Business

Three centuries since, learning and
science were almost wholly confined to
the monastery and c~loister, and but little
Impractical advantage flowing from them
found its way to the great world without.
Hooded Monks pored over ponderous
tones of black letter manuscript, monop-
olized and boarded up the learning Of
ages ; either allowing it to be buried
with them in their graves, or using the
power and influence it gave to increase
the wealth of their order, OF gain politi-
cal place and power. 1t was this con-
centration of all learning and science
within its pale, which raised the Romish
Church to The height, which it once &C.
cupi"d, and caused the power of the
Pope, its head, to be felt, and acknowl.
edged over the civilized world.
Then, colleges sprang up. and science
vas more largely distributed, but still, it
was retained within the body of profes-
sional men /; and until very lately, TO the
ranks of Clergymen, Lawyers, and PLY
s;cian's have the knowledge of the high
er branches of learning been almost en-
tircly confined. To them alone, have
the benefits of the thorough system OF
mental training, practiced in college
halls, almost wholly and entirely ac-
crued.
Agricultural and business men were
left solely to the oral counsels which fell
nom the lips Of their seniors who had
followed The same calling or to learn
wisdom from the sometimes bitter lessons
of experience.
These things are now undergoing a
change. Agricultural colleges are
springing up. in which the future farm
er may appropriate TO himself the &C
knowledge of ages, the expe-
of thousands, who have gone be-
fore, and learn theoretically and practi-
cally how to shape his W course, by
teachings of all men, who have made
the science of agriculture the study of
their lives.
Colleges, solely for the education of
business men, are now spreading abroad
among our youth the advantages of
thorough systematic mental culture {; Of
and accurate business knowledge.
With these are contained lectures from
men of the highest scientific and literary
attainment, all having but one end in
view, TO make fit the student for an hon
est, honorable and successful career.--i
Two of these colleges, are now in sue
,essful operation in Cleveland, and one
Pittsburgh. To the young man who
proposes to engage in any of the various
branches of commerce, trade or mechan
les a full thorough course in one of
these Institutions, offers ~incalculable ad-
Fantages.

like the attempt Of his prototype, Mr.. CAL
houn, to give effect, tothe South Carolina
notification, be paralyzed by the frown
OF an indignant nation, made potent by
an honest and firm Executive.
And there will end the career of those
gentlemen who arrogate to themselves
the exclusive tuielage of the Democracy
of the country, as ended that of Mr.. Cal
houn and his proselytes, who took the
peculiar charge of the Estate Rights
party. They sunk, under the universal
conviction that their zeal for State Rights
was an ardent passion to reach political
power, at the hazard of extinguishing in
the blood Of the people the wise and free
institutions it had cost so much to estab-
lish.
Our innovating Democrats who put
under foot the representative principle /;
who violate the known will of their con-
stituents; who scorn their instructions to
redress the wrong they have committed,
who reply to the suffrages that condemn
their conduct, that they are not Dem
o%cratic suffrages who, in the plentiude
of their i~nfalliability, read out of the
Democratic party, Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, New York, Prnnsyl-
%vania, Ohio. Indiana, Michigan, Illinois,
w s%consin, and Iowa. because they will
not submit to the will of their Representa-
tiveS,,; who have set up a test, which
must forever exclude Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, and Vermont, who have
bartered away the rights secured to them
all by cOmpacts-will soon learn that
Democracy does not reside in the organi
cation of intriguers, but in the mass of
the people.
Il; is the glory of our great Republic,
that its Democracy springs up from the
soil, and hournishes in the fresh air of
our widespread country; and hat its rich
harvest, ~imparting health, strength and
spirit, 10 our whole system, is gathered
annually at the polls. The Democracy
which is bred in caucuses and cabinets is
a sort of hot bed sp cies-a delicacy suit
ed to the taste of epicurean politicians ;
whose app"tiies are their principles. In
cumbents and expectations of offices and
dignities claim a sort of patent right IN
the machine of Government to create a
Democracy adopted to their purposes.
Their innovations in the machinery are
cOntrivances to renew their principles for
new terms and the people are the sub
jects who are to he used upon it to pay
uibute for this privilege, and take pride
to the skill of the operators.
The telegraph wires and the Cinci
nnati Convention are to bring all the
mastery combinations of the Admins
%tration in contact With the masses at the
appointed time. But, will the wires
work ? Undoubtedly the people, far and
wide, will have their instructions from
the o orators but the response will
probably be a thunderboll to those who
have violated their ri rhts, sp1rned their
remonstrances, and, as a consequence,
have arrayed brothers from different sec
tons of the Union to shed each others
blood, in civil war, on the plains Of Kan

