmer,
made fora rock and was safe. The other
was carried over the dam, but managed to
hold on TO bush and remained upon one
leg (the other being injured) an hour and a
half Every device wasmade to throw ropes
to the drowning man butin vain; The scene
that followed cannot be described His
aged father stood on the bank of the river,
beholding his youngest and darling boy FIVE
or six rods from the shore, upon one foot,
knowing that he could not hold out much
longer, for the water was running Feather
white 81 rising fast. 1t was already to his
knees, the storm not in the least abated, and
night so fast approaching, that it was sup
posed in fifteen minutes more, he could not
be seen from the shore. At this time, the
end of the rope on the westerly side of the
river was heightened and carried down the
stream, till it came in contact with the de-
sired object. Then the greatest anxiety
pervaded all present, knowing that it was
the last and only chance. The drowning
man seized the rope, and was soon in reach
of his friends on the shore; but the mo-
ment ne arrived within reach of help, his
strength instantly failed, and he was as help
less as an infant. He is now doing well,
and will probably be about in few days as
usual.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The contest between the democratic and
federal parties is now so plainly defined, that
it is impossible for any intelligent citizen,
who will take the trouble to think and nves-
tigate for himself, to be deceived. 1t is be-
tween Equal Rights and Corporate Privile-
ges, Democracy and Aristocracy; and ag-
gressive 10 those only who cheat the indus
trious out of their property by violating the
Constitution, and subverting their equal
rights
The principles proclaimed, the chief of
which is the defence, and the preservation of
the CONSTITUTIONAL CURRENcY-are those
of the great and good men of the Revolu-
ton, and early days of the Republic; the
principles of Jefferson, Jackson, the present
administration, and the most enlightened and
patriotic statesmen the present day. They
are sustained by the united voice of justice,
reason, and experience. They are not anew
issues, but as old as the Constitution. They
are in defence of that sacred instrument
Their truth, and advantage to the people,
if reduced to practice, may be demonstrated
to every sane mind. They are invulnerable
to the assaults of malice, prejudice, cupdity,
rdicule or sophsm. They WILL PROVE TO
to the people of Ohio.
These issues in defence of the coNsTITU-
TIoNAL CURRENCY, and against corporate po-
wer and pictured rag money, are in the spi-
rit of the age; responsive 10 the voice OF
the people. Texas has proclaimed uncom-
promising hostility to paper money in her new
Constitution. So has Louisiana. So, also,
has the State Convention Of Missouri, now
in session. The people of Mississippi, Hi
nois, Arkansas, Alabama, Michigan, Iowa,
and Wisconsin, have done the same. The
people of Indiana ale pressing OH to the
same end. Everywhere in the West, the ball
is in motion, and everywhere pressing on to
victory. Let every democrat of Ohio then
rejoice, that his own glorious State is CO.
laborer in this grand moral movement Of the
age.
We are right! Does any democrat doubt
this? If so, we commend him to reflection
and investigation before he permits himself
to fall a prey to federalism.
The democracy in men, like their religion
and good works, is progressive. The true
democrat, like the true christian, progresses
in knowledge, while the false democrat, or
the federalist, clings to exploded errors and
wrongs, that have become too intolerable TO
be longer endured. Thus, when the demo-
cratic party makes step of advancement,
many, calling themselves democrats, are left
behind to fall into the mire of federalism,
whild the young, the ardent, the patriotic of
the federalist party, rush to the democratic
standard. So it was in all the new issues of
progression made by President Jackson; SO
will it be in Ohio. After these considera-
tions, who will doubt the triumph of our
cause, the election of our standard-bearer,

RAILROADS TO CANADA.-Montreal is to
be connected with Boston and with Portland
by two different Railroads, which are to pass
through New Hampshire and Vermount by
different routes These and other similar
connecting links between Canada and the
ports of the States, will divert the Canada
trade from the ST. Lawrence, leave Quebec
in the condition of deserted castle, produce
an increasing sympathy between Americans
and Canadians, and ultimately tend TO An
nexation. The loyal press in Canada,
aware of this, is opposed to these improve
ments, while the strength Of public sentiment
there is on the other side.

TRUE.-The New York Tribune, in reply
to some slur from one of the neutral papers,
says; awe have tried Cur hand at both sorts
of papers, and we give it as our most delib-
crate conviction, based on some ten or
twelve years. experience, that the neutral
press is not, and never can he as general
thing, so truly independent as the political
press, and that its scope for free discussion
and the utterance of.unpalatable truth is far
more contracted Of the two. We go farther,
and say with entire confidence that "the de-
cencies of private life" have been as gener-
ally respected, and men quite as rarely black
ened by every species of calumny' by the
political as the neutral press.

o. A story has been going the rounds of
the whig papers, stating that the amount de-
posted in the Lowell Savings Bank, by the
factory girls, amounted to the average sum
of twelve hundred and fifty dollars for each
girl This was all attributed to the present
tariff, aud pointed to as one of the blessings
flowing from it. In the course its travels,
the story reached Lowell, and set the Low
ell Patriot to figuring. 1t says that $3.50
for each girl in the factories would amount
to the sum of eleven millous two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars! and that twelve
dollars and fifty cents each would exceed the
sum deposited by factory girls.-Logansport
