We have to say Of the parties whose calcu
ission' these are, that for many years past
t!ey have bean regarded as heirg better post
cd in sch matters than any other gentlemen
VIC know CT in the State, and that on this occa.
sion they kaye taken even more than their
usull pains TO satisfy themselves as to the ex.
act condition Of things political, ia the State.
1t is proper for Us to add that they both be-
lisye that the sggE egate m:j,rity for Mr.. Wise
will reach IA soc, though one of them prefers
to MAJ a the lower estimate, SO that his assurance
to us may be doubly sure.
Registered Letters. learn, on inc uiry,
that the Esw York Times and other Northern
papers that are growing at the Postmaster
Gcaoral's recent publication with reference to
the new system of registering valuable letters
in this country, are wrong in saying that tae
British Postal Department. insures the safe de-
livery Of money letters and postmss.ers' or
ders transmitted through the English mails
Tho point that disturbs the Times ia the fact
that five cents is to be charged as a foe for the
trouble Of registering letter, when the De-
partment declines to insure the safe delivery
Of its contents.
The Tins will please to take notice that
the Britisa Postal Department charges twelve
cents for precisely the same ssrvios--for doing
nothing more. The editor forgsts tha. in.
creased labor, trouble, and responsibility with
letter is the rezult Of registering it. So far
as the Departments increased expense is cen
and blanks, already ordered for distribution
among the different postmssters to enable
them to carry Gu. The now system Of registry,
amounts to between $50, 600 and $40, GEO It
will DO perceived from this explanation To at
the additional charge is amply Justified.

\ tonished al tIie c10 may
say the indiIferenDS by
many persons of this Fe-
gard to onr Fair ana ibl tiosa tliat
is to take place at Dover on Tuesday
next I. \.
Now, / assume the liberty fo say
that such course is decidedly wrong,
and not only SO, but is injurious inthe
result, even to themselves. The reasons
advanced are as numerous and differ
ent as those who make them. sA
I would like for some Of the "self
instructor" and self wise doctrine to
inform me how any person is to learn
even what is actually necessary and
requisite for every one to know. IF
he be isolated and kept so from the
knowledge and experiments Of every
person else.
IF each one can experiment and
learn all that is requisite and desirable
independent Of his neighbor or teach
er, as well and as rapid asthe progress
of the times demand, what need have
we of School houses, Academies, Col
leges, Churches, &C.? If such be the
fact, why send children to school to
receive their education 7 Why. not
give them their books and send them
up stairs or into a seperate room?
Now ask, is it not just as likely and
Just as practical for the boy to learn
his book and receive a classical edu-
cation by himself, as it is for the far
mcr to experiment and learn on his
own account all that.ls requisite for u,
farr cr to know to make him a prac-
tical and efficient farmer? | think
one just as likely as the other,
am often amused by some of our
all-wise farmers and others; who, when
asked if they expect to attend the
Fair, say no. "What's the use of my
going, there will be nothing there that
will be instructive Or worth my seeing"
81 have got, and have seen all that
will be there, &c.," when probably the
next moment they will ask me, point
ing to butter churn, 'swhat is that, a |
Squirrel cage?" The next one will
ask on seeing a wheat rake, if it is a
reaper or thrasher, probably the next
one will spy mole trap and ask if be
a music box, &c.
Away with such old fashioned, self
conceited, and self wise notions, and
go with us to the Fair on Tuesday
next, and there learn by the expert
ments of others more in a single day
that can be'obtained at home in life
time. Yours, &c. T.
