.» The good lady, whose bitter feelings had
given place to the kinder emotions of pity an
benevolence, before Ned had halfconcluded
his apology, (for it was delivered in a tone
of the most melting eloquence-,) caught at
this last hint, and insisted upon sending his
meals to his room. Ned reluctantly consen-
'ted, after extorting a pledge from her. that
she would assume the responsibilities ofthe
trouble that he was about to give the family.
‘ As to your boarders madam,’ said Ned
in concliision, ‘I have no apologv 30 make
to them. I grant them the privilege of cat-

concerned I sball‘exerc.ise_the SEl[’f)e.[)-l'|Vll-

The good lady promised obedience to his

A group of gentlemen at the fire. place
had sent many significant ‘ horns’ and smiles
to Mrs. Blank, during her left: a tale with
Neil ; and as she approached them, on her
way out of the room, they began to taunt
her pl;-1:,Ifl.Ill_V, upon the impression which
she set-ztiezl to have made upon the remark-
able stranger.
'-Really,’ said one. ‘ I thought the im-
pression was on the other side.’
, ‘ And in truth so it was.’ said Mrs. B.--
’At this moment her husband stept in.
‘ I’ll tell you what it is Mr. Blank.’ said
one of the company, ‘you'd better keep a

is. the better will she like him.’
* Vlft-.ll, I assure you,’ said Mrs. B. ‘ I ne-
, ver had my feelings so deeply interested in
' a stranger in my life.
I’d give the world
to know his history.’ ,
‘ \’Vhy then,’ rejoined the landlord; ‘ I
suppose. he has been quizzing us all this
’ time.’
‘ No,’ said she. ‘be is incapable of quiz-
zing. All that you have seen of him is un-
affected, and perfectly-natural to him.’
‘ Then, really,‘ continued the husband,
‘ he is a very interesting object, and I con-
gratulate you upon getting so early into his
confidence; but as I am not quite as mitch
captivated with his iinziifected graces as you
, seem to be, I shall take the liberty, in chatty
to the rest of my boarders, of requesting
him to morrow, to seek other lodgings.’
‘ Oh,’ exclaimed Mrs. B. in the goodness __
of her heart, and with it countenance evin-
civc of the deepest. feeling, ‘ I would not

‘ How do you know '1’ -

‘ Get along with your nonsense.’ said
Mrs. B. smiling as she left the room.
At 8 o’clock, I retired to my room, which
happened (probably from the circumstance
ofour reaching the hotel within a few min-
utcs of each other.) to be adjoining Ned’s.
I had no sooner entered my room, than Ned
followed me, where ive interchanged the
particulars which make up the foregoing
story. He now expended freely the laugh-
ter which he had been collecting during the
evening. He stated that his last interview
with Mrs. Blank, was the result of necessity
—-That he found he had committed himself
in making up and disposing of his odd stip-
per; for that he should liaveto eat his meals
in the same way, during his whole stay in
Savannah, unless he could manage to get
them in private; and though he was willing
to do penance for one meal, in orde r to pur-
ch-asethe amusement which he had enjoyed,
he had no ide:i of tormenting himself three
or four days for the same purpose. To tell
you the honest truth, said be, nothing but an
appetite whetted by fasting and travelling.

