uomm Morgan, Dec. 12, 1836. Remkrii on tkt importmei 0 State Institutions far tkt qualification 0 Bttmmntrt, It may bo hoped that the importance of the idieet will redeem the following observations from eetire ncgiecu i on v-- oat, thai a government, whose constitution Hie rational freedom of its subjects. knnn for nernetuitv. tvitho'U a due en- nf nratlical education, than that one should attempt lift himself up by pulling at his own boot-straps, Free government is, emphatically, one that emanates from the people, for the people's benefit and the only one which human icason mm find nrmimcnts to ill-tifv.

That government which is not adapted to promote, equally, the interests of all, is dis- carded by nature's impartiality, as an insult to Tier beneficence. It lacks an indiapensible attribute of good government that of promo ting the highest good of the reatest possible number. The necessity in which letrislation origin atcs, together with the indtfiiriitc peculiarities and defects or human character ana circum. stihees. subicct it.

somewhat, to the modifies. tions of expediency. A spirit of local legislation and the institution of monopolies, can, however, searcely be indulged with impunity to national prosperity. The only true principle of legislation is, to adopt its entire population as wards of its be-ni6cent guardianship, looking to the people's weal for testimony to ils usefulness, and to 'the commendation of posterity for the consuuv mstinn of its elorv. Political education should not, therefore, consist of, merely, the chronology or the an 'eedotea of history, but of a thorough acquain tancewith the physjeal, moral and intellectual rharaetAi of man.

as displayed in the va. rious relations he hear.1 his, fellow man. Unnce the individual, who has not been dis ciplincd to profound reflection, upon human character and habits, is as unqualified fur legislation as he, who il yet ignorant of the pri-mative clement of arithmetic, is to apprehend the geometrical theorems of Euclid. Necessity or accident may have wrortght out a nation's freedom: but it can be prescrv- nnlti. liv tho diffusion ami ne its citizens, nf that degree of practical edncation which shall vnahle them to appreciate its value.

Virtue prepares man to relish the means of rational felicity, whilst education atone ena-nlcs him to distinguish tho genuine from the spurious. Even piety, itself, with all its re puted excellence, unaiual oy science, oegen crates to the most contemptible superstition. In fine, education not only contributes to the success of temporal enterprise, the elevation of moral charactci and tho improvement of human happiness, but is, apparently, in-dispensible to a felicitous appreciation of the glories ol a luture state. What higher Fulijcct, thereforo, presents it. aelf to human contemplation than that of in tellectual culture that which bat beckoned mankind, Hep by step, from pagan iJolatty -and Jewish superstition, to the happy recognition of the illuminating and eali'lary principles of the gospel of peace.

That which has re claimed our reverence from the basest pagan pro'titution, to its snhlimo association in the wonhi? of the diviuo Redeemer 7 And here the question importunately obtrudes itself: What has been, hitherto, accomplished, in our own country, by legislative patronage towards elevating the characteror improving the model of common school education 7 Will that legislator who has, upon this sub ject, been vehement in suggesting and urging measures of reform and ho lias been most sanguine in his auguries and Ins hopes, with, hold, still, hit acknowledgement of total dis. appointment or attempt to sustain the sanity ot his reveries by a shameless allusion to antecedent legislative puerility? Will not every fleeting Individual in whom conscientiousness predominates over adhesiveness, or frankness over dogmatism, lend hia voice tn'the general dissent from the utility of past legislation and point, indignantly, to the present illiterate slate of society, as an irrepressible evidence of the accuracy of hit Fundi have been created hy charter reservation, and especial legislative enactments, which have been squandered with the mockery of utility. Notwithstanding our laws, relative to the the expenditure of school-funds, fiave required an imposing formality in their execution, indicative of tho deepest jealousy of the wisdom and integrity of tlio people, yet they have hern so imbecile iu their character, and so inefficient in their operation, that waste has been, neatly, eo'uruensuralc with I he amount of receipts. Has not the zeal of the warmest odvccalcs nf refurm, been cooled, at length, to the tero iiidiftv-rcncc, from a consciousness of the entire failure of their most hopeful prospects: and has not legislation, despairing of success, finally, anhandoned tho subject to ignorance and chance 1 Mature, in the creation of the human race has peremptorily declared that reason is not an instinct, bat an acquisition, but having still rendered it indispenrible to the consummation of herp'irpuso: is it not sacrilege to charge her with delinquency, in tho adaptation of means for its attainment? No gift of second sight seems to bo required lo prognosticate the regression ol human character, in the absence of unremitted cultivation. Means, therefore, adequate to the desired i ff el, should he sought for with the ml 'of inquisition and adopted with the avidity of parsimony.

Wlnt, theo, constitutes the pivot rn which has, hitlicitn, revolved this systrm of legislative imbecility Is it deficiency of pecuniary resources, or misapprcheniion'ofa judicious mode of application. In the infancy of our local settlements, the former may hare beon an (Oiciont obstacle to tin surcoasful prosecution of common school education. Tho proverbial enterprise of the Ameriean, has, lmwever, long since, obviated this ohjer'inn, throughout tho early populated portion of our country, wail tho western pioneer lint been sharply pursued by mtiltilnilin ous emigration, competence and wiallh during most of the period which has elapsed since the establishment or our political independence. The latter, lien, would seem to be particularly implicated in die failure of our past r. rejects.

At least, the subject presents itsielf, as not unworthy of diecussion. And lo him, who weitld maintain the wisdom of past provisions, ihe contest is not only open, but the gauntlet thrown. In conclusion of these preliminaries, Ihe sentiment may he advanced without the far of contradiction, that competent qualifications, in M'honlinastere, are indispensablo to successful instruction. Koine discrepancy of opinion existing, only, upon the subject of rompeicn- cy, itsolf. This includes, in its d.

finition, not merely ihe attainment of what tha student is expected to as taught, hut every thing which, nn the part of the teachers, may facilitate com. monies 1 in. No teacher, therefore, at lent of rudinvMal acinic, should be considered e.nm. petnnliy qnalifiod, unices hii acquisitions, very rini.rloMblj, exceed what ha if required to commmicete. That tha eonn'rv has aver heen very imperfectly supplied with competent leacheis ia a truth, much less humiliating thin that no attempt, whatever, has, hitherto, been made to remedy the delect.

Colleges and academies have given pledgee, iipoo th 1 subject, which have been but illy re-doomed, Jf0r it ever be expected that Ibsy will nrtet tlit tiocesrities of community, 1 he poverty ol reputation and wages, heretofore, attached to school teaching, in New-England, though, perhaps, equivalent to its deserts, will infallibly render high academical or collegiate acquirements, altogether unavailable in Ihe business of common school instruction, where, more than in any other case, the public inlcreat requires them. The question, then, recurs, upon the subject of a remedy for Ihe universal evil of incompetency in schoolteachers, which is not likely lo be realized from anv oihcr project Ihan that of the institution of public seminaries, liberally endowed, upon the principle of gratuitous instruction, and judiciously conducted, as governmental engine. Willi these, our nation may soon realise the character which its egotism has, fictitiously, assumed, and, silting on a political and literary eminence, it may beckon, alike, both the Hottentot and the Briton to come up lo a participation of the honors and felicities of intellectual ascendency. -(To be continued.) SENATOR FROM OHIO. It is well known that the Tories in Ohio have resolved to defeat, if possible, the reelection nf Thomas Etving 10 the U.
