To the professional teacher is committed
the perpetuity of the liberties of the Amer
lean Republic, the prevalence of christi.
anity, and the redemption Of the world
from sin and oppression.
Heretofore, (and even now,) in many
parts Of our country, education has been
regarded secondary matter-and indeed
rather degradingly to spend much time or
money for such an apparently useless pur-
pose. The teacher was consequently de-
graded, and received the frowns and con-
tempt of an ignorant populace. For sew
eral years our State has been expending
large amounts of money, annually, for
common school purposes-schools that
have done no credit to the great State OF
Ohio, nor her thousands ofteachers. The
intellectual qualifications Of teachers have
always been too low-and consequently
their salaries so reduced, that easy, good
natured directors would employ the lowest
biddsr-young men who had nothing to
do--who could look 10 the future as offer.

of teaching-cohsequently would aban.
don their studies, and the profession, and
engage in other pursuits more lucrative
The common school teacher, in the State
of Ohio, to the present time, has done lit.
tie towards real education, the improve
ment of the mind and heart. Indeed, the
school room has heretofore presented
nothing that could cause us 10 anticipate
great results.
For many years theology and politics
have engrossed the minds Of the people
while the great subject Of popular educa'
ton has been only incidently considered
among the masses. Neither christianity
nor political economy can be well under.

For the Spirit OF Democracy.

- FOR uhc spirit OF democracy
Mr.. EDIToR:-Mr. Michael Slime, of
Perry Township, in late interview, in
formed me that several voters in that town.
ship misunderstood the Temperance arti-
Gle, in the New Constitution, and request
ed me TO prepare note for your paper on
the subject. The above mentioned article
reads as follows: 'No license to traffic in
intoxicating liquors shall hereafter be
granted in this State, but the General As
sembly may by law provide against the
evils arising,iherefrom." This clause is
submitted TO a popular question separately
from the remainder Of the constitution
Translated out of mysticism into plain.
lnglish, it means that the manufacture and
traffic in ardent spirits shall never be Ii:
censed or permitted, but shall be abolished
and prohibited. No threeSways about the
matter can be discovered. If the traffic in
ardent SPITE spnot be licensed and reg.
ulated byasvythe evils arising therefrom
will become 50 horrible, that it must be
abolished and prohibited by law. This
was the meaning put upon this clause, by
a large majority Of the members Of con-
vention. This was the reason for making
it separate popular question. The'con.
vention would not assume the responsible
ity of an absolute prohibition, nor stake the
success of the whole instrument upon the
success of this article. Hence it is made
a separate clause and separate question.
| shall be perfectly satisfied with the decis-
ion Of majority Of my fellow-citzens, be
that decision, what it may. But barely
suggest that in my humble opinion the ex-
clusonists would do we'll to vote no license,
and the ant.exclusionists to vote license.
Most Respectfully, &C.,

husband returned and treated them with

facts may be relied on as literally true.
have therefore, recorded them in the fol-
lowing little poem. 1t probably needs re-
vision, but in the midst of busy and la
borious life, leisure for literary studies, is
not attainable.
Cold on the mountains the north wind was
signing,
The moons latest wan.ray was sinking in
gloom,
Upon the damp ground, the young soldier
was lying,
All travel worn, faint and resigned to his
doom.
One comrade alone of the regiment near
him,
His other companions all far, far away
One only remained to relieve or to cheer
him,
And since early dawn they had wandered
astray.
As he saw his young friend hanging pen
sively o'er him,
That friend in all dangers so tried and so
'a true,
With the shadows Of fate, fitting feebly
before him,
He urged him TO take his last final adieu.
"Comrade leave me tits in vain,
can ne'er the path regain;
Save your life while yet you may,
Useless is your longer stay;
Hasten e'er it be too late,
Haste and leave me to my fate!
Chill my blood and dim mine eye,
Z II have laid me down to die.
Meier shall behold agen,
Ny native hills, my native glen;
My,mother at the cabin door,
Shall see my wasted form no more,
She that met my infant sight, ~
Athing of love, a thing Of light; 10
Fell her not the slightest stain,
Was cast by me on soldiers name,
Bit that in battles lost or won,
My martial duty still was done.
Tell my Lucy-nay forbear,
1t flls my dying breast with care,
Her sylph-like form is fitting nigh,
= Oh! 'tismose than death to die,
To pass TO ether worlds above,
And leave below my earthly love.
Hasten e'er it be too late,
Haste and leave me to my fate!
Chill my blood and dim mine eye,
You cannot aid me, let me die."
But he spoke to soldier true and tried,
And thus his martial friend replied:
"Leave thee comrade!! Urge me not,
When the flame of war grew hot-->
When the cannons thundered loudest-
When the war-steed neighed the proudest;
When the bayonets were cleaning
When each soldiers eye was beaming-
Did we falter? did we sever?
Leave thee-fellow-sold never!
Courage both our lives shall save;
Or we'll fill one mountain grave"
Borne by his comrade on they fare,
Till mountain cot receives the pair;
A strangers care relieves their pains,
And health restores their wasted frames
