Separate Schools.

Mr.. Stowe, Scotch teacher, thus
sensibly dis courses of the evil and
folly of mawkish modesty which sep
arates the sexes in our schools. W.
commend tho remarks to those who
think that every proposal which
brings the sexes into nearer relation
to each other must have its prompt
ings in Righteousness
"The separation has been found in
juriOus. 1t is impossible to raise the
girls as high, intellectually, without
the boys as with them; and it is i'm
possible to raise boys morally as high
without girls. The girls morally Ol-
,svats the boys, and the boys intel
lectually elevate the girls. But more
than this, girls themselves are morally
elevated by the presence of boys; and
boys nre Intellectually elevated by
the presence Of girls. Boys brought
up with girls are made more positive
ly intellectual by the soltehing inau-
ence Of the female character

DIngratitude.

Eli Thayer the Yankee represcn-
tative, in aaate speech on the Kan
zas Bill, which for originality, sar-
casm, logic and ingenuity, was the
best that has been delivered in. Con-
greSs for The last five yearsE-piteo-
ously lamepting the ingratitude of
the Supreme Court to the South in
depriving them through the Drcd
Scott decision of the "aattering unc-
ton" that had been outstanding
the African race, the Court having
virtually declaredthat negroes have
no souls, the inimitable manner in
which he pictured forth the pious care
of the slave owner and his conster-
nation on finding himself throwing
his religious zeal away on q thing
without soul, was certainly one Of
the finest specimen Of humor to be
found in Congressional annals. 1t
seems the supreme court not alone
in its ingratitnde to its masters, for
the Rcv. S. D. Baldwin, a Methodist
minister, in a recent work, brings
forward the original idea that the de.
cendants Of Ham and Shem "enioy
no promise ofpersuaSion or conver-
sion, Of faith and confession, as
races" and that "Millennial glory
does not anticipate their full regener-
alton"
This affords ground work for a new
argument, while at the same time it
must afford great consolation to
those who are always preaching
the christisnization through slavery
of the trace that have no rights that
white men are bound to respect"

LIBERTY OR DEATH"
PRAIRIE CITY, X, r., MAY 90, 1856
A State out of the Union.

Some of our own politicians have
been bowling because they were scared
at a nightmare they had raised to
frighten them with. When the To-
peka movement was the watchworp
of the party, it was proposed under
certain contingencies to put the State
Government into motion. Direful
were tho pictures that were conjured
up by the Minnsola Harm oneaas
at the mention of such q thing. If
we could believe their phantasy, no.
thing short Of annihilation, blood and
rapine, would be the lot of our peo-
pie. How they did tremble ] What
denunciations of the fanatics they
did yomit forth Well, it was not
done, and the fearful thing averted.
Frightful as such thing may seem
to these nervous gentlemen, there is,
at this moment, State out of the
Union in full opcration-we mean
Minnesota. The people, tired Of the
dilatory conduct Of Congress, have
put the State machinery in working
order. Their State Legislature is
in session and the people have, by a
popular vote, pledged the credit Of the
State for the snug SUM of $5, 900, 900.
No Federal bayonets have yet ap-
peared to frighten the denizens Of the
;infant sovereignty. We do not be-
lieve that consequences any more
hostile would have rested upon us, if
we had put tho Topeka Goverement
into motion, or should now let the
!, Leavenworth machinery into opera
-ib%n.

Political Prospects.

The New Orleans Delta has the
following spicy comment upon the
present position of squandom friend
and demi-goi Douglas;
4" What are Andrew jackson and
his specialities Of policy, Henry Clay
and his expedients' for the hour--or,
passing to the yet living, what is
Douglas with his Kanzas hobby OF
1854, from which he has unhorsed
himself; Jackson and Clay lie in
honored graves they were men for
the hour, who bravely did the work
of the hour. But as regards the
needs that now exist, the circums an.
ceS in which the country is now
placed, the fossils Of nameless mon
sters entombod in the qualifications
of the Saurian period have nearly as
much relevancy as they. AS for
Douglas, he worked well for q time;
but he lived fast; too early for his
fame and his future, accomplished his
BEST uses; blind with ambition and
revenge, mivtook his occupation, and
went to carving images for strange
idolatry: and so he has had his day.
He was not penetrated with the phi
losophy oil his own politics; he fail
cd to comprehended, and conscienti-
.ously recognize, the full scope Of his
own principles. He could not Under
stand that mysterious but most true
relation that exists between pro.sla-
very, in its widest and most generous
sense, and democracy, with It's most
vital wants and highest aspirations.
He could not SEQ, or has refused to
acknowledge, that negro slavery on
this contipent is the most conserva-
tive element oflibcrty, and most un-
yielding foundation on which demo-
cratic institutions--rthat Is to say, in-
stitutions recognizing, universally,
the eqpql political rights and priyi-
leGes Of white men--can be estab-
lishod and defended. And go bo shot
madly from his orbit, on the apti.Lo-
compton tangent, and wanders blind
and raylesg in tho immensity 'ofroom
wl@ph he finds on tho road no hes
talon TO political obscuyity."

On this subject the N. Y Evcain9
Post Of the 9th inst, thus speaks in
an article on the English Bill:
Instead Of suppressing, the Eng
lish bill will but impart new impe-
tus to agitation; the party of the
opposition will henceforth loom up
as the champion, not alone offreodom
in the territories, but Of the rights of
the people against usurpations Of cor
rupt and tyrannical Executive. II is
notorious that vast majority Of the
population of this Union are oppo-
sed to the fraud now perpetrated up.
on Kansas, and the fact that its suc-
cess could only be procured by a
shameless abuse Of federal patron
age, will arouse a universal move
'hent to prevent its repetition. There
is reason even now to anticipate that
the scattered elements Of opposition
will henceforth, TO some extent, en-
Iulate the tactics Of the Administra-
tion, in forgetting their past differ
ences, and unite for the overthrow of
the common enemy, The excuses
Of federal Capitalization, we hope,
have insured its downfall"
In regard to the course Of the pco-
pie here the same paper says;
eve will not undertake to say
what the people of Kanzas ought to
do when the Lecompton Constitution
10 submitted to them under the Eng
lush bill, for that would be conceding
that honest men might doubt wheth-
sr they ought to reject the insulting
bribe or not. Whether it will be re-
jected is Of course moro uhcertain.--
The temptation is very great one;
it is rendered by an Administration
which scruples ut no grade or quality
ofcorruption, and those who want ex-
cuses for voting. with the President,
can readily find them. AT the same
time it will not bo difficult to salts
fly even the moSt mercenary class Of
the Kauzas population that the accep.
tance Of a pro-slavcry constitution
would be fatal to their prosperity,
while their admission under 4 free
constitution might, in. the natural
course Of things, be the very, first
measure Of the next Congress.
What now is most needed is Wig.
lance, discretion, and determination
on the part oftho froe-stato men in
Kanxas, and all will yet bo right. II
will be, on the whole, far more tel
ling result in every way TO defeat the
slavery propaganda in Kanzas than
Congress, and II can bo done with
out difficulty, proper means are ta-
ken TO secure fair play in that terri
tory. Wepresumo the opposition in
Congress will see that nolhingis neg
