~ The \. y. Tribune has an article.
the product Of the editors imagination, con
trasting the entrance of President Polk and
Gen. Tavlor into Y. V, at different ends of
the same street at the same time. The article
represents the populace as deserving entirely
the President, and rushing enthusiastically
to welcome Gen. Taylor, indulging, at the
same time, in all sorts of eXtravaganccs,
which are thus represented: Some seize
the bride, some the stirups, some clasp the
very knees of the old man; 1t is silence all !.
Not a solitary shout is heard All are too
much excited to articulate even a whispcr!'

attentive consideration:
at was but few years ago that the high
tarill'mcn ofthis country only complained of
the notions of the free trade men, because
they deemed them impracticable. They
then said that England would never reduce
her duties on grain so low that it would adj
vantage us, because Tie landed gentry would
be too much impoverished, and many of
them boldly declared that when such a
change in the policy of England should oc-
cur they would be found alongside of TIE
advocates of free trade, for then they could
see that there would be real benefit to ALL
In short they agreed that Free Trade would
be blessing, but cefrc a;ed the idea ofthe
first step being taken in this country.
Nv ell, time rolled along, and England
took the first step by reducing the duties
on all breadsmils at first, and then by TAX
ing them off al ogc'her. Butthcy.thenk said.
England was forced to do this What
! of that! Our end is answered. We now
see the way open to free trade, and we see
the very step in it that YOU pointed to, has
been taken. Now let us 20 on, and enjoy
all these benefits that you admitted must
/ flow from ii il it were possible. Your on
I " objection then was to the impossibility.
} That objection is destroyed, the road is O.
! pen, Free Trade can exist in a few years
between most countries to the benefit of all,
and no matter whether the English were
forced 10 il by reason, necessity or battle,
! we ought to make The most of what we adj
NIT TO be good.
The result upon the west, we think few
can doubt. The demand from abroad for
our produce cannot be temporary. The
broad. fertile and cheap lands of America,
with all the advantages of low taxation and
perfect security, will afford TO the world
cheaper food than can be raised elsewhere.
Ii is true we will have TO compete with for
eign nations, but that we can do TO great adj
vantage as we do now, and make money.
The grain-growing west will be especially
benefitted by the free exchange OF products,
nor do we think the manufacturers of the
east will suffer.
! 1--WE are aware that there are many who
think our market for grain will fail as soon
as ,his famine is over. With Free Trade
we think it cannot. We believe that much

Dish; and such teacher, without apparatus,
may effect the happiest results. Libraries,
cabinets, and philosophical instruments are
liieless and prolltless, except as made efiec-
tual by the men who use them. A few emf
nent men, skilled to understand, reach, and
quicken the minds of the pupils, are worth
all these helps. The idea, therefore, that
the children of the poor cannot be advanced
in consequence of the inability of parents to
furnish a variety of books and other appa-
raus, is an erroneous one.
In education various books and imple-
ments are not the great requisites, but high
order of teachers. In truth, a few books do
better than many. The object of education
is not SO much to give a certain amount OF
knowledge, as to awaken the faculties, and
give the pupil the use of his own mind; and
one book. taught by man who knows how
TO accomplish these ends, is worth more
than libraries as usually read. 1t is notne-
cessary that much should be taught in youth,
but that litde should be taught phllosoph-
lcaily, profoundly, llvingly. For example,
it is not necessary that the pupil be carried
over the history OF the world from the del
uge to the present day. Let him be helped
TO read a single history wisely, 10 apply the
principles of historical evidence to its state
ments, to trace the causes and effects Of
events, to penetrate into the motives Of ac-
tons, to observe the workings of human ma
ture IN what is done and suffered to Judge
impartially of action and character, to SYM
palhlze with what is noble, TO detect the
spirit of an age IN different forms from our
own, to seize the great truths which are
wrapped up in details, and 10 discern mo-
raj Providence, retribution, amidst all cor
rupuons and changes; let him learn to read
single history thus, and he has learned to
read all histories; he is prepared TO study, as
he may have time in future life, the whole
course OF human events; he is better educa-
ted by this one book, than he would be by
all the histories in all languages as common
~ taught. The education of the poorman's
children need not stop for the want OF books
and apparatus. More of them would do
good, but enough may be easily obtained.
10 rouse the mind TO thought, and TO fix
upon Ii habits of reflection, should be prl-
mary object of education: and what we want
Is, race of teachers acquainted with the
philosophy of the mind, gifted men and
