Many persons consider that this term applies,
exclusively, to what is learned from books at
school; and parents commit a great mistake,
when tbey suppose that they have done all their
duty by sending their children to school two,
three, or four years, as the case may be. The
term education ought to apply in its general
sense, to the domestic circle—to the home fire-
side ; and the school-room ought to be regarded
as the proper place for finishing or embellishing
the mind. - ¿What intercourse can the parent
have with the child more pleasing than that of
instruction ? ¿Can a pastime or amusement, in
all the variety that pertains to the married life,
be found more innocent, appropriate, and pleas-
ing in its character, than that of a father or
mother imparting instruction to a Fon or daugh-
ter ?
" To aid thy mind's development, to watch
Thy dawn of little joys,—to sit and see
Almost thy very growth,—to view thee catch
Knowledge of objects—wonders yet to thee"
So wrote the immortal Byron; ¿ and what pa-
rent's heart does not beat responsive to these
sentiments ? What a blessing it is, what a re-
lief it affords, to retire from the busy scenes of
life, and engage in sueh holy and heavenly pur-
suits ! The man who has toiled, and struggled,
and fought hard, in the battle of.life, may there
find a refuge from the " ills that flesh is heir
to," and have constantly before him the remi-
niscences of early and brighter years.
But it is not alone the storing of the mind
with knowledge derived from books, to which
the term education properly applies. The do-
ral impressions which are made upon the hea^t
should be carefully .attended to. In the first
place, yonng persons ought to be, sS early as
practicable, impressed with the true objects of hu-
man life: that tbey were not born, solely, to eat,
and sleep, and dress themselves like peacocks—
in a word, to be mere animals. Let them be
eonvinced, as early as possible, that they have
a mind which, aloné, distinguishes them from
brutes, and which must be cultivated and im-
proved, or, when they grow up, they will be the
most hateful of the brute creation.
They should be taught that kindness should
govern them in all their acts; and that it is far
" bettor to givo than receive." They should be
taught that politeness, and a respectful bearing
toward their seniors should always characterize
their conduct.
But there is snotber branch of early educa-
tion -that deserves the most oareful attention,
and that is, the formation of habits; and it is
awful to think of the felly and neglect of pa-
rents, of the present day. >« Many children are
allowed to gorge their Stomachs with animal food
at night, and to sleep, next morning, until a
servant awakes them for breakfast. This is
madness—it is murder; and the parent who

ie demise of this pre-

friends may And opportunity for mutual con-
gratulation. It is fcrmany men to be fortunate
in their lives; but the happy reservation of hav-
ing been fortunate is leaving this life at that
lnckv period when voice of commendation'
has been loudeet, asi that of censure almost
silent, is but seldom the fate of public men.
Emerging from tie rugged hills of his native
Btate, New Hampshire, be, unfortunately, left
alike the purity of political and social life, to
become, in the city if Boston, a great lawyer—
the advocate of seitional interests—the pen-
sioned agent of the nanufacturing and navigat-
ing interests of Ne* England; and when the
honor, the welfare, md the interests of the Uni-
ted States were at slake, it became his unpatri-
otic duty to advocate the local well-doing of the
moneyed men of Massachusetts, ¡D opposition to
the welfare, in tin* °f of all that endears
to us our native lasi—the full and hearty vindi-
cation of the right of every citizen of the Uni-
ted States. The war of 1811-2, for the pro-
tection of the American Flag, and all sailing
under it, was oppoicd by the late Mr. Webster;
who voted against Wis for supplying the soldiers
that Scott led.
In the long, inveterate, and mendacions war-
fare of the Bank aid Tariff monopolies upon
the Government >nd People of the United
States, Mr. Webster was a leading champion on
the side of paper capital—special prifilogp—
monopoly. He it was who, when speaking at a
political meeting, in an Atlantic city, on the
Sabbath, remarked:
" There are no Sabbaths in revolutionary
times."
