MI. Ross, Recitation.

AS-we anticipated, large and respect
able audience of ladies and gentlemen,
convened at the Court House on Satur-
day evening last, to hear the recitation
of Mr. Ross. Thus showing at once how
our citizens would prize good Course
of Lectures this winter.
Mr.. Ross prefaced his recitation by
somewhat lengthy and detailed remarks
upon poetry, poets, Mr.. Thomas Camp
bell, &C., and then proceeded to read the
first part of The Pleasures of Hope"
As whole, the performance was con-
siderably married. The preliminary re-
marks were embarrassing, ill-timcd, and
greatly tended to render the whole exer-
else tedious.
The reading the poem was better. Mr.
Ross great fault is e.ruberance. His
histrionic powers are exceedingly good !;
but adapted to tragic instead Of comic or
didactic subjects. y lie read didactic po-
EN-, and such portions of it as permit anv
tragic display whatever, he read well, but
the larger part of it being purely mild
and didactic, the delivery of it was over
wrought.
Mr.. Ross fluency and power Of express
sion are of the first order; and when fur
Their experience shall teach him the neces-
sity of emitting great deal which is now
given from sheer cxuberance, he will do
full Justice to his merits. and will be en-
abled highly to edifiy an audlence.-D.

Our Public school.

1t is source OF qualification TO be able
to state, that the public school in this
city under the management of the pres
! ent principal, Mr. John G.. McKindley, is
in prosperous condition. Mr.. McKind-
ley, has been highly successful by mild,
yet efficient means in establishing an ex
cellent system Of order and government.
Indeed, we doubt whether more complete
order and management, have heretofore
characterized the school under the guild
anc Of any Of its former principals. Most
Of the larger and more advanced scholars
in the city, since the consolidation of the
districts, have teen under the superyis-
ion of Mr.. McKindlcy and his immediate
associate. A large proportion Of them
in the higher classes are young ladies,
and we venture to predict that during
the public exercises of the school, which
win take place the present week. these
will be found to have made proficiency,
equal to those Of any other school Of
whatever character in this part Of the
west.
The system of instruction pursued by
Mr.. McKindley and his assistants, is thor
ouch. and such as to insure an intelligent
progress of the classes. We cheeriully
commend our public school, to the friends
Of education; and we respectfully urge
that its interests will be greatly promo
tod by frequently visiting it. Let all
who earnestly desire to encourage the
cause of education among us, spend an
hour occasionally in The school-they
will find it agreeable and profitable. Pa
rents should never trust to outdoor re-
ports, as 20 the fitness or ability of
teachers they should learn the actual
condition and management Of the school
by personal inspection as far as practice
| bic. Unfav0rable and unjust reports i'll
respect to a school, are most apt to Oh
tain currency among that class of persons
who know least Of il and are most igno-
rant Of its true condition.
1t ist@t justice to say that the teachers
generally. now connected in the various
departments of the public school IN this
city, in the different wards, are proving
themselves worthy of their vocation, and
are indca'igable in tier endeavors to
maintain the reputatiomwhich our schools
have heretofore had at home and abroad
We sincerely hope that our citizens vii
feel that the continued success of our free
schools, is cmincntly connected with the
best interests of our city.

The Communication from Farmer

IL
The Communication from a"Farmer,"
win no doubt be read. We have had
time but to glance over it, in doing which
our eye is attracted by the following SEN
tence:
"And as secret combination, can be on
" met by secrecy, let US join in secret
eonclave, and fight these "Zcalots" with
their own weapons"
1t passes orr understanding why men
are so slow to learn and believe, that
there is truth in the Divine command
"Overcome not erH with eeil, but with
good" A good share Of the censure aim
cd at the Know Nothings is because OF
the secrecy" oftheir proceedings. They
claim it necessary, because the evil, as
they call it with which they contend
works secretly--and here we have now
a proposition to PIT them down by more
secrecy. 1t Is said to the Know Moth
ings, very properly, if your means and
ends are good, why not proclaim them
openly. and now, this correapondentpro-
poses to put the opponents of the Know
Nothings in the same category.
We are opposed to al secrecy, in mat
sers of general interest. For our owR
part we will never join an association,
which imposes an obligation of secrecy
Upon US as to its doings. We will have
nothing to do with any thing which we
are forbid to proclaim in the face OF day,
and in the light Of the sun. llliberality
cannot be put down by illiberality, nor
can secrecy Leput down By secrecy. We
suggest to our correspondent, and to al
Others in this matter, to plant themselves
as we do ourselves, or at least as we try
to, on the principles of right, and stand
there irrespective Of the positions your
opponents take or the principles they
adopt. If they do wrong it is no reason
under Heaven why you should. Stitch
to correct principles--act them out ano
advocate them-and trust to the power
who "docth all things well, i" to make tht
final result square withyour efforts. One
thing you may be sure of, if you dom
save the world, you win save yourself b,
this course.
As to the non-commitalism alluded to
we simply stated what we believed an'
still believe, to be q. fact.