THE NEXT Pitt.-zsiuuucv.
otir decided disapprobntion, of going prema-
turely into the discussion of the claims and
merits ofdilfercnt individuals for the next‘
Presidency. ‘ VVe entertain the firm convic-
tion that to do so, would hazard the harmo-
nious _acti_o_n ofthe VVhig party in the next
congress, 56 throw the most serious difficult-
ies in the way ofthe adoption of those great
measures, which the vital interests of the ria-
tion so loudly call for. In addition to this
it may be said, that the exampleof our wary
opponents also teaches its a lesson tipon this
subject, that we should profit by. There is al-
so somcthingto be urged upon the score ofthe
repose which the country so much needs,
from the political contests through which we
have so recently passed.
Such being otir feelings upon this subject,
we cannot but express our regret at wit-
nessingthose movements of a portion of the
Whig party, which are designed to place
the name of Gen. Scott, forthwith, before
the nation as candidate to succeed Mr. Tyler.
VVe had observed that public meetings of
the friends of Gen. Scott have been held, in
different parts ofthe country, and recently a
very large andfcntbustristic one at Harris-
burg. And a demonstration more decided
that way, than any other which has mani-
fested itself, is the application that has been
made to the General, by many persons in
various parts ofthe country, for if statement
of his views upon the leading topics of the
day, and a reply to the question, whether if
nominated for the Presidency, he would ac.
cs-pt the nomination. _To the many inter-
rogatories that were thus put to him, he has
replied in the form of a private circular,
which has found its way into the newspapers,
and he winds up his communication by re-
marking very frankly, that his answer to
the question in reference to his becominrr a
candidate for the Presidency, is, yesl if :0;
required to renounce any cardinal principle.
The result, we presume, of all these pro-
ceedings is, that Gen.,Scott is now to be con-
sidered before the people, as a candidate for
the first office in the Government. Not hav-
ing had it in our power to control these move-
ments, and having warned our friends of the
danger of such a step to the Whig cause, and
continuance of the administation-in the hands
of the Whig party, we can now only regret
what, has occurred, and hope for the best.
The circular of Gen. Scott is somewhat
lengthy, and is written in the frank‘, straight
forward manner of an honest-hearted soldier.
He sets forthhis principles without the least
apparent disposition to conceal a single emo-
tion of his bosom, and lays dotvnsound and
gr-nuine_Whig doctrines. A few brief ex-
tracts will enable us to put our readers in
possesion of his views up.oi_i_ the principal
points which bediscusses.

Slioe" Statistics.--A Lynn shoemaker
writinggin the Boston Atlas, gives sotne in-
teresting fuels, in relation to the number of
shoes and boots imported from France. The
quantity of boots fairly entered from France,
last ‘year was 16,848 pairs, besides those
from other countries, which is an increase of
sixteen hundred per cent in eightyears; and
the custom is daily becoming more common,
for gentlemen to send out their measure, and
order directly from the manufacturer. Ow-
ing to this, Forr’s boots are now as well
known in New York and Boston as in Paris.
Of ladies’ shoes, the quantity imported last
year was 72,432 pairs, which_ is an increase
of more than four hundred per ct. in eight
years. In this. we make no calculation for
those brought into the country in other ways
than through the custom house, which as
they are not bulkly, is no doubt very large.

ceived in a letter from the Rev. Mr. Sherman

were about three days journey from Mosul,
when Mr.‘ Mitchell was seized with it fever
and died the same\day—he was taken at
midnight. Mrs. Mitchell then became dan-

particular information was robbed before he

A letter from Rev. Mr.
friends of Mr. M. says:—
"The circumstances of the death of Mr.
and Mrs. Mitchell, were of so trying a char-
acter as that no one can read or think about
theiit without emotions particularly mourn-
ful. They were on their way from Aleppo‘
and had travelled it appears thirty two days,
when Mr. Mitchell was taken with a chill,
but was not hindred in his journey till three
days after, when he was obliged to stop and
resorted to bleeding. From this be experi-
enced no relief, butsunk rapidly and died at
midnight, in the midst of a desert and sur-
rounded by native Koords. They bore the
body some hours to a small village, where,
without a shroud or a coffin, they committed
it to the dust- ’
The survivors then setoff for Mosul, and
travelling for two days, Mrs. M. was overta-
ken by premature confinement, and was
borne on a litter three days to Mosul. Her
death occurred soon after; how soon we
are not informed.”-—N. II. Palladium.

