THE JEFFERsoNIAN DEMOCRAT,
How to meet the Threats Of Disunion.

aVW W mc0s the AuNohgo VI OAsuhAVhs
The ST. louis Democrat has an able ar
ticle on the extracts OF the practical posi-.
lion OF the South which is worthy. OF coz
sideration. We make an extract, itsays
eve care not 10 inquire now whether
these threats are mere bravsdo, and these
vaccinations are mere delusive fancics-or
premeditated deceils. Assuming, for sake
OF argument that they ale all real, that
the incendlaries and sooth-sayers mean
what they say just now, their gloomy ut
terances must, we think, produce an effect
the very contrary Of that intended, or, in
other words, help TO elect, not 10 defeat
Lincoln. The soberest and discreetest
WIN concur with US in the opinion that
the failure TO elect LINCOLN under existing
circumstances would be neitne. more or
less than confession Of abject cowaroioe
on the part Of the Free States. His defeat
would be disgrace 10 the country, for it
would be construed as proclamation 10
the world that the great majority Of the
American people had been deferred by the
threats Of a small minority from exercis.
ing the most precious OF their Constitu.
tional rights. Could threat Of any lind
deter the bulk Of the people from casting
their ballot in the mode prescribed by law
and sanctioned by ancient, uninterrupted
usage, for the man Of their choice to fll the
highest office OF the Republic, then indeed
might that Republic be despaired Of, fol
practically it would have ceased to exist
and any other struggle with the ligarchy
would be as futile as a struggle with the
inexorable facts. Much is said abou
Southern rights. Southern honor ant
Southern cbivary. while the rights, hono
aud chivalry OF the people at large, OF The
nation as a whole, or OF the North, il you
will, seem to find no expression from th,
lips, and no place in the minds Of declaim
ers, unless they happen to be discussing
come international question. In discuss
ing intersectionel questions, the homo
and chvalry OF the Free Safes are as
much overlooked as if they had no exist
} ence. We have only 10 say that ,hes'
qualities are native 10 the race, not TO th,
institutions Of either section, nor 10 tn,
parallels Of latitude and Longitude in which
il is situated.

If there be any one system which intelligent
persons will acknowledge 10 be superior to all
Others in utility it is that of good system of Edu-
cation. Wherever Schools and Colleges abound,
Civilization meets with its highest form of express
sion. An ignorant people cannot be otherwise
than debased and degraded; for advancement in
the arts and sciences and proper appreciation
OF the moral religious, and political obliga tons
OF a nation, must be based upon its intellectual
position Our noblest inheritance is the know

ding generations; our best guidance in the future
is the recorded experience of the past. Education

most certain preventive of civil war and anarchy in

BALTIMORE.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 80, 1860

We publish this morning the correspondence
between Messrs. REIMAN, MAcKALL and WETHERED,
appointed by the Independent Central Reform
Committee 10 apprise GEORGE WILLIAM Brown,
ESQ.,, of his nomination to the Mayoralty,
and that gentleman. 1t is very brief, bust
ness-ike, and to the point-on the part OF the
Committee, simply conveying information OF
the fact of an unanimous nomination, ana
an expression of their wish that it may be ac-
cepted, and on the part of Mr.. Brown, a few wei
chosen sentences, manifesting his sense OF the
gratifying manner in which the nomination was
rendered, and explaining the reasons which impel
him to accept it. In this correspondence we have
at least one happy reform, if we advance no
farther-which is, honoring, with breach OF OBJ
servance, the custom of venting whole columns
of trash on such an occasion. Considering What
we have suffered lately in this way, the prospect
of having an Executive who will not feel called
upon TO elaborate fearful messages, proclamations
and inaugurals-is truly refreshing. When our
public men shall cease cantng, twaddling, self
assertion, and Standardization, there will be long
step taken in the right direction.

structure and history, and of the Arts and Scien-
ces which have quickened invention, refined the
TASTE and aided to the luxuries of the wealthy
and the comforts Of the poor.
CAN education" says an able writer, "has ref
ference 10 the economy of society; it constitutes
''the apprenticeship of those who are destined TO
tttake a place in the order of civilized commu-
Unity, and, as universal knowledge and skill are
impossible it varies, for the different conditions
'tand classes Of men, like the different pursuits OF
'life.' These distinctions in relation to the OBJ
jects of education are recognized in the limited
scale upon which some schools are organized when
compared with Others. The circle of what is
called "a common-schoo education, - isregarded as
complete when the pupil attains TO n fair knowl-
edge of reading, writing and arithmetic. The
public high school, on the other hand approx
mates, in the extension Of its course, to the col
lege; whilst our private educational establishments
range through all degrees of instruction, from the
simplest elementary course to that which is the
most thorough and exhaustive. The higher order
OF private schools are, in some respects and more
especially in regard to moral training, to be pre-
ferred to the general run of colleges and unver
sites. Of this class of schools we have, for
tunately, in our midst many whose Principals arr
acknowledged TO be fully competent to perform
the duties which they have assumed. The re-
opening of these schools for the Fall term take.
place in the early part of next month, and il
view of the Importance which attaches to thu
subject, and to the care required in making
proper selection, We take pleasure in calling thu
attention of parents and guardians TO those which
| are advertised in our columns.
