I ou wlll ind that there are some Fillmore men
ABOUT The Cult and that when the votes are count
ed there wan be some Fillmore States there, too
but mucn depends upon you. You are the EN-
pre- State---the State OF Millard Fillmore,s resi
dence-the State where the American nartv has
stood the frmest and the strongest for the rights
of the whole country. We recognise the American
party OF New York as the party of the Union and
the Constitution. Your vote, then, is most import
ant and ifyou act as though you were resolved
to carry the ticket here to victory, you will start
fire that will run through the Southern States and
sweep Democracy away before ID into nothingness
You will not have one State only, but several
States that will rally to your side and help YOU TO
secure the triumph Of American principles and the
American nominees EsF
We look upon this contest as one for the Union.
We do not support Mr.. Fillmore as a pro-slayery
man. nor do we ask or want support for him as
such, any more than you uphold him as an anti.
slavery man. We support him as an honest pa
trotic, Union man. There is not press. or a
public speaker at the South, who would desire that
Mr.. Fillmore should be pro-slavery. They love
and respect him as man who is honest capable,
and faithful; who will stand by the constitution Of
his country, and recognising no sections, and no
dividing line In this glorious confederation. will
guard the Union with jealous care, and insure to
all its citizens that protection, and those rights
guaranteed them by the constitution and the laws
! am gratifed, in conclusion, to Say that the
spirit have seen manifested here to-day, as well
as all have observed In the State for the past two
weeks, will make me strong in the belief that In
the coming election the glorious Empire State will
take the lead in securing victory to the candidates
OF the American party.

A PRACTICAL

We once heard of a committees interfering with
and turning out Il schoolmaster, for Committing
enormities, in the way of illustrating his lessons.
1t appears that he had enlisted the minds of the
pupils in Natural Philosophy, and tried to get
some apparatus, but he was told to do the teaching
and leave the nonsense. But nothing damned, he
got some apparatus himself and told the boys if
they would bring a mouse or two the next day he
would show them the effects of nitrogen upon them.
The next day came the committee to reprove him,
because forsooth, the boys in their eagerness to
learn, had been up all night trying to catch mice
for their master, and disturbing the house! lie
promised to do better, but when he came to AS
tronomy he committed a more atrocious crime-fUr
being deficient of an Orrcry, he took the biggest
boy in the school, and placing him IN the middle
for the Sun told him to turn round Slow ON his AK
is as the Sun did: he then placed II little fellow for
Mercury; next to him n girl for Venus; then Il rep.
sentation of the Earth; then a fiery little fellow
for Mars and so on, till he got all the planetary
system arranged, and explained to each how fast
he was to turn on his heel as he went round his
orbit. Then giving the signal, the Sun commenc-
ed revolving; away went the whole team Of planets
around him, each boy keeping in his proper dis
lance from the centre, trotting with the proper We
locity in his orbit and whirling around in due pro
portion as he performed his revolution.
1t must have been y rare sight, and a lesson
which the boys retained; for do you think my dear
Sir, that John, who represented Mercury, would
ever forget that he had an easy time walking round
the lubbcr in the centre while Will, who repre-
sented Herschell, must have been out OF breath III
.scampering around his orbit?
But the boys did not forget the lesson, neither
did tic master; they danced, but he paid the
piner! for, Mortified. the committee dismissed
him at once; he haG been teaching, for aught they
knew, the dance Of the Turkish dervishos.