LIVES OF ATRoc:oUs JUICES, RY RICH
ARD HILDREru.-This book, just pub
lished by Miller, Orion & MulIigan, N.
Y, is one of the most valuable of the
late publications, which has come under
u notice. The author says the text of
this book of Judges, has been derived
from Lord Campbell's Lives of Chief JUS
tees, and lives of Chancellors. The
last named works, are large and expen.
sive, and contain much that is uninterest-
ing 10 the American reader, while this
is a concise history of those who were
most remarkable for the boldness with
which they prOstituted their judicial Of
fees, and turned them into engines OF
terrible oppression. The lives of the
Infamous Jeffrey, Scroggs and North, are
skilfully delineated. But the browning
interest which attaches tothe book, il the
eyes of the American readers, is the fact
that an appendix is added, giving a COM
plete history of the Passmore William
son case, thus placing the name of Judge
Kane, side by side with the most infa-
nous men who ever disgraced their ju.
dicial ermine, in Great Britain. Not a
word Of comment is added. Not one is
needed. But there, in all its blackness,
stands the damning record.
Mr.. Hildredth, is already well known
to the public, as the author of the best
history of the United States, extant.

The year 1856, and the Chronicle.


1t may not be improper, on this, the
second morning of the year, first of all,
to wish a Happy New Year to each and
all Of our resders, and to say a very few
words of cur paper and ourselves. When
we purchased the Wronicie, re did not
enter upon our duties under very fatter-
ing auspices. The paper had not been
issued regularly, subscribers were dissat-
isfed, and the subscription list was ra-
pidly diminishing. W. r pleased to
have it in our power to say that this is
the case no longer. Our list has been
increasing for some time, and we enter
upon the new year with cheerful antici-
pations of the future, and a determination
that no exertien shall be wanting on our
part, 10 render our paper worthy Of pa
tronage. If we fail in this, it will be for
want Of ability. The typographical ex-
ecution of the { bromide has not been
such as we wished, for the last few weeks,
but this was entirely unavoidable at the
time, and that evil is, we think, perma-
nently remedied. The present number
is. in that respect, a specimen of what
the future numbers shall be. We have
incurred considerable expense in the pur-
ehsse of new press. &C., and hope our
subscribers will, by their patronage and
their influence, sustain US. To the many
kird friends who have aided US by prompt
payment, and chccred us by words Of
encouragement and kind wishes, we re-
turn our sincere thanks.

squatter Sovereignty, and the Trumbull
Democrat.


The Demo-r0t attempted to cloak its
subserviency to the dictates of the lead.
ers of the administration party, which
only exists, as an ally, and tool of the
slave power, by protesting to advocate
the doctrines of popular sovereignty, as
follows:
The Abolitionists and Fusionists Of all
grades and c%olors. have taken the ground
that Congress should be allowed TO die
: tate to the people of the territories and
enact for them-if deemed proper-irre
pealaAs laws. The Democracy do now
and will in future battle against any
such despotic assumption of power by
Congress, and will contend for the right
of the people to e.-Democ, at.
After the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, the very first act of the leaders
of the Patent Democratic Party, was to
send over into Kansas a horde of raga-
mullins from Missouri, led by Atchison,
the Democratic Speaker of the Senate,
to preuent the people from making their
oVa laws. The Democratic President
removed Gov. Reeder from Office, for no
other reason, than because be used his
influence in favor of allowing the people
of the territory to make their own laws.
Gov Shannon was al pointed because
he was known to favor the making of
laws for the people of Konsas, by the
slave holders of Missouri, and their
tools.
These are remarkably convincing proofs
of the love of the Democratic Leaders for
The dear people of the territories.
But suppose the Patent Democracy do
honestly advocate the doctrines of squat
Ter sovereignty, and what does squalter
sovereignty mean?
1.-The Democrat says it means that the
people of the terri cries shall make their
own laws, or in other words shall decide
whether when admitted into the Union,
they shall be free, or slave States.
O. All the territory of the United States.
belongs TO the citizens of the United
States, each individual citizen being part
owner, and il is entirely under the con
troll of Congress. Now if the people of
the United States have not the power OF
legislating for this territory, who has ?
The Trumbull Democrat says the peoplt
of the territories. Suppose there are t,Oo
settlers in the territory. will it be left to
8 them to say whether there shall be free
dom OF slavery there? If not, TO how
many? Are one hundred, or FIVE hun
dred men, each owning 100 acres of land,
mot enough to settle a single township,)
are they TO say whether slavery shall eI
ist in a state larger than New York, and
. belonging to the whole people of the
United States :? A large majority of the
citizens of this country are opposed to the
extension of slavery. This is no man of
ordinary intelligence denies. Then the
will of The majority of ten millions of
voters respecting territory belonging 10
themselves and no one else, to be set
aside because five hundred men, in the
territory shall oppose?
What would be democratic in this
case?
