The Jewish Disabilities.

The recent treaty of this country with
Switzerland, as our readers are aware. has
provoked very general and decided re-
monstrance from our Jewish citizens
They complain, and Justly, that it recog-
nizes certain disabilities that the federal
and cantonical authorities of that country
enforce upon them. anl thus refuses to
citizen of the Jewish faith the same rights
that are given to other citizens. The man
ifest injustice Of allowing difference of re-
ligious faith to create difference in the
treatment of our citizens by foreign govern
ments, should be enough to condemn the
treaty with On honest administration. 1t
ought to be amended, or rejected, till 1t
puts all citizensof the United States where
the constitution puts them, on the same
level, endowed with the same rights. But
it appears that an amendment is not likely
to be made. The South, whose whims and
preiudices are far more powerful with our
administration than the rights and lives OF
the North, has entered protest against
any alteration in the treaty, and particular
ly of this "Jewish Disability clause. 1t
is urged that if we compel Switzerland to
recognize and treat all alike whom we con-
sider citizens, she can require us to do the
same with all whom she considers citizens.
Thus, if there shoald happen ever to be SO
strange an animal brought to this country
as Swiss negro, our negro -phobic gov
ernment would be compelled to respect his
rights as citizen of Switzerland. A
gainst such result the South Indignantly
protests. And of course here the matter
must end That Democratic administra-
ton has veto be created that dares to dc
simple justice against tie will of the South
Though thcre.is no probability that such q
phenomenon as Swiss negro will ever be
seen in this country, yet no good Demo.
crat will hesitate to disfranchise all the
Jews in the land, to avoid even SO slight
chance of being compelled to recognize q
negro as a human being. The Jews may
chang their harps on the willows and
take mp their lamentation, for the evil they
complain Of will surely remain. The In
Justice is gross, manifest and admitted, ant
if they are good Democrats, as most o.
them are, they will feel that IN submitting
themselves to such an outrage to prevent
such disaster as the chance of a negro be-
ing endowed with some OF the rights oi
human beings. they are conforming to the
principles of their party. And that rehec
ton will doubtless give them intense salts

it there. in defiance Of the will of the people
thereof?
Question No. 2.-Do you deny tn, po-
sition laid down in Buchanan's letter Of
acceptance. that the people OF a Territory,
like those Of a State. shall decide for them

exist within its limits? or do you like him,

In former commpnication, / noticed
the qualifications which School Teachers
should possess in various respects. Other
qualifications might be mentioned, but de-
signing only brief examination of tho
subject, will pass over. this point, and
draw few conclusions from what has been
advanced. i19 . a lt a1f
That we have but few thoroughly quail
fed teachers must DO evident to oil who
know what qualifications teacher should
possess. Many act who in this capacity,
are sadly deficient. This viii be the case
more or less, until two things at least are
done. /. The public must demand teachers
who are better qualified. g Such wages
must be offered, as will induce young per-
sons to6t themselves for the employment,
and which will secure the services of those
who are already qualified. At present the
thoroughly competent in this respect. can
generally realize more pecuniarily in other
pursuits, than they can, in teaching. and so
long as this is the case but few will conine
themselves to tho school room. -
Those who possess the requisite gualiH-
cations, should. think, follow the occu-
patton steadily, at least il health will per-
nit They should make it their sole busi-
ness-devoting all their energies to the
duties connected with it. In this way,
they will be likely to attain to far higher
proficiency in the employment. than those
who only teach school occasionally, and
spend the most Of the time in other pur-
suits There is enough connected with
school teaching, to employ the entire pow
ers of any person intellectually, and physi-
cally.
Those who suppose that school teaching
is an easy business, are much mistaken
know of no employment that is more
faiiguing, iftcache,s discharge their duty.
Many who are able to'worll hard on farm,
and in mechanical pursuits, cannot endure
the labors of the school room. The pecu-
liarily exhausting nature of the employ

BIG BLACKBERRIES.
Two of our elitors, in company with
some twenty ladies and gentlemen, recent
ly Aug. 22, visited the grounds of Mes
sieurs George Seymour d. Co.,s,of South
Norwalk, Conn., They learned that these
gentlemen have been ten years engaged in
the nursery business, and now. have sever
al acres of the New Rochelle or Lawton
Blackberry Ia fruit, They arc now send
ing to this market the largest and besl
blackberries, ever seen here. Single stalks
or canes produce from six hundred to
thousand perfect berries, They expect to
be able to furnish to order as many as H.
600 plants during the coming Fall and
Spring, at from ten to fiiten dollars per
hundred, which is less than half the price
formerly obtained. q
Mcssrs Seymour & Co. have cultivated
and thoroughly tested the "Thornlcss
B!ack5e7y." and pronounce it "worth-
less thing" and not so free from thorns as
its fictitious name would indicate. %
One word more. TO keep the new Ro-
chelle, Lawton or Seacor Berry in bearing
from four to six weeks, it is only nercssa-
ry to cultivate them thoroughly, keep the
ground clear of weeds, and cut away the
suckers. They require rich warm soil
If gravelly and underdrained, all the bet
ter, and if well treated, are as sure to pro-
duce bountiful crop as any plant that
grows.
This Blackberry is said to be very prof
liable for wine making. and for quality un-
surpassed. Full directions for cultivating
the plant will be found in tho little book
above referred to. al-