who, in his two Immediately preceding courses OF
four years each, had the good fortune to have
Francis Jeffrey and Walter Scott as his pupils.
Brougham made his first public explosion while at
Fraser's class. lie dared to differ from Fraser-a
hot but good natured old fellow-on some small
bit of latiny. Tho master, like other men in power,
maintained his own infallibility, punished the
rebel, and fattered himself that the affair was
over. But Brougham re.appeared next day,loaded
with books, returned to the charge before the
whole class, and compelled honest Luke to ac-
knowledge that he had been wrong. This made
Brougham famous throughout the whole school. l
remember, as well as i9 it had been yesterday,
having had him pointed out to me as the fellow
who had beat the master" 1t was then that !
first saw him.
DESCRIPTION or A FINE LADY IN EDINBURGH FIFTY
YEARS AGO.
Except Mrs. Siddons, in some of her displays Of
magnificent royalty, nobody could sit down like
the lady of Inverlieth. She would sail, like a
ship from Tarshish, gorgeous in velvet, or rust
ling in silk, and done up in all the accompaniment
of fan, fnger-rings, falling sleeves, scent bottle.
embroidered bag, hoop and train-all supurb, yet
all in purcst taste, and managing all this seemingly
heavy rigging with as much ease as n iull-blown
swan does its plumage, she would take possession
of the centre of a large sofa, and at the same mo
ment, without the slightest visible ex,rtcn, would
cover the whole of it with her bravery, the grace
full folds seeming tolay themselves over it like sum
mer waves. The descent from her carriage, too,
wheresshe sat like a nautilus in its shell, was a
display which no one in these days could accom-
plish, or even fancy. The mulberry-colored coach,
spacious, but apparently not too large for what 1t
carried, though she alone was in it, the handsome,
Jolly coachman, and his splendid hammercIoth
liveried footmen, one on each side of the richly
carpeted step these were lost sight of amidst the
slow majesty with which the lady came down and
touched the earth. She presided in this imperial
style, over her sons excellent dinners, with great
sense and spirit to the very last day of a prolonged
life.

A LESSON FROM HISTORY,

The history of the past makes but little impress
ion on the prOsent generation. The reason seems
to be this People now look to those Of another
period as if they were a distinct class, having none
OF the passions, virtues, vices, or mental endow'
mcuts Of the present dav. This, however, is not
the truth. Men have the same organization, and
they vary only in degree, as to physical or mental
powers, from age 20 age. Keeping this TACT In
mind, history might be read with moro interest,
and the downfall of nations make its own deep
impression on the hearts of the living. What
was true of Greece and Rome, may yet be record
ed even of this gigantic Republic. Ancient dy-
nasties fell to rise no more, and we are not so per-
feet in America as to bear up against the over
w%helming floods of vice, confusion, crime, and
degradation. Ambitious men are at work, sap
ping the foundations of the citadel of freedom, and
laying explosive trains to merge this Union in IRE
trievable ruin. Cicero, the gifted orator of Rome,
said of his country
"The Republic is assailed with far more force
ana Continuance than it is defended, because bold
and p%rofligate men arc impelled by u nod. or move
of their own accord against it. Why are the good
and patriotic more tardy to save it? They neglect
the beginning of things, and are reused only in
the last necessity SO that by delay and tardiness,
even without dignity, they lose all. The weak de-
tenders OF liberty soon desert the timid fly those
alone remain firm, whom no power, no threats, no
nal shake in their resolution"
10 lbi HOlIlDp III lnt uDONb llil CHlISI U u
approval of its truth AS the elements of good
and evil are closely allied, so must the victory
over the latter begin with those whose heads and
hearts have been disciplined in virtue. We want
good examples-.not SO much promising, preaching
and cxhorting. Intelligence without virtue only
leads us into new dangers virtue without intel
ligence can never overcome political corruption.
Ambition, pride, ostentatiUn, avarice or the love
of money, are our great faults as a people. Blu
they are obstacles to happiness. Riches aid US
not in securing liberty. Mexico has the most pro
ductiye miues Of the precious metals in the world
and yet that beautiful country, uncqualled climat,
ard soil, is filed with a stupid and superstition
people. Spain once enjoyed peace, and was ricl
in science, arts, and lourishing schools aid uni
versities she grasped for the wealth of Peru
and became poor while she boarded money. lie
schools went to decay, her sons became corrupted
the nation sank into vice and cffemiuancy, an
she is now one of the most degraded and impoyel
ished kingdoms Of Europe, although she has
better climate, Il richer soil, and more resource
for m aud manufactures, with create
means to increase her physical power, strength
and wealth, than any one of them. BOiinbrok
said, that History is philosophy teaching by cs
~amples.' Let the American people give heed
this correct saying.-Boston Investigator.

