10 the position he has assumed on this very in
teresting subject. F ~
II certainly Is very strange that The ADVOCATES
of slavery insist on their right to force slavery
into those sections Of the country where there
Is no law to sustain the Institution, and where
the people rise up with remarkable unanimity
in opposition to il. We think the advocates OF
slavery ought to be satisfied with infiicting the
curse on those people who are not hostile to IT,
and ought TO permit those who leathe the insti-
tation as pestilential, to enjoy exemption from
its whitening influences. But these wrong
headed men persist in forcing slavery among
those who are utterly opposed to its presence
and at the same time they denounce any ia
frngsmen, of their rights to hold and enjoy sla-
very as an atrOcity which rightfully subjects
every man who is guilty of such infringement
to death, by hanging on the first limb OF the
first tree.
We shall await the arrival of Mr.. Benton's
great speech on slavery with much anxiety

most interesting and critical juncture in oul

The immediate occasion Of this speech Is tn
passage last winter through the Missouri Legis

South Carolina stamp. A few weeks ago, Mr.
Benton declared he would not conform his con
duct 10 those resolutions, and announced hi
intention to abide the decision Of the next Leg
islature on the subject. If that Legislature in

on the subject of slavery in the territories, h
will resign his position in the Senate in prefer
ence TO obeying them. This speech was mad

Oh, carry me not to the crowded hall
From the blue, the star-lit sky;

The voices that ever in music call,
Are waiting my soft reply;
willingly turn from the mirth and light,
To the breath, the glory, the hush of night.

Where your gentle hands would lead;
But dearer to me are the soft clear air, ~
And the fountain, bathed in the moon-l Leans

And the fresh young grass with its gems Of dew,
Which the sun shall win, and the eve renew
And dearest Of all is the soulful tone,
In the hush Of twilight hour,

Through limitless ether profusely strewn,

Or, shilling thy voice to its softest chord,

We close our article with an extract or two
from the Encyclopedias Americana:
"With them (cities) civilization and political
institutions began, and in them were developed
the prime piles Of democracy, or of equal rights
in the middle ages" "The authority OF the
king W as weak, his connexion with the different
parts of Ids tlominions imperfect, and the pro-
gress of civilization was promoted almost solely
| by the growth of cities. They gave rise to the
division Of labor, the refnements of social in
tercourse, and the development Of laws caused
| by the conflicting interests of many people
living close together, the idea Of equality Of
| rights, the diminution Of awe for distant mon
arch, the growth Of patriotism, springing from
The sense of advantages enjoyed, and the exer-
tons necessary to maintain them. These were
the salutiry consequences Of the establishment
Of cities" swell organised municipal insti-
buttons, in which the government is in the
hands Of the citizens, afford continual nourish-
menr to the spirit of freedom throughout a
country, and, in fact, are more important In
this point Of view than the mere possession Of
legislative privileges. Wise nations, therefore
have bestowed the greatest attention on the es.

NEW BOOKS.
Educational Works.


Some time since We received from Ill. w.
Derby & Co., of Cincinnati, several valuable
books for which we give them our hearty
thanks.
Among these books we find Parker's Philoso-
ply, work written by Richard Green Parker,
II wel-known teacher in Boston, who has pre-
pared various educational volumes, all of which,
we believe, have proved eminently successful.
Gifted by nature with an active and nquiring
mind, which has been strengthened by thought
and enriched by knowledge, Mr.. Parker has
ulso the advantage, possessed by the practical
teacher alone, Of knowing the difficulties which
present themselves to the minds of the young
and the best modes of Obviating those difficult
ties. Hence we find his books are Characterised
by simplicity and clearness and are rendered
interesting and useful.
We are indebted also to Messrs Derby s. Co,
for four volumes of the admirable series, emit
tied "Chambers' Educational Course" the vol.
umes on Chemistry, Drawing, Physiology and
Zoology, which We heartily commend to the at.
tention of teachers and all persons interested
in the mental welfare of the young.
There is one other work among those sent &c
us by the enterPrising publishers, OF which we
should hardly dare to speak as our feeling,
would prompt We refer to The Theory anC
Practice of Teaching, by d. P. Page
We read this book with an interest, which
we might with perfect truth call intense, haC
not that epithet, by constant use and indiscrim
ate application, lost its meaning Commencing
the volume with the expectation of finding il
good but technical, work specially adapted tC
teachers, We were agreeably surprised at discOv
ering, as we soon did, that, however admirably
adapted TO teachers, il was a volume which ap.
pealed to every thinking mind and feeling heart
Here we have the ideal Of teaching, an idea
which we have long desired to see presented
and which, however often in practice unreaised
every reader Of this volume must feel is not un
real. To every person who regards the work o
education as Of iuestimable importance, t.
every educator, parent or teacher, we earnestly
and heartily commend this work. And with Z
we would Also advise every educator, by al
means, to procure a treatise on "School Atchi
lecture by Henry Barnard, friend and wor
thy associate Of Horace Mann. Could we hav,
school houses constructed in accordance with
the plans presented by Mr.. Barnard, and teach
ers animated by the spirit of MI Page, W,
should have no need Of arguments to show tn,
Importance of education or the grandeur Of tn,
profession Of the teacher
