Education More important to the PeO-
pie of America than any other on
the Globe

Much has been written and said upon the
subject of education; 10 many it has become
trite and unineresting. But to the rejecting
and intelligent, il is still subject Of vital in
terest. Education is Of more importance to
the people Of the United States of America
than any other nation on the globe. In mo-
narchal governments, education is not SO cs-
sential among the masses, for the reason that
all the Offices Of trust and honor, are heredita
| ry. No one who is not Of royal blood can
| hope to ascend the throne, except by rcyolu
! lion. To educate the masses in Monarchal
governments, would be to weaken and endan-
ger the authority and power of the hauty and
despolic rulers. Educate the serfs of Rus
sia, and how long would it be until the Auto
crat would tremble upon bis throne? Mon
archs and Shareholders, have long since lear
NJ d that education is power And to retain
the power which education has secured to
them, their degraded serfs and Slaves must be
kept in ignorance. The uneducated and igno-
rant may submit to oppression like the patient
Ok, but the educated and intelligent nerer
But ifit was to the interest of Monarchal gov
ernments to educate the people, there would
be no motive sufficient TO induce them TO as

Russia and France.

The fullowin is the close Of the manifesto
OF the French Government on their relations
with Russia, as it appeared in the Moniteur: :
The affair Of Sinope, Monsieur--,took
place CONTRARY 10 all our provisions; and
/ his deplorable fact also modlies the attitude
which we have desired 10 maintain, The
accord which has recently been effected at
Vienna, between Austria, France, Eng gland
and Prussia, has established the European
character of the difference that existe be-
tween Russia and the Porte. The four courts
have solemny recognized that the territorial
integrity of the Ottoman Empire, is one ol
the conditions Of their political equilibrium.
The ocupaiicn of Moldavia and Wallachia
constitutes fresh attack on that integrity,
and it is not doubtful bat that the chances oi
war may lead 10 others.

represented the invasion Of the DannOiar

Public Lands.

The Legislature of New York introduced
resolution which undoubtedly will pass,
asking Congress for donation of prt Of
the public lands TO aid in enlarging the Erie

of this kind to rail roads, we cln see no rcas-
on why New York and other States that have
advanced millions of dollars for the construc-
ton of canals for public good, should not have
the same benefit. The Erie canal is the out

The General Government, though it has al

Slavery Viewed IN the Light Of PO-
Iiticnl Economy.

Slavery viewed in this light presents dark
picture. But dollars and cents, or the value
Of real estate is nothing compared to Liberty
which slavery destroys.
Let us look at the matter as a question Of
political economy. The whole aggregate lands
Of Tennessee and Kentucky, as compared with
tie aggregate land of Ohio and Indiana, are
debased by the existence Of Slavery, more
than five dollars per acre. There must be in
the contemplated territories Of Nebraska and
Kansas, 2oo,Ooo,oOo acres Of good land
Fifty yea from to-day these territories would
be developed as much MS Tennessee and Ken
lucky. If so, the generations who people
them must be robbed OF 100000, 900 o
property, by CT eating slave governments there

THRILLING INcIpENT.-At the late fire on
the corner of Butler and Symmens streets an
incident took place WEIGH is worth recording.
The fire, it will be remembered, made rapid
progress, and while one of the houses, occu.
pied by Mr.. Sheppard, was enveloped in
flames. Police officer McCarty went into the
house to save some Of the furniture, and
bursting open door leading to back room. a
scene presented itself which is truly thr ling.
On bed in one corner was a man and his
wife and two children, sound asleep, while
the flames were darling fercely above, and
playing wildly around them, the bed clothes
were becoming ignited, and immediate des-
truc,ion seemed inevitable. The officer utter
cd shril nois :, and rushing TO the bedside
grappled the sleeping father and family and
hurried them into the street. In the effort
he clothes of the policeman took fire, but
we've extingu;shed by some bystanders as he
was leaving TIE house. Leaving the family
in good hands, he rushed back TO save, i
possible, some Of the furniture, and to hi!
astonishment, found the bed and room envel
oped in nlmes. Two minutes longer and that
little family would have been burnt TO death