CLEVELAND WOOL DEPOT,

THERE is no longer a question, or a doubt in
the minds OF those who arc best acquainted with
the advantages the Cleveland Wool Depot offers for
the sale of Woods. of its Importance and practical
bility.
Located, as it is, at the outlet of the great wool
growingWest, being of easy access to wool grow
ers, and merchants, and within twenty-fOur hours
ride of the most distant manufactures of New
England, it possesses great advantages.
Manufacturers excepting those who are engaged
as spectators in woods, speak in the highest terms
of this system, and the many satisfactory letters we
are receiving from our wool growing friends, have
Stimulated us to increase our efforts to make this
house what it should boa safe and reliable chan
mel for the sale of their woods. 1t has surmounted
all the difficulties and oppOsitiOns that could we'll
be brought against any enterprise by q class of
spectators opposed to it, and it now has more
and stronger recommendations than ever. We
have spared no pains nor expense in making am
pie arrangements for all who may wish to avail
themselves of the advantages arising from this
manner of grading and selling woods. Merchants,
and wool-growers, who wish to realize on their
woods, on delivery at our Depot, can be acccommo-
dated with liberal advances. If desired, sacks
will be sent as heretofore to those wishing to send
us their wool, and WOOL TWINE for tying ue
heeces, will be furnished at from Is to 20 cents per
pound.
When several in one neigE bOrhood wish us to
forward sacks or Irvine, we prefer sending to one
address. Our customers in Illinois, and the West
ern States, will find that ordering sacks from us
will save Thorn much trouble, and insure the safe
arrival of the wool here, as our sacks are all num-
bered, and stamped Cleveland Wool Depot and
after being fixed by consignors, will require no
other marks.
We hope for a liberal patronage, our charges are
low for handling and selling, and we promise our
employers that our Undivided attention shall be
devoted to their interest.
Very Respectfully, GOODALE & CO..

A COL0RED TEACHER AND POET.

Our readers have rcioiced over the abolition OF
caste schools in Massachusetts and the admission
of colord children into the same schools with those
of II white complexion, even in Boston. When it
is considered that, twelve years ago, colored peo-
pie were not even permitted to ride in the same
cars with white persons on the Massachusetts, rail
roads, it will at once be seen that n great and
salutary change has been wrought in public opin-
ion. We have the pleasure now of pointing to
another ripe fruit of the anti. slavery movement,
in the fact that Miss Charlotte l. Fortcn. grand.
daughter of the late James Forten of Philadel-
phia, has not only graduated with high honors
from the State Normal School at Salem, Mass,
but has actually been appointed Principal of one
the Schools In that most aristocratic of all Ameri-
can cities-a school in which all the subordinate
teachers and the great majority of the scholars
are while. The Salem Register, the most infuen-
very complim entary terms, and publishes a poem
written by her and road on the occasion Of the
farewell exercises of the Normal School. From
this poem We give the following extract:
They boast of Freedom in this land of ours;
Yet every breeze that comes from southern bow'rs,
Brings us the captive's cry of deep despair,
His bitter moan, his agonizing prayer.
That beautiful South.land--is freedom there?
Is perfect freedom here, in our own North
Too few there are who rightly know its worth.
While any can be found who basely kneel,
Fen while the Southron's naughty pow'r they
feel,
While he shall dare insult, attack, and sIay
The noble few, who scorn his brutal sway.
Still have we much to hope for-rays of light
Illrme for us the dark and dreary night;
The few, who molly toll for Right and Truth,
Toll not in va;n within the heart of youth
Their seed is sown, and it shall yet give birth
To harvests rich, and gladden. all our earth.
We, knowing well the need of larger bands
Of more true, earnest hearts, and willing hands,
Have sought to strengthen mind, and hand, and
heart,
That we, in the great work, may do our part;
That, through our influence, the dew Of truth
May fall on tho unfolding flower of youth.
While we, with eager footsteps, gladly roam
Der the wide realms where Science has her home
And lead the young and curious on, to tread
The paths DER which her glorious light is she'd
While, with her treasures rich, we seek TO store
The youthful mind, which ever craveth more,
We will remember there are higher claims,
And strive to teach with these far holier aims:
That love of all mankind, which ever tends
70 strengthen life's most earnest, noblest ends;
That firm and true adherence to the right,
A lamp, which burns with strong and steady light
And mid the storms dark clouds, its ferccs
wrath,
Will guide the bearer safe in duty's path.
