ciGc initial letter the name of one or more per-
SONS, and chacacterizing them by longer or
shorter description of their peculiarities or &C.
tons. Thus, on the first evening, names are Sc
lected of persons which begin with A, and so
on, on successive evenings, till the whole alpha
bet has been finished.
The different traits of disposition and feel
ings of the persons engaged in the exercise are
exhibited by the choice they make ftheirheroes,
and much amusing conversation ensues, to en-
liven the hours as they so pleasantly and IN
structively pass on, while great number OF
personages are brought forward, whose char
| acters are discussed with healthful regard to
the formation of good taste and sound morals.
The tendency of the book is thus to convey
knowledge and impress correct principles. In
cidental circumstances, and, among other, the
progress of an affection that settles into an en-
gagement between the two teachers, are like
wise made to diversity the gatherings for In
struction.
The plan suggested seems to US to be an ex.
| cellent one, among the many devised to enlist
the youthful mind, and we doubt not that other
parents, besides the Mr.. Clayton of these vol.
umes, with his family of Herbert, Arthur, Maude,
and little Alice, and with the aid Of Miss Dome
and Mr.. Carey, teachers, and Mr.. Austin, the
friend and visiter, may with advantage adopt
a similar one. At least, it is worth the trial,
and we commend the book to them, to learn its
mode of execution more fully, assured that they
will like it.
Mrs. Willard has given US, too, volume full
of wisdom, not only on the minor morals of life,
but deeply imbued with a religious spirit, that
looks for its best teachings to the Bible. 1t is
q book ON which, if we had time and room, We
should love to dwell at length. The instruction
it conveys is of permanent value, and affords
materials of reflection from day to day. While
the allegorical pictures by which the eye is
caught read out their warnings, and point to
the way of usefulness and happiness, the reason.
ing and illustration by various proofs of Gods
wisdom and goodness, and the stories told in a
pleasing way, concur in the design she has in
view, to make her work one of solid excellence fo1
all who will avail themselves of its varied pages
| The questions at the end, too, mark the mind OF
one whose life has been spent among the young
training them up and adapting herself to every
shade and diversity of character, marking the
phases of their dispositions and tempers, and
studying out ways and means to reach them, and
set in motion the springs of action for good and
| noble living. Her style and arrangement
evinces the same qualifications, gained by long
and self sacrificing labors, which have met and
are meeting their reward in the success of hel
pupils in this world, and yet to meet its higher
and more glorious reward, we trust, in the world
| to come.

liable benefit to the country at large, and add
to the intellectual enjoyment of our own citi-
zens.
For these reasons, we might especially COM
mend the present, which is the first exhibition
of paintings and statuary, COLLECTED from all
parts of the country by this Association, to the
patronage of our citizens; but we have more
earnest argument to offer, aud which, we trust,
will secure their attendance. The Exhibition
is far superior to any gallery of paintings ever
before offered to the attention of the lovers of
Art in this community.

DANIEL WEBsrER's OPINION OF THE SUPREME
CcpKT.-A correspondent of the Boston Atlas
reports q conversation which he held with Dan.
iel Webster in 1851, concerning the character
of the Bench, in which Mr.. Webster said:

Who thoroughly understood his case, could form
an opinion as to Its result before the Supreme
Court ; bu; not now, sir, not now. That court
has become court of expediency."

THE RIGHTS OF COLORED CITIZgNs-OPIN
ION OF JUDGE CURTIS

We publish, to-day, the conclus on Of that
portion of Judge Curtis's opinion which selates
to the question of the citizenship of colored
persons. In this lucid and satisfactory exposi-
ton Of the grounds of his dissent from ,be de-
cision of the Supreme Court, the fudge refers
to the language of the Constitution, which
speaks of "a citizen of the United States at the
time Of the adoption of the Constitution" that
is to gay, at the time of the Confederation. 1t
is fact that freeborn inhabitants Of African
desceat were, in five of the originsl States, not
only citizens, but possessed the franz bse of elect
ors on equal terms with white citi ;ers. They
ana Hpr whom the Constitution was established,
and consequently among those who, according
to one of its provisions, are entitlfd' to sll the
privileges and immunities of citizens in the
several Ststes. And Congress hss 40 power,
undeethe Constitution, to deprive shem of the
rights of citizenship. The only poVNr expressly
granted to that body of legislating concerning
citizenship being confined to the,,passage of
naturalization laws, that is, the re,aogal of the
disabilities of foreign birth, which, of course,
csnnot affect the rights Of the ma ive-born in
hsbit.nts. While Congress has exc usive power
of making aliens citizens, the d. termination
what persons shall, by birth, acqui e the rights
of citizenship is left by the Cohsttu ton entirely
With The several States.
:Afer showing, as above indicated that, in the
opinion of the trainers of the Constitution, color
WAS ot necessary to constitute citize ship, Judge
Curtis adds, that in repeated instanc s-as in the
treaties with various various Indiaf. tribes, and
in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidale sin lS4S-
The practice of the Government b, admitted
coIorod aliens to citizenship. AND ae asserts
that the case of native-born persoN of color
stands on much stronger ground tbsa of those
WHO acquire rights by the action f:ae Execu
tive and of Congress. s.
Other considerations of an equsl decisive
character are urged by Judge Curtis IN support
Of the conclusion that free colore6 citizens of
some of the States, born within tb01e States,
are citizens of the United States, ha ing there.
