LETTERS to Young People, single and
married, by TIMOTHY TIrconB Esq Up mo-. =,
PIP. PSI. New York, CHARrrs ScRlDNrR.
Fourth Edition.
This neat volume contains a series of let
tiers which appeared under the same head in
the Springfield Republican. The literary
public understand very well that they are
from the facile pen Of one of the editors of
that able journal, j. 6. Holland Esq, who
has done the public good service by collect
ing them for the volume before us. The letters,
twenty-four in number, are grouped under
three divisions Letters to Young Men,
Young Married People. The aim of the
whole is,as the author states, "to give broth
ery counsel in Il direct and pointed way, to
the young mon and women of the country,
upon subjects which have an immediate
practical bearing upon their life and destiny,
and to give this counsel without resort to
can't or to the rreccptive lormularics that
80 much prevail in didactic literature"
We do not know where there can be found
within an equal compass more pleasant and
profitable discourse ON the various topics
which are touched upon, than in these letters
The young and the old can alike find enter
tlinment and benefit from their perusal
The work will be sent by the publishers by
the mail, post paid, to any one ordering it,
and inclosing 81, the price Of the book.

and understood The primary branches are
there taught successfully up to the point Of
fitness for the high school. In the working
Of the plan proposed, the district school would
naturally act in unison.
Tho plan here proposed groups the 2,7lo
school districts for the above purposes into
some one hundred high school districts. At
these hundred points would be introduced
from time to time, all the reforms, changes,
aud Improvements in instruction. One Com
missioner to each high school could direct its
operations, and superintend all the common
schools in the high school precinct.
The high school could be so directed as to
realize to the State all the advantages Of
Teachers Normal Institutes. Tho scholars
at the third term be put into classes to be
fitted for teachers. At these high schools,
Teachers Institutes could be held and lee
lures delivered upon the subject connected
with education.
At these hundred points the whole state
could be critically surveyed, and It's educa-
tonal efforts applied.
In Wow OF the premises the inference is lc-
gitimatc that if our proposed plan succeeds,
the means will thereby bc multiplied to di-
minish the public chsrges incident to pauper-
i'm and crime.
IL has been well observed that the ins,an-
ces are rare where children, having the refine
mcut of literary culture have suffered their
parents OF any other member of their families
TO be cast upon the public charity. II is d
matter of common observation in criminal
prosecutions. that the respondent, with rare
exceptions attributes his condition TO an mn
educated unrcstrained and neglected child

that in the plans Of the Almighty it has work

tory clause against slavery ever written, was
penncd by Thomas Jefferson. IL is called
the Wilmot Proviso. because it was ro-of'cr
ed to Congress by gentleman Of that name
and the men who call themselves the fol-
lowers and worshippors Of Jefferson, and pro-
icssed to be OF the true Democratic blood,
call it wind-brokcn and spawned.
Now you know that in the history Of our
wicked race it often happens that man is
known by name which was not his father s.,
and that man sometimes claims one for his
father who was not really such. ] think