There has been do day of political reward for
him. The principles of Jefferson, Jackson, and
Polk—the cardinal Democratic doctrines, whose
effulgence he and his compeers rendered, if pos-
sible, more resplendent by the unceasing, and
researchful discussions that the advocates of mo-
nopoly sought, and tceie defeated in,—are still
the charts by which the Ship of State is steered.
There has been no "change" in then. The
patriotic hearts, and sound heads, that gave ut-
terance to the doctrines which were opposed,
through a long life, by the Massachusetts orator,
have passed away, and he has followed them.
They have left Integrity, Patriotism, ind Intel-
lect, to mourn their absence, and revere their
virtues. To Intellect, only, unaccompanied by
other qualifications, let no laudations be uttered.
The minds that framed, and carricd into effec-
tual practice our Government were remarkable
for a conscientious regard to¡duty—their sworn
duty to the Constitution and the Unbn. Those
who are classed with our best men passed away,
must bo commendable for something more than
forensic ability.
Patriotism was possessed by Mr. ÍVebster to a
somewhat limited extent. It was nit evinced in
1811-2; nor in the war of the (J. S. Bank
upon the People; nor in a refusal to vote for an
appropriation to enable the Executive to defend
the territory of Maine, in view of an invasion
during the recess of Congress:
" If the enemy were battering down the walls
of the Capitol, I would not vote for this appro-
priation."
Such was the language of the Senator from
Massachusetts, on this memorable occasion; and
of the author of this declaration J. Q. Adams
remarked, in the House—
" He has but one step more to take, and that
is into the ranks of the enemy."
¿Was that patriotism ? We are heartily sick of
unmeaning panegyrics on the deal.
"Weighed in the balance, hero-dust
Is vile as vulgar clay:
Thy scales, Mortality, are jast
To all who pass away."
We know no political "saviouis of the Union."
The Union's strength is in the People's love;
and, if that should fail—if the doctrines of Jef-
' t
ferson should cease to be applied—no journey-
man Union-saver cáh save any thing, but self.
It has been á fashion, of late, to commingle
the names of public men, rendered famous by
Intellect, Audacity, or Oratory. Tho disciple
of Jefferson, he vho practiced what the Sage of
Monticello counselled, Calhoun, left this mortal
stage fiist, and best was he, probably, of all
rivals in the Senate. Integrity, Intellect, and
Worth, were his. Of plain habits—an econo-
mist of time, he was an indtpendent man. Of
two who were, in political life, his cotemporaries,
as much can not be said: Tho class for whom
they both had pletfd, in the Senate and at the
hustings, pensioned Clay and Webster.
Let our youth remember, that thereis no worth
without Integrity, Patriotism, and Personal Inde-
pendence ; and that these qualifications are to
be attained, under God's blessing, by all who
seek them.
fiUKTWI IS low fflft,
and we shall, with calmness mid
await the reckodbg. Many have pi
prophetic ken, and foretold the result. We ale
not so gifted ^ but base our hopesupoo th^. in-
tegrity, patriotism, and sound judgment-, of the
people. They may be deceived, and blinded by
passion and prejudice once—yea, twice; and
have been. But military enthusiasm has become
stale. The cry has been raised too often,
to cover false pretensions. Wbigs qstensibly
pretend to have renounced a bank and a protec-
tive tariff, but it is false; and sober-minded
people know it The judgment of the nation
has repeatedly pronounced against their doc-
trines ; and even the stupid and unlearned are
beginning to see the flimsy, false, and rapiily
ohanging phases, by which they have been se-
duced from the patriotism of their fathers, and
made the instruments of personal aggrandise-
ment,
We would ask the questiqn, ; whether any one
of the forty-seven Whigs who voted for Scott, at
this place, did it because he wanted a bank; or
protective tariff? If yea, we reply, that you
acted in bad faith. Your course was not char-
acterized by candor. You ought to have told
the people that such was your object. Y our
convention ought to have announced it from
head-quarters ; and then the people could have
expressed their opinion qt the ballot-box. The
People constitute one branch of the Govern-
ment ; and unless questions of policy are pre-
sented to them, that branch of the Government
must remain inoperative, and ineffectual; and
this is one of the reasons why we call Whigs
anti-republicans. General Scott positively re-
fused to write any letters expressing his views
upon questions of policy ; and hence we charge
hi in with being an anti- republican.
