Education.
&c There is much truth in The following arlicl
which we copy from a Canada paper:

There is much truth in the following article,
which we copy from Canada paper;
81 !" If there is one matter Of greater importance
TO the human family than all others, 1t Is Inc
education of the young The children who
now fill our schools, or play about our streets or
fields, will 10 few shor, years manage the al
fairs of the country :. and it will depend upon
their present training, whether these affairs will
be we'll or il.managed The conduct Of the
rising generation will moi, however, effect Them
selves only. In proportion. as il is good or bad,
il will give pleasure or pain 10 their parents ;
and their character will be stamped upon sue
ceeding generations. We may, therefore, affirm,
tba, The effects of hat we now do in the mat
Ter of education, will be fell through all time.
although time will only reveal The smallest part
of these effects.
How important is it then, 10 secure good
system Of education Il is generally said OF
children unins,rucled in schools, that they are
without education. This is a mislake--ihey
have more or less education, but unfortunately
il TOO often consists Of lying, cheating, swear
ing drinking. cruelty, or other vicious courses,
for though naturally prone to evil, yet to attain
proficiency in vice, children require TO be edu-
caled. But this education costs nothing. On
ly neglect 10 teach Them what is good-le, them
run idle in the streets, and take up with The
company they meet there, and their education
for evil is secured. And here lei us remark
tha, if we do not take care 10 furnish them with
good education, society is so constituted thai
,hey will be almost certain TO find bad one
for themselves. Their faculties are so SHARP
and vigorous, ,ha, they canno, remain inactive
they are continually learning and Initiating
wha, they see aud hear, and their character, a;
amiabIe and worthy members Of society, or the
reverse, is in a great measure formed al very
early age" la

GRAND RALLY OF THE DEMOCRACY
IN JAMES CITY.

A public dinner was given by the Democrats
on Saturday,, the 18th of August at the Burnt
Ordinary. All the county, and the surrounding
country, without distinction Of party, were in
yi,ed, and a large and imposing assem6lage
were present. Messrs. Caskie, Greenhow and
Overton, invited guests, were also present.
About II o'clock Mr.. Overton assembled the
stand and spoke with power and effect till DIN
ner time His speech was listened to with great
attention and interest, and was, both IN Inc
topics selected and the manner of handling
them, we'll calculated TO produce wholesome
impressions in this strong Wing region. After
sumptuous and elegant repast had been at.
tended to, the assembly repaired to the stand,
and were RECALLED with most eloquent and IN
structive Grafton from Mr.. Caskie. This was
Mr.. Caskie's first visit TO the county his lame
as distinguished advocate Of Republican prin
cples had preceded him, and his effort on this
occasion was well calculated 10 add TO his well.
earned reputation. However Taylorism may
flourish elsewhere, its most sangune votary here
does not indulge the dream OF this county giving
him the vote that it gave Clay in 1874. An adj
dress from Mr. Greenhow wa, much desired,
and no uncomfortable disappointment was felt
from his failure 10 speak. But the time being
insufficient for all three of our friends to speak,
Mr.. Greenhow insisted on being excused from
taking any part in the discussion.
Mr.. Caskie was expected to address the peo
pie of York the ensuing Monday, and pubic no
lice to that effect was given before We left the
Burnt Ordinary. But though he was present at
York Town, the rain was so inccssant that no
Court could be held, and not half dozen per.
sons appeared on the ground; Of course we were
disappointed This is greatly TO be regretted;
for, from the known Republican feelings Of
York county, no doubt can be entertained that
our principles must gain ground amongst such
