even -to the highest perfection, but poor-
ly supplies the want of a harmonious and
as far as may be, perfect developemeiit
of all our faculties, moral as well as iii-
tellecrual. This enlarged idea of educa-
tion, the ancients did not possess and the
consequences may be traced, not merely
in their speculative opinions,biit in many
questions of political ethics, and practi-
cal politics. The superstitions of a false

religion dwarf" as well as c01'1’“P~l- ._El1.‘=..

mind. Science and Philosophy attain
their highest elevation only when tlieory
become haudmaids to a" pure religion.-
The knowledge of‘ the true relations of
man to his fellow man and to his Maker,
their rofoundest Philosophers were una-
ble tcfteach. The school boy of our do)’
can demonstrate propositions hot i In
morals and science which to the wisest
of the ancients were foolishness. In our
literature the great truths of piety, to it
good degree are embodied and we have
faith that the wide dffiusion of such a
literature and its effects in qtiickening
the mortal and moral energies of the
people, will be productivelof pie liappi;
est results. In the genera en argcincu
of mind, which is now so rapidly taking
place, moulded as it is more and more liy
the genius of purity, we have st.roiig
ground for hope that lwef sl‘iall escglpc
both anarchy, the resu t o a oose pu ic
morality and the usurpations of Tyranny,
whose throne is built on ignoraiice.——
This subject, Fellow Citizens, is one of
greater moment to us than to any other
People. The true education of the peo-
ple, is the hope not of our improvement
only, but of our very existence. It stands
with us, in the place of all that makes
other Governments strong, it stands in
the place of the Establishment of the
Army and the sacred Throne-—it is the
order, and defense and power of the Na-
tion. Fitness for the responsibilities, the
perogntives, the privileges of American
Citizenship, demands the highest style
of man 3 VVhen we consider the position,
present and prospective of our Republic
among the powers of the earth, who will
deny that to be a WORTHY American Cit-
izen, is to possess the noblest attributes
of hiimanity—-an enlightenecl reason——a
heart filled with the noblest sentiments
of Patriotism——a moral nature adorned
with the purest virtues and a. personal
consecration to the cause of human free-
dom, which shall make his life a perpet-
ual offering on" its sacred altar. Let us
then beware, lest we undervalue and dc-
grade American Citizenship, by investing
too freely with its dignity and obligations,
those, who, neither by birth, education,
ancestral bonds, 0lll.i(‘.al or religious-
oympathies, are fitlied for its high and
solemn duties.‘

We are blessed also with a system of
religion, adapted with infinite wisdom to
meet all the wants of maii’s moral and im-
mortal nature, a general belief|in the
truths of which, must exert an influence
upon the character of a people, and upon
the institutions of a free Government, in-
finitely purer and more elevating than
the Mythology of the Ancients, or than
that cold nribelief, which, obliterating
from the mind of Man, every trace of a
Supreme Being and a Future State,
leaves him neither chart nor compass
with which to guide his frail bark on the
troubled Occfari of life. If 1t)liere is any
one thing, or wicli as atriols, we
should be riiost thankful, it is, that those
who first laid the foutidatiotiv of civiliza-
tion and freedom on the shores of this
American Continent, laid them amid the
offerings of a Christain faith. Yes, it
was the light of Christianity which di-
rected the Pilgrims to the eastern wilder-
fo make the rock ofPlymoutli,
 "tone of Liberty and of this
. ' Under the influence ofChris-
~-:-=- , foundations of our Institu-
tions were iaid——over them it breathed
its invincible spirit of ..freedom-—aiid
through its divine guidance, :3. political
and social structure was commenced,
whose harmonious and noble proportions

viirorous outh and is now hailed as tie

her thank her Statesman and lierVVari-iors
much, but let her thank the influence of
her Religion more. A Free Government,
without the influence of a pure religion.
never did and never can confer lasting
national happiness.