But we will now turn away, with disgust, from
the deformities and corruptions of Whigery, and
for a time seek to lead the minds of our readers
to the contemplation of better things.
LITEST MEWS.
-
A few days previous,to the election, the Gal-
veston Journal «ame to us, announcing many
Democratic frauds, which, the Journal says,
were successfully exposed. All of them, bow-
ever, were taken from other Whig papers, so
that the responsibility might be readily shifted.
This, however, will not do: we shall tell the
troth of all of them, and,if false, shall hold the
Journal guilty for its endorsement. Among
other things we 4iall investigate, are the follow-
ing: — The fei|ery of a communication from.
Bishop Hughes,, in Pennsylvania; the change
against the Washington Union, of having'placed
the name of the Hon. Lewis D. Campbell to
n or signed by him, and
it of-the journal, under cover
Aat Gentry and Williams, of Ten-
i into the support of Scott, all
i to be false, and intended to
his party to exult
not heve to resort
The Houston papers notice our announcement
of a rise in the river, and ask, ; how long will it
remain up ? We reply, that we believe it will
continue navigable until late next epriug, and,
in all human probability, through the ensuing
summer. As to our not having boats, that is
our misfortune, in which our envious neighbors
may exult; 't is their nature. But this will not
always be : Their hellish exultations will, one
day, be turned into envious scowls. A day of
retribution will come, and that speedily.
" Yellow Fever.—The Lone Star says Mr.
E. D. Little died at Chappell Hill, on the 13th
inst., of yellow fever on the coast, and that one
other case has developed itself at the same place.
We should be glad to be informed on what part
of our coast the yellow fever exists. This is the
first we have heard of it. The report by the
James L. day, was brought after the above w¡}¿
written''
The News has mis-quoted our notice of the
death of Mr. E. D. Little. We will re-publish
it verbatim:
" Mr. E. I). Little, died at Chappell Hill, on
Wednesday last, of yellow fever, having con-
tracted the disease somewhere on the coast.
One other case is said to have developed itself
at that place, though it is to be hoped that its
spread will be arrested."
And we respectfully ask the News, when it
speaks of us, to confine itself to the truth.
Mr. Little left home in*good health, went to
Indianola, and returned with the yellow fever
upon him.
" By last mail we received a slip giving an
account of the Democratic barbecue at Wash-
ington. on the 12th inst., at the bottom of which
was written " Lone Star." We have not re-
ceived a Star since the oflSce passed into the
hands of Mr. Wynne. Have you cut our ac-
quaintance neighbor ? If so, why ?
The Pioneer, must blame the mails for not re-
ceiving our paper, and we will join in the cen-
sure, for we have no desire to cut our neighbor.
His stock will do, and we hope to be able to
avail ourselves of tjje cross for many years to
come.
The State elections appear to have resulted
everywhere in favor of the Democrats; though
the precise returns have not yet been received.
Florida.—The Tallahassee Sentinel, the
Whig journal at the seat of Government, says
that the Whigs have sustained a total defeat at
the late election in this State This is a Demo-
cratic gain.
The returns of the Florida elections havo been
received from all but two or three counties.
Broome, (Dem.) is elected Governor, and Max-
well (Dem.) is chosen to Congress, to succeed
Mr. J. C Cabell. The Legislature is largely
Democratic.
Pennsylvania—The Democratic majority
for Canal Com. is 8,112, and for Supreme Judge
7,471, in 42 counties. The aggregate in the
State will probably reach 15,000. The Union
rays 17,000.
Ohio.—A despatch from Col. Medary, dated
Columbus, Oct. 16, says the Democratic major-
ity will be 20,000. 12 Democrats, 7 Wh;
and 2 Free Soilers elected to Congress.
