Dissolution Of old Prejudices.-Thc moral aspect
of the world is every where Frightening with promise
of better era in the history Of man. Turkey, China
and Cochin China are making most important move
mcnts towards civil and religious freedom. recent
letter from China, published in the Augsburgh Ga
zett, abiding TO accounts from Canton, says:
"We are approaching towards very interesting
epoch In ten years hence the state of affairs in
Eastern Asia will considerably change. There is a
sentiment of liberty developing itself in China which
is bringing about with rapid strides the ruin Of the
existing form Of government. Thousands of persons
assemble TO discuss matters connected with the
destiny of the human race. A spark is appearing
among the people, which will not be long in break
ing out into flame. Keying, now governor general
of Canton dare take steps without the consent of
the people,

Emperor of Japan and the former example Of the
Emperor of China, had constantly refused all rela

BREADSTUFFS.

Ofall the days since ] was born,
hate the day dealt in corn;
And long shall lament the hour,
When resolved to trade in flour.
And what is worse, I'vc had no ease,
Since buying up the beans and peas.
Alas! how wrctched do feel,
Whcne'cr I'm told the price Of meal.
Oh! had dealt in pork and lard,
would not say the times were hard.
But curse upon all speculation,
Which ruined me, if not the Nation.

Tl,e Prcsidfent,s NTeSsnge.

A portion of the Message, we sent in eStras to
our subscribers, last week--the remainder viii
be found OH the outside of to-days paper. The
ertras we obtained from the State Journal office ;
the whole of it, owing to some mistake, was not
received in time. The transmission of the Pres
dents Message from Philadelphia to Cincinnati
with no hindrance of any consequence, by means
Of the Magnetic Telegraph is the most wonder
tul fsatof that wonderful instrument--and great
credit is due to the Cincinnati press for underta
king the enterprise.
For the benefit Of those, who will not take the
trouble to wade through the lengthy partizan
message Of President Polk we will give an ab-
stract of its most important features.
He disavows any intention Of carrying on this
war for the conquest Of all Mexico he only wish
es slice sufficient to pay the expenses Of the
warand the claims due TO our tizensbut be leaves
it to be inferred that future events may render
it necessary, in his opinion, 10 take possession OF
the whole OF Mexico and hold it-for what pur-
pose is not definitely stated but the President
doubtlessly, intended to leave his views to be so
derstood that, at any future time, he may claim
all Of Mexico as indemnity Two-thirds of his
Message is taken upin an elucidation of his views
upon this question and the remainder is devoted
to the finances, the Indian Tribes, TO Foreign
Relations. to the proprety OF constructing steam.
ers by private enterprise but under the control
of Government that they may be used for War
steamers when necessary.
The President recommends that tax be laid
on Tea and Coffee, in order that less loan may
be required to meet the expenses OF the War--he
speaks highly Of the Warehousing System--of
the Tariff of 46-indeed any one, who has read
ocofoco paper for the last year, has an exact
idea what Folks Message consists of.
Mr.. Polk,in his Message, says what every one Of
his party papers have said, that the increased ex-
portatiOn Of Grain and Flour to Great Britain and
other contries resulted from the passage OF the
Tariff OF as. That party paper should say this
is not surprising; but to see President of this
model Republic, in his annual Message to the col
lectiye wisdom" of the nation, in the hearing of
tho whole world, uhder the solemn Injunction of
The Constitution, utter this palpable lie, is shame
iu and will cause its author and through him the
country TO become the laughing stock Of the world
We had intended to review this Message in
some Of its essential features this week, but will
have to defer it. 1t is not the Message of
President it is the low, miserable production of
demagogue, thirdrate Tennessee lawyer, who
by species OF chiseng best known to the friends
Of Van Buren, and Wright, has been elevated to
a position to support which with dignity requires
the greatest minds of the nation. But experience
is "a wise teacher and the people of'yankce land"
require but one poking to have their eyes opened
and their eye-teeth cut

Common schools.

Mr.. EDITOR: The statements made on
last Saturday evening, of the condition OF
our Schools filled me with astonishment
and grief. lasked myself can these things
be. and believed them only upon the tes.
timony of those who had seen. Surely
they are not common. but 0ery uncom-
mon Schools if even half of what was sta
ted be true. The citizens of this Town,
| am confident cannot be aware of the
the true condition of things, or the rem.
edy would long since have been applied
AS they now are, they are stigma upon
the Town and hot-beds of disease and
death. | am glad that public attention
has been drawn to this important subject
and trust that the result will be the remov.
al of the evils under which we suffer.
Why shall this Town forever be be.
hind all other Towns in the great work
of educationl Why shall petty bicker
ings and sectional jealousies divide us up
on subject of such momentous impor
tance2 Why shall change" and "im.
provement' be resisted and hooted at
merely because they are advocated by
some who did not draw their first breath
in the Valley of the Hockhocking? Why
will we persist in the wrong when we
know the right, merely because the ideas
OF improvement were not the coinage Of
our own brainsl
These Mr.. Editor are questions | wish
every man to put to himself, honestly and
candidly, and if so done have no fears
for the response. Away, then, | say with
the doctrine that we are to let this subject
take care of itself and find if possible a
still lower deep'-away with the fallacy
that we are 10 do as our Fathers did and
thus close our eyes to all improvements
beside the narrow, contracted and dis.
graceful sentiment that no man shall
speak or act unless born OH this soil and
last but not least mark-mark say, tha,
man who raises that cry everin the mouths
of Demagogues "the Rich against the
Poor.
If there are evils in our Schools, lei
every man say they shall be removed
Let us no longer be unjust to our chill
dren, no longer cheat them out of theil
rights. Are they not dearer to us than
all else beside, "bone of our bone
and flesh of our flesh" and who will
now falter or be inundated, by
the cry Of innovation" from rendering to
them their due.
1t is our dearest privilege to educate
them = thoroughly and correctly. Soon
their season of improvement will be past
soon we shall be in our graves and they
will be in our places and soon they will
develope the result of good or bad edu.
cation. Now, nOw then is the time to act
not stingily and with faltering steps, but
generously and promptly.
Our children plead for it, our country
demands it. A FATHER,