The history of not one of :'ne Repub-
lies of the Past furnishes an exception.
In Europe at the close ofthe last Centu-
ry, the experiment was directly tried,
and aside from the re'ection of christian-
ity, was tried under tire fairest auspices.
The fairest portion of Europe was select-
ed as the ample theatre of opera: ion—tlir-.

losophers—thc most experienced Gener-
als—in a word as mighty a combination
of talent .-rhaps, as the world ever saw,

-.-; Amid the fiercest, darkest,
oloodiest storms of human passion that
ever desolated the world that Republic
foll—and the only requiem sounded in its
praise, consisted in the groans of widows

hopes of freedom for an oppressed and
signing world. But we have also a
C0Mt’iMli07lal Government, which,
while it maintains, if undisturbed, in its
appropriate sphere of agency, the most
perfect political balance—a Government
founded upon a system of representation
which secures to every citizen of the Re-
public, the highest possible degree of
civil liberty. To dwell upon the immre
of our Federal Government and the ben-
efits which have already flowed from it.
would be but entering on a beaten track.
Suffice it to say that such a constitution-
al, and such a representative Govern-
ment as ours, was to the profoundest of‘
the Ancients, a mere political dream—a
brilliant chimera, existing only in the
wildest vagaries of a heated imagination.

The Late Railroad Accident.
BALTIMORE, July 7.

Up to the present time there has been
32 deaths from ehe late accident on the
Susqueliaiiiiali Railroad, and there are
three or fotir more persons in a doubtful
condition. A warrant has been issued
for the arrest of Mr. Parks \Viucliester,
the Slipf3l‘llil.ell(lElll. of the road. It is
reported that Mr. VVincliester has resign-
ed the oflice, this morning. The acci-
dent is now attributed mainly to the re-
cent removal of the former competent
and experienced President and Siiperin-
tendent, by political proscriptiori, and the
appointment of ineflicient successors, of
the right political st.ripe.

T/re Wriv'.—'l‘lie Siege of Silistria has
been raised The Russitiiis were defea-
ted bv the Turks and driven across the
Danube. _ The order of events is as fol-
lows :—Siege operalioiis were begun on
the 17th, of May, and from their to June
15th the attack and defence were carri-
ed on iricesiiaritly and with equal bravery
on both sides. Repeated storming par-
ties were directed against the ‘entrench-
irieiits—niines and counter-mines were
exploded causing iriiiucnse slaughter to
besiegers and besieged, Mussa Pacha, the
brave Turkish Cornriiaiider was killed
by a shell, after wliicli Prince Paskie-
witcli, the Russian Coiiiinarider, was
struck and disenabicd by a spent ball, and
will probably die.

Oii the l3tli of June a tremendous at-
tack was ordered uiider General Gorts-
cliakofl and Scliilders, but after severe
lighting the Russians were repulsed, and
a Turkish brigade sent from Sliunila by
Orriar P-.iclia succeeded in entering the
Fortress. Thus reiiifbrccd, the garrison
on the 15th made a sortie, and a desper-
ate liand-to hand contest eusiied and eli-
ded iii the complete discomfiture of the
Russians. Prince Gortscliakoff was se-
verely woiinded; Gen. Schildersliad his
leg shot off,’ and two other General offi-
cers were kiiled. The carnage arrioiig
the Russian troops was dreadful, and
they retreated, fighting across the river.
The Turks pursuing their adversaries,
cross an arm of the river, seized the Isle
at Hope, and blew tip the Russian siege
works tliereou. The Turks then brought
out their guns and erected temporary
batteries on the Hungarian bank of the
river, before the north face of the For-
tress. T e Russian hattallious east and
west of rlistria immediately retrreated
in good order across the river and des-
troyed their bridges behind them.

The Russians are now in the vicinity
of Kalaresch awaiting reinforcements
and order. General Leprank’s division
and several detached corps are marching
in haste from Slatina tojoin them. This
victory was gained entirely by the Turks
the French and English not having then

the fraud was made late on Monday af-

Mt‘. Morris Kctclitiiri was led by thi-
large sales ofstocks, and the tiiiiiierotis
inquiri-=s made in conseqzieuce of tliEspos-

transfer oflice of the company and iii-
quire of the book-keeper, who it was
supposed iriust be cognizant of the excel

might have been any over-issue. No
satisfaction was obtaini-d, but in the

course of Saturday Mr. Alexiiiiiler llam-

dent, brought a letter from liiiri to Mr.
Stiirges, \vliose attention was called spe.
cially therein to the stock le'tlgei'._

Upon learning this Mr. Ketcliiiui ini-
inediately closeted liimscif with the book-
keeper, and told liirii that it would save
the directors much tiriie and himself
iriiicli trotible if he would tell what llL‘

time 10,000 shares, and at various other
times between S and 0,000 slizires, allo-