Indiana.-^—Wright, (Dem.,) km at least 20,-
000 majority for Governor. 10 Democrats and
1 Whig elected to Congress.
The Cuba Affair.-«-A telegraphic note,
dated Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 22/says, "Lieut.
Porter of the Crescent City, has been summon-
ed to explain his conduct at Havana. It has
be*n also determined that the Crescent City
shall go no more to Havana. The steamer
Georgia is to be substituted for her. This gets
rid of Parser Smith sad the difficulty. It is
thought, by some, to be a clear justification of
Cuba an the part of oar government."

Bremen steamer Washington arrived
morning from Southampton, which
she left on the 13th inst She reports
that the Collins steamer Pacific arrived at Liv-
erpool in die morning of the 13th. Cotton at
Liverpool had been in good demand for the two
days, proceeding the Washingtcn's departure,
with sales on Monday, the 11th instant, of 8000,
and on Tuesday of 10,000 bales, at prices a
sh*de higher.
New York, Oct. 27, 11:30 a. m.—TheCun-
*rd steamer Niagara has arrived at Halifax,
bringing dates from Liverpool to the 16th iust.,
three days later than the accounts by the Wash-
ington and oue week later than those brought
by the Europa. The following is a summary of
her commercial accounts.
Liverpool, Oct. 16.—There has been a
good demand in the cotton market sinos the de-
parture of the Europa, and the sales of the week
embrace 74,000 bales, of which speculators have
taken 26,000 and exporters 4,000, leaving 44,-
000 for the trade. Prices have beeu firm
throughout the week and latterly an advance of
fully 1-bd. per lb.—the greatest improvement
being on the lower qualities. The quotations
at the close are asfullo.vs ; Fair Orleans ü 1 -2<1,
MiddlingOrl.au-, 6d. Fair Uplaud 6 í -4d, and
Middling Uplauds ó 3-8d per lb. There was-
little activity until the arrival of the steamer on
Wednesday. Her accounts gave an impulse to
the demand, and a decided movement upward
to prices, and the sales of the last three days
have been 45,000 bales, making a total business
for the week of 74,100 bales Speculators
have come forward freely, and have taken 27,-
000 bales of American descriptions, while 4,400
bales have been taken for export. Under the
influence of the steamer's news, prices advanced
l-8d, the middling and lower qualities showing
the greatest advance. The offi ial quotations
last evening were as follows: Fair Orleans
6 I 2d Middling Orleans 6d Fair Mobile 6 l-4d,
Middling Mobile 5 7-8, Fair Upland 6 1-4, and
Middling Uplands 5 3-4d. per lb. The stock
on hand last evening at this port was 475,000
bales, of which 370,000 were American. To-
day the market is firm, and prices close with an
upward tendency
Trade in the manufacturing districts is im-
proving. The London Money Market continued
easy and Consols close at 100 to 100 1-8. Com-
mercial advices from India are favorable for the
manufacturers.
Flour has been in good request and the rates
have "advanced. Flour is now quoted at 22s.
for Western Canal, and 22s. 6d. per bbl. fin
Ohio. Corn has been rather better and closes
at 29s. per quarter for yellow and 30s. for white.
Lard has been steady and closes at 62s per cwt.
that nothing political would be allowed to be
introduced, and this was acquiesoed in by the
convention.
The committee on resolutions reported in fa-
vor of expelling, by force, not only -coolies and
peons, but all foreigners, tendering the services
df Toulumne to neighboring counties that might
need assistance, and recommending a State Con-
vention to complete the work. A majority of
the-oommittee reported a resolution to the efleet
that slaves should not be allowed to work in the
mines.
The resolutions of the majority of the com-
mittee were adopted, #fth but little ahetation.
The address sustained them in their utoet war*
like feature. To this, objection was made, and
during the discussion your correspondent left.
The convention, I think, may be set down as a
failure. Though there was a good dealof patri-
otic fury put forth against all foreigners, when
they attempt to. marshal their hosts for battle, I
imagine they will find them grow " small by de-
grees, and beautifully less."

