MERITED REBUKE.

Mn. EDtToK | observed in the TermoRt Re-
publican Of last week a notice of recent private
theatrical entertainment at the Lawrence Water
in terms very far from complimentary. In yievOf
the fact that the entertainment was private one,
got up by few ladies and gentlemen who vOlun-
tecred their services for the occasion solely for the
purpose Of contributing to the amusement Of the
guests Of the Establishment and their friends, it
was in exceedingly bad taste for the writer to sin
gle out an inexperienced amateur performer on his
first appearance in such character and make him
target for harsh and yindictive criticism Whate'-
err might have been his opinion Of the individual
whom he so wantonly assails, it was gross viola
ton Of the usages Of hospitality and the deenees
and proprieties Of life. to make them the subject Of
malicious yituperation in public print From tie
virulence Of the language employed, one would be
led to suppose the writer had some private feelings
of resentment to crafty, and in order to do 50
awaited himself of an occasion where he was mere
ly guest-where his presence was by no means
compulsory, and much less was there any demand
made upon his purse as the price of admission
The tact of the writer in Withholding his name
from the article in question, will doubtless enable
him to pursue his vocation with immunity in future
by abusing his privileges, being, he evidently IS
a stranger to the courtesies Of polite society and
going to the hosptable board whenever he does So
like pig to the dinner table, as a riaad and not
as guest.

which it will now require all the tenacily of the
Russians to hold. The latest date from the

reported in Paris, August 80, that the French
government had official notification that the
bombardmont of the Malakod' and Redan had

the siege Of Seblstopol was about to be raised.
also that communication had just been recev-

Accounts from Asia Minor are contradictory.

attempt TO conceal the fact that our next years
political contest will be conducted with refer
cnce to the issue between Freedom and Slav-
cry. This issue has been precipiiatcd upon
us, and prudence, and interest, aud indeed
sclf-proservation, compel us not to shrink
from il. The Northern delegates in the late
convention of the American party at Phla-
dolphin, gave the first decided Indications Of
belonging 10 the vcrtcbraI class of mankind
that we have ever witnessed in any similar
body. ] heir moral joints were not so Hexi-
bic as to lead them,
TO bend the suppliant knee
That thrift may follow fawning."
Whatever may have been their merits or de-
merits in other respects, on this subject they
were faithful to their constituency and faith
ful to themselves. There can be no sufficient
grounds on the part Of anti-savery men for
refusal To unite on such platform as was
then and there adopted.
We further desire union between the Re.
publican and American parties because We
believe il will promote the influence aud give
expression TO the principles Of the rank and
file Of our votcrs-the class with which we
claim the honor of serving. Political leaders
mny sometimes be induced to believe that
their interests and consistent line of polti-
cal action lead in different directions. In such
eases it is no more than reasonable to suppose
the former influence will occasionally get the
the ascendoncy over the latter. The masses
of the people have no such seductions to con-
tend with. They go to conventions aud TO
the polls to give form and force to their deep
ly cherished convictions.
Lastly, we desire a union on principle
among all the nnti-slavery voters in lhiscoun-
~ because coalition is attempted without
regard to principle, and for purpose in which
the great majority Of honest voters eau have /
no sympathy. Ills broadly limited on all sides, I
1t is generally understood among the leading
Democrats we believe, that every effort will
be made by the two conventions that are call
ed to meet on the 2lst inst, to form coali-
ton for the express purpose Of breaking down ,
the American party. When such declarations
are put forth by men from whose position aud
whose better judgment we have reason to ex-
poet other things, is it not time for the honest
masses to rally and Significantly refuse to be
made ihemedium of such transactions. There
ran be no support given tn the candidates OF
such coalition tina, will not justly be clnimed
rs an endorsement Of the administration, and
an encouragement of the Kansas silnnies. lf
such is to be practical working Of anii-slave-
y professions on the part of political leaders,
i is the dictate Of wisdom TO cast our votes
for men in whom confidence can he placed.

"a LITTLE LEARNING Is DANGEROUS
THING.-Then make it greater. No learning
at all is surely the most dangerous thing in
the world; and it is unfortunate that, in this
country at least, It is danger which cannot
possibly exist. After all learning is acquired
knowledge, and nothing else. A man who
can read his Bibles has a little learning, n
man who can only plough or dig, has less, a
man who can only bieak stones on the road,
less still, but he has some. The savages in
one of the Islands in South Sea, stood with
great reverence round n sailor who had light.

but soon as the water began to boil, they ran
away in an agony of terror. Compared with
the savages, there is no boy in Europe, at the
age Of ten years who may not be called learn.

practical knowledge in physics; and, rs this