M R. Ri-2i-:n—Iu my last Iaimed to show that
children have capacity to make higher attain-
ments wiiliouiinfriiiging upon the lime necessa-
ry to be devoted to their occupation for life. I
designed in the present number, to take up the
consideration of crpensc. "
But before I proceed further. it seems to ma
proper to advert to one ortswinslaucos in which
Citizen has mistaken my views; and spent no
iiiconsiderable amount of strength in answering
arguments which I have not advanced, and in
castigating sentiments which I have not enter-
tnined. .
He represents me as saying, (and makes a
quotation as ifrcpeating my words,) thin " ‘The
time was when the idea that a good common
education was all that a majority of the people
required, was not suited to ilie latitude of New
Englant.” From iliis he goes on to refute a
sentiment as if'I had uttered it, viz: that the
time was “ \Vlien a majority ofthe people of
New England. had a better education than
could be acquired at our common schools.”-
He says that with due deference to my opin-
ion, be “ Begs leave to difl'er-with-xgme here.” I
cannot allow hint to rlitferwiih me on this point.
I have made no such assertion. I ltave not said
that which involves any Such Sentiment. This
man ofstraw ti biclt he has dcrnolished is one
ofhis own raising : and “I give him joy of his
victory over it. '
Oti these points, Citizen has neither quoted
my words nor sfatcd their import. I do not
wonder that be 5l)( uld find it desirable to shift
the ground and shape ofthe point at issue; but
this, however desirable is not now to be admit-
ted. Ile hail repeatedly used ilteargiinieut that
what is now a common tducation " Is all that
is necessary for a great majority of the children
who attend our common i-('liools.” He has dc"-
manded “ Of what acli:a1.ttagc" it is to the far-
mer or mechanic. to make attainments in any
of the higher branches of learning ; for though
he. like a skillful plcader, omits to mention any
_ofihe higher and more useful branches, of an
English education. and talks of" halfa dozen
languages,”—tlte drifiand the whole gist of his
argument is that such higher attainments are to
[lie farmer or mechanic nearly or quite useless.
The whole force of such an argument on the
question at issue, is, that 8 better education, as
it is not necessary. is not desirable ,- and that
the great majority ought therefore to sit down
contented where they are._ The burden was
a higher standard ofeducaiion is attainable’, but
that it would be usrful and desirable. And I
repeat it, the time was, when if it could have
been shown lathe citizens of New England that
a better education was within the reach ofilteir
children, and entirely within their meiins._niid
could have been made common to all alike.
they would not have listened to the suggestion
that no better education is necessary.
I said go preach this doctrine to the serfs of
Russia. W/tat doctrine? the doctrine that pn-
reots ought to seek for their children no more
education than is necessary. Sure’ I am. that
Nicholas would not feel disturbed by the preva-
lenceofsuch a doctrine. And is this the doc-
trine which Citizen would .have preached in
Russia and carried into eflect '! By no means.
but quite another. Citizen supposes that" So
surely as the subjects of the Emperor ofRussia
should realize asgood an education as our com-
mon scbools afl'ord,jusl so surely, would the ty-
ranl’s throne crumble to atoms beneath him.”
Has Citizen forgotten. or is be yet ignorant,
that the late despotic King ofPrtissia’esiublish-
ed, and carried into effect throughout his king-
dom, asystem of common education, by which
education in advance ofthe very best furnished
by the comtnon schools of Connecticut? That.
system has been in operation an age, and so far
as the education ofu com mon school gocs., know-
lege is now more universally difiiiscd. and the
standard of coiiinion learning is higher in Proc-
sia than it is in any part of New England.-—
Hcr learned men. are as a body far in advance
ufours. Nor is there in Europe a firmer throne
than that of Prussia. It is not the common
difiiision of literary or scientific knowledge that
is to overthrow despotism. The secret is that
in Prussia the press is muzzled, and the pulpit
is made dependent on the government; the
great principles of freedom and of human right
are not discussed and are not understood. Cit-
izen appears quitt: to -mistake the operation of

contempt of the universal diffusion of common
education, that such diffusion of nothing more
than common education. is so mean anVadv_an-
rage as to be fit only for Russian slaves? His
remarks are nothing to the purpose unless he
intends so to represent me. And he intimates
that I regard such a universal diffusion ofcom-
tnon knowledge, with nothing more. as disgust-
ing! He has before taken some pains to re-
present me as looking upon a common educa-
tion with contempt. . And he says in his last
article, with reference to my remarks on the
idea of limiting our aims in education to wha; is
necessary. that “ One would be led to think
front the manner in which he treats the sub-
ject, that he considers a good common education
as not worth the pains of acquiring.” Iask in
earnest. tcoulcl one be led to think thus of mv
vi_ews of a good common education '1’ Such is
not the logical tendency of the article in ques.
iion. butdirect, ilieiéverse. Citizen himself,
evidently does not so understand me. I hava
which such a conclusion can be drawn. But
that there may be no such mistake hereafter, I
wish Citizen distinctly to understand. that I re.
gard a good common education as an acquisi-
lzon beyond all price. I regard neither it, nor
its possessor with any degree" of contempt. I
regard a thorough common education as the
indispensible pre-requisite to entering with pro-
fit upon I the branches beyond. With Citizen
"I would not diminish the chance‘ for all lo
obtain a good corrimon education, by devoting
a part ofthe school fund to the support of a
school where a few may be liberally educated.