The troops under command of Major Fitzger-
ald, while at Sacramento lately, turned their
horses out to graze below the city. They got
into and quartered off the garden ef Mr. T. O.
Shelby, for which he claimed $8,000 damages.
The matter was a>bittated and $4,000 awarded
him.
The miners in the neighborhood of Greaser-
town were so incensed at the Spauish population,
that they organized a foice and drove several
hundreds of them away from the place.
Mr. Miel Logsdcn was instantly killed by a
log rolling down a hill, some quarter of a mile,
at Volcano Bar, on the 6th ult. He had just
arrived from over the plains with his wife and
three small children. The miners and citizens
on the bar held a meeting, and raised a sufficient
sum to send his wife and children to the Atlan-
tic States.
Lieut Sweeney, and Maj. ITieutzelman, with
some troops, had an encounter with 200 (g 300
Indians, near the fork of the Gila and Colorado,
who were endeavoring to steal sheep from New
Mexican drovers. Oue fire was ordered, when
a single Indian fell dead, and the others at once
made signs for peace. The Major refused to
treat with them unless they brought before him
the principal chiefs, and the band started off for

brings 200 passengers and the mails. The Pa-
cific steamer failed to conncet with her at San
Juan. She has $300,000 of treasure on freight
and in the hands of passengers. We take the
following from the memoranda politely furnished
by the purser :—"The Georgia left for New York
the same evening with 300 passengers and $2,-
000,t'00 on freight. The Tennesse brought
down the mails and passengers. There was
nothing of any note transpiring on the Isthmus.
The railroad is progressing rapidly, and the
health is now vety good. There had besn quite
a number of arrests of natives lately by the New
Grenadian Government, and the effect was very
good on the remainder. Left at San Juan the
steamer Prometheus, which was to sail for New
York on the arrival of the passengers from Cal
ifornia. Business was very dull at San Juan,
and many were complaining of the times."
The steamer Tennessee, on her last trip from
San Francisco, brought $2,272,500 iu gold dust,
the largest shipment by any one steamer this
year.
The Sun Francisco Herald of the 1st instant
say : On the 25th ultimo, the Ameiican brig
Hailowcll, Capr. Gessenius, a. rived at San Luis
Obispo, from Mazatlán and Cape San Lucas, 62
days out, with 112 passengers—mostly Texan
emigrants who came by the way of Northern
Mexico. They endured, it is said, great priva-
tions on the route. The Hallowell put into San
Luis for water and provisions, having had i
succession of bead winds for more than 35 days
Most of her passengers, and all her crew, left
her at the latter plaéé ; which obliged the cap-
tain to. come up to Monterey to get a fresh
crew. The crew went down on th& Ohio on
Wednesday.
An extensive trade is springing up between
California and Australia, and the number of per-

The Eclectic [McGuffeys] Series of 8chooi.
Books.—We take pleasure in calling the attention of
our readers to the advertisement of our friend, Mr.
James Burke, concerning the Ecclectic Series of
School Books; also, to the accompanying editorial,
from the Galveston Journal. We agree with our re-
spected cotemporary of the Journal, in regard to the
importance of a uniform series of school books for
the State; and appreciate the force of his riasoning,
why the Ecclectic should constitute that series. We
are sure that whatever promotes uniformity and
cheapness in our common school books, is a public
benefit.—[Houston Advertiser. 6 3t

" I digest!" Such is the true meaning of the word
" pepsin," or of the two Greek words from which it
is derived. This is the significant and appropriate
title of the true digestive fluid, or gastric juice, pre-
pared by Dr. J. Houghton, of Pniladelphia, from the
fourth stomach of the ox, for the cure of indigestion
and dyspepsia. It is Nature's own remedy for an
unhealthy stomach. No art of man can equal its
curative powers. It renders good eating perfectly
consistent with health: See the figure of the ox, in
another part of this paper.
