sfls F.5 lSOmMUNlCATED.I
Mn. EDITOR: Liberty, virtue, ed
ucation and religion, bear a mutual
relation to each other, and have de-
clined or flourished together in every
age of the world.
This is in strict accordance with
the nature of man. who has mind
to think heart to feel--understand-
ing and affections-and is constitu-
ted a moral and intellectual being.
If we desire 10 promote his happi-
ness and usefulness, we must place
him under the care of a teacher; and
all will admit, with me, that some re-
gard should be had to his literary
qualifications, and also to his natural
turn Of mind for the business; that
he may be successful in thoroughly
training his students to appreciate
the rights and feelings of others, and
at the same time, enjoy the rights
and privileges Of a citizen in free
Government himself, and further, for
performing the duties and securing
the interests of an accountable being.
His rights and his privileges, his du-
ties and his interests Sught not to con-
fiict with each other, but be made to
harmonize; and altho' his duties and
| privileges as citizen Of civil society
are entirely distinct from his duties
and privileges as a moral being, YET
both should be kept in view, in the
course ofhis education, and 40 hand in
hand. IL we attempt to separate
these two departments OF education
and aim at giving him an education
wholly secular on the one hand, OIL
entirely religious on the other, we
shall fail to qualify him, for either
usefulness or happiness.
A Again, the plan ofour Government
Ilis such, that it depends for lis stabili.
4 ty and pernnes.,ity, upon the virtue
and intelligence Of it's citizens ii
cannot stand upon a foundation 81
Ignorance and vice. Despotic Gov,

Of their subjects; the populace, un
acquainted with the rights with
i which nature has endowed them, sub

that the Office of that functionary is
virtually fixed in a third story corner
of the Court House, and to enter it,
persons are compelled topassthrough
the court room and climb two fights
Of stairs. 1t has a fire place, and
when fire is used in it, the whole
building is in danger of being fred
by carrying it round and through
more the .shalf the house. Nothing
but the most scrupulous care has pre-
vented it from being reduced to ashes
long ago. Besides, the clerk is re-
CURED by law, on penalty of SIS 90
per night, to keep the Court House
doors and windows closed, but
this he cannot do without shutting
out the Ordinary from his office,
thereby, subjecting him and those
having business with him to inconve-
nience and delay. All these objec-
tionable features disappear when that
office is brought down to the base
ment story, where it can be found by
every body, and have even greater
protection from accidents by fire than
we mentioned above. The same
facts are also true when applied to
the other office in the opposite cor
fisT, occupied by the Commissioner
in Equity or the Coroner. AS both
of these Offices, or fire traps, will be
transferred to the basement story,
there will seldom arise necessity
for fire in the wood story at all, as
there will, we sudpose, be neither
offices nor fire place in that part of
the building. Therefore, where there
were dozen chances, as many times
IN q day, of communicating fire 10 the
building before, there will be then,
only one from which danger is to be
apprehended, and that is from sparks
flying on the roof, and even that will
be greatly lessened by the length of
the chlmneys.
We are also informed that there
is to be six or eight foot passage
through the centre Of the length and
breadth Of the basement story, which
will certainly afford visitors ample
shelter in wet, and shade in dry
weather, and to complete t,iischari-
table design, we suggest that the
Commissioners have some comforta-
BILE benches placed alongside the walls
of that passage for the accommoda-
ton of the village loafers."
One more view of this subject and
] shall have done.

Education is not only necessary 10
the existence of free Government,
but prepares the mind to take "into

all its future consequences and bear

Being a friend 10 educa ton; and
having my attention directed to the

much delighted, not only with the
performance of his students, but with
his unsurpassed management in ex-
amining the classes. The order of
