For The journal
FROM A TEACHER.

We called at the seminary in
The west part of town, one day
last week where Mr.. Cooper has
about sixty students under his
care. They are decidedly an in
telligent set Of scholars; and
seem to be observing the Motto
that we saw written on the wall
of a school house, some time
since; "We're trWn."
To say the least, Mr.. Cooper
is man of pleasing and attract
i've manners, and rare student;
and by his very mild ard per-
suasive and at the same time
firm and decided manner of ad-
dressing his pupils, he wins,
rather than compels them TO do
his bidding.
We are pleased to see so large
a number of the youths of Ran
dolph, striving to attain the
priceless gift of an education.
We would say by way of encour-
agement, Ego on; it will be for
you at home, friend; abroad an
Introduction; in solitude a solace;
and in society an ornament"

that such 4 dilapidated village
stands In the center OF a country
naturally furnished with every
means of gaining wealth and
building towns? Why Is it that
instead of large and costly bust

gins which cast pallor over
the lover of liberty?
These interro.atlons need no

The same great cause slavery
has been the downfall OF nation-,
and is that which Is now trying

never succeed.
The health of the Saith is com.
