The Committee, in examining into these top'cs, begins with an inquiry into the question, ‘* What is Education ?” And after a few paragraphs, they ar- tive at the definition that “Education is—what those should have in view who attempt to write or legis- late upon this great subject!” Such is the Com- mittee’s definition of education, and the Commit- tee gravely declare that this is a definition of “ edu- cation,” as they affirm, “ in the proper sense of the sary to the formation of ¢ truly manly and virtuous character—all that is necessary to disperse the dark. ness in which the venal, the ambitious, the desi ing, would enshroud the minds of men—all that is necessary to constitute the character of a freeman.” | definition itself, though put forth by a Committee | on Education, seems not quite so comprehensive as it is here alleged to be; indeed one feels at a loss to understand what it defines, or even what it means. If education is a something which certain persons should have in view, it were very desirable to know what that something is. This, however, the Committee have passed over, sub silentio ; and | as thie definition of education comes from the col- lective wisdom of the State, in answer to the so- | lemn inquiry, ‘“‘ What is education?” we must take it to be (as the Committee indeed say it 18) the broadest and fullest, and. best definition that has ever yet been given to the word. The Committee, after this, go on to show whata | wretched, miserable education our ancestors re- | ceived under their collegiate and academical system | of education, and this is shown by a single quota- | tion from a writer whom the Committee call ‘an | able American writer’—the very sentences ot | whom, which the Committee have quoted, being State, have lately been to Albany, praying tor | a reform in the present common school sys- | These petitions were referred by the Assembly to a select committee, who, after word, in the broad and full acceptation of the term | —intellectual and moral, including all that is neces- | This is strong praise of the definition, while the | ever had. Importations would be checked more by the increased value of our currency, than by a high rate of duty. Weshould labor under none of those disadvantages that we now experience in our trade with foreign countries, resulting from the great dif- ference in the value of the currency, which is at present in favor of every nation we have any exten- sive commercial intercourse with. We have, hereto- fore, paid for our foreign importations at paper prices, and have received pay for our exports at specie prices, and have consequently had difficulties to con- tend with on both sides. The abundance of paper money has so depreciated the currency, that the | cost of producing, both manufactured and agn- cultural products, has been regulated upon the paper standard, and we have had to contend in our own markets with similar articles produced in foreign countries under a specie currency, at a cost regula- ted upon the specie standard. The difference in | the expense of producing the same article—whether of the soil or of the loom—under the two currencies, has been greaterin many instances, than the dif- ference between what may be considered a revenue duty and a protective duty. A duty of forty-four percent upon the woollen | magnetic telegraphs, and will hereafter, to a great | mere bombast and idle verbiage, are enough, of | extent, be dependent upon them.

The Committee conclude their turgid report and enquiries, ‘‘de omnibus rebus et quibusdam alus,” with the following preamble and resolutions :— i This express business is a creation of modem | times, and, as is almost always the case in new and | useful improvements, was established by a Yankee. | id * . > * . e | We have frequently alluded to the benefits thet | ant eereee n eeu ep ed yprediebe | are <a to arise from the magnetic telegraph, | bart if Sellars igs wee ation & committee ap- jut we believe we have omitted to mention one | Pointed to enquire into their utility for this purpose, res . | ted that ‘Tae ril connected | which is an important one, as long as our foreign sate means of training teachers is, that aay one | relations remain in an unsettled state.

The manufacturers of Europe | can compete more successfully with those of this | country, under a high tariff and an expanded paper circulation, than under a low tariff and a specie | currency. Asa confirmation of this statement, it is | only necessary to allude to the fact, that the manu- | facturers of Great Britain have at all times used all their influence to sustain in this country the most | extensive banking systems, and have through their | agents, been powerful advocates of a national bank. | They are well aware that an expanded paper cir- | culation is more for their interest than anything | else. i The re-establishment of the sub-treasury law | strikes at the root of the evils we have so long | experienced in our foreign trade. It will do away with all those abstract principles in relation to pro- tection, and the operation of a high tariff, which have been such prominent elements in our political campaigns. The sub-treasury and a revenue tariff must be connected—the adoption of one without the other, will only create confusion in our com- mercial system. A twenty per cent tariff, with a specie currency, will give more protection to every species of manufacturing, than they ever yet en- joyed; the only fears we have are, that a further reduction in the tariff willbe required—a reduction to an average less than twenty per cent—to give the government a revenue large enough to meet ordi- nary current expenditures. A specie currency will restrict importations much more than many have the slightest idea of. Tue Carrrai. or mam State —The subject of | the removal of the capital, which has been discussed for a long time in all the papers of | Western New York, was some time since refer- | red by the Legislature to a select committee, fora | report thereon. The committee say, that should it | be decided upon to remove the capital, that Syra- cuse of Utica isthe best and most advantageous place to have it located. There has been a great controversy between the citizens o/these two places for the honor, and the recommendations of the | committee will settle it in the best manner possible. | The plan recommended by the committee, 1s to submit, in the first place, the question of removal, to | the people at the next general election; and second. | ly, it it be decided that there must bea removal, then, whether Utica or Syracuse 18 to have the ho- not. Thisis certainly the best plan that could be | suggested, and we trust it will satisfy the citizens of both these places. For our own part, we think it quite immaterial whether the capital be removed or not, for in these days of steamboats, railroads, and magnetic telegraphs, fifty or a hundred miles ean be easily travelled over, without much incon- venience. We admire, however, the plan suggest- ed, for it is in keeping with the spirit of our institu- tions to submit every question of a general nature like this, to the yadgment of the people at large. A decision acquired in this way, cannot fail of being satisfactory to all parties. | Tux Fassuers.—The accounts of the disastrous freshets in Maine continue to pour in upon us. I is supposed that the aggregate loss in that State | will be over one million of dollars. According to the Mayor of Bangor, the loss at that place will amount to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. ‘Two millions of dollars in property, have probably been lost in all parte of this country, by the recent freshets.
