THE OIL BAY STATE ALL RIGnT.-In
Newton Corner, Sam licked TIE cold fog
les" badly, notwithstanding they run a
citizens ticket and made a great fuss.
In New Market, the old parties, after
having for the first time come into close
union, communion and amalgamalion for
the (to them paramount purpose of de-
feating Sam" were completely routed,
"horse, foot and dsagoous," and the whole
American ticket elected by handsome
majority.
In Weymouth, the American party had
everything their own way.
VIRGINIA NoMINATIoNs.-The Organ at
Washington, in noticing the American
ticket in Virginia, says:
The Virginia ticket is one of which any
party might be proud, even in the most
glorious days of the republic. 1t bears the
names Of men of unsullied political and
private integrity, of the purest patriotism
the most exalted talents, and the first or
Ger of craftsmanship. If the American
party in the other Southern States, where
elections are yet to be held, shall make
equally unexceptionable nominations, il
will'present to the country an array of can
didates which may well make, the spurious
Democracy trcmble at the retributiou
which awaits them for their abuse of theil
i'll gotten power.

The State Register, speaking of course in behalf
of the New-York Doughfaces, has the mpudencs
to pretend that they are neutral on the Slaver
question. 1t says of their side of tho Know
Nothing organization:
"The Pro-Slavery fanaticism Of the South may d.
tempt To harness It into its service; the Abolin
fanaticism of the North may attempt to suborn III
its purposes. Ii will be the servant or slave
neither
What sort of neutrality is that expressed Ia
the declaration of the National Council, to tho
effect that the best guarantee of common jus
" tice and of future peace is to abide BY and
"maintain the existing laws on the subject Of
"Slayery, as a final and conclusive settlement
"of that subject, in spirit and in substancet'
What is this but becoming the slave OF that
fanaticism which has invaded Kansas and car
ried elections there by means of cannon, rass
and bowie knivesl What more do the Missouri
ruf1ians desire than the maintenance OF the e.
listing laws, enacted as they were in violation Of
the rights Of half the Union, secured by a CON-
pact of many years standing This pretenss
of neutrality is the shabbiest dodge the Dough
faces ever invented. What they mean is to buy
the favor of the negro-driyers by securing tho
admission Of Kansas as a Slave State.

OUR LAWYERS AND LAW SCHOOLS.

Our country probably has more lawyers than
any other in proportion to its population. The
Census of 1850 returned their total number in
that year at 1899, which gives one lawyer to
every SIT inhabitants, the white population OF
1853 COS only considered. Great Britain, in
1sil had II, 334 members Of the legal profession,
and population of ls,7l7,s70, or one lawyer
10 every l,O79 inhabitants Although the Gen.
sus returns on occupations were generally
less accurate than those on other schedules,
there is good reason 10 believe that this return
of lawyers was quite correct, and il is fully con-
frmed by the Law Register for 1852, which was
compiled in 1851 and gives the names Of 2i,9i5
lawyers, including many, perhaps 1000, who
had retired from practice. More than two-ffths
of the entire number in 1850 were established in
four States, namely: in New-York, 1858; in
Pennsylvania 1858; in Ohio, 2,20S, and in Mas
sachusetts, l, lll-aggregate, 1906. One would
naturally expect, from the great wealth and
population of New-York, that il would head this
list and that its chief lawyers would surpass
those of other States in their "litigious terms,
"fat contentious, and flowing fees" II is an
interesting fact that the number of lawyers in
any community usually corresponds directly to
its wealth, and not to its population. This City
now contains one-third Of all the property in the
State and one-third Of all the lawyers in the
State. The following statement presents the
aggregate number in both City and State at sew
ersl periods:

PRACTICAL AND CLASSICAL EDUCATION.

The period of the annual vaca atoms of Colleges,
Academies and Schools lie approaching. In the
recess any changes of discipline, any recon-
struetions or extensions of the course of studies
are usually adopted, and in view Of this we
venture to offer word on the nature of
the ordinary studies of these Institutions,
and to suggest some changes which we
think might advantageously be made. The
od.fashioned Colleges established before
the Revolution and drawing their inspiration
from Eng land and the Middle Ages, will doubt.

apex of cultivation is the acquisition of the

son was more an adept in the positive philoso-
ply of the French syclopedists than in the dead

principles from these msdern authors.
We are no enemy of classical studes-just
the reverse; but it is remarkable that American
college students are more conyersant with the
writings of the ancients than with the works of
a Hersche, Berzelus, Liebig, Davy, or any Of
the great lights of contemporary science. The
victories gained by our country over the forces
ofprimeval nature are not the product of quiet
scholarship, but come Of the activities Of practi
