Ladies and Gentlemen,.W e hare assembled this evening for the improvementot the Common School.a school tl.at we call

common; not aa inferior; not as the school for poormen's children; but as the 1 ght and ihs air arecommon. And what is common to all, should bethe be«t of all. IV* have met under those per-vadnig, though, perhaps, uut xpressed convictions,that without incessant watchtulness.without auunsleeping eve for ever over public lnaiitu ion«,ther becomepike wastes,'and enrnmoni-open ap;aren.Ijto all, productive of benefit to cene We havecome together, uut to say whether a rail oad shallbe made from this to sMiie other place, nor whetherone of yoar citizens shall be elected to some office;no, we have met to advance the best good of tomorrow'ssociety.for children are to morrow's society.Our object is to ask your ater.tion to theinfiaiie worth ot this inward bring-this immortalThought.this boundless Capacity. Epietetuswaswont to say, that '« it wns much better for a peopleto meet, to see how tbey might elevate the soals oi°the,r citizens than the roofs of their houses." Itis for this better purpose that we have eonveued.And, before 1 proceed further, 1 will requestthe privilege of being familiar and conversationalin my manner this evening. It is my wishto use the colloquial style, for I have found that ifmake men feel this susj-ot.if I ma'te them talkabout it when they go home, and net for it hereafter,1 mutt talk to ttaeiu while they sro with me.u aman talk* to a man, a* a lawyer talk* to hi* jury.In explanation of my object, it'yon will permit meto bringintconj motion two (treat names,1 will repeatthat beautiful and forcible criiicisiu of Longiau*,onthe manner and effect ef the speeking of Cicero andDemontheces.

The friends of education are apt toexpectje very thing from the goodness of their cans#and therefore do hat lit.lc tor it themselves. Yes,the cause of the people's education is so good.sovery good.so undeniably good.that but very fewcare any thing for it. Yet each one has not only apublic, hnt a private interest in the subject. Hethat attends to his interior self, th t has a heart an Jkeeps|it, a mind that hungers, and suppliesit; whoseeks a useful, not a worthless life, has a deep interestin the subject of education; for he it somethingless than a man who does not daily educatehimself to the utmost "And who woufa supposethat education weie a thing which had to be auvac«tcdon the groued of individual or national good;o*, indeed, on any groundl Ae it it s>ood not onthe basis of everlasting duty.a prime necessityand birthright of man It is a thing that shouldneed no advocating, as mach as it does actuallyneed. To imparl the gift of thinking to those whocannot think, and yet have the capacity for thought,one would imagine, was the very fiist function ofa government to discharge. Would it not be a cruelthing to see the inhabitant* oi this eity, living ailmutilated in their limbs, each strong man with hieright arm brokenl How much more so, to find thestrong soul, with its eyes still sealed, its pulse gone,o that it beate not, trebs not. Light hat come into

this world, hut to the ignorant soul it bae come invain. For six thousand years the sons of Ydam, insleepless effort have been devising, doing, discovering.warring,a little bend of brothers, againsttha empire of night. And tbejr have made a nobleconquest. But to tbis man, it is all as if it had notbeen. The thoughts that millions of intellectshave lived by, and that now live on, in everlastingmusic, come not to him. He paeeee by on the otheraide.that rich mental kingdom, tha toil worn conquestof bis own brothers, is a boon not for him.an invisible empire.be knows it not. Who wouldthink it to be necesaary to advocate an educationfor such a brotherT' It is encouraging ta aaethieindifference to man's higher noble nature fast passingaway. Europe is covering herself with Comiiiun ocnouii, ana mrones are ia a contest to enlightenignorance The naoat perfect schoolsystem in the world, is that an psraaWlly foetared bj the despotic king of Prnssia. So perfect,in theory and practice, is this Prussian system, thatit educates every child in the kingdom. Three ofits most striking aud peculiar features are worthyof a short notice irom us. And first, whatever relatesto the system has impressed upon it the highestreapeet. The Minister of Public Instruction isselected for his high attainments andAalente, and herauks in station next to the king. Secondly, theteache;s are educated for their profession. Mo manis a'loryed to teach a school, until he has studiedthe "Art of Teaching," and intends to make thecalling his profession for life. Prnssia haa fortytwoNormal schools or seminaries to educateschool teachers. These two features we shouldborrow; for the glory of a people does not consist innever borrowing any thing, bat in perfecting everything they borrow. The third feature we, perhaps,could not introduce. You will say that its compulsory nature irtoutrary to our feelings and to thespirit af our institation If the Prnasian parentsrsltcti to send hi.* children to school, the policeolticer takes him ta pri on, and the children toschool. Wc might improve a little on this, andtake the parent to school also.(laughter).for sneha citizen needs as much instruction as the children.Many have said to me," " the state has no rightto compel par< nU to send their children to school."What! bait the state a right to send a man to thegallows and.no right to send him to school 1 Shallthe state be known only as the jailor, the executioner,and not the educator'! 1 say the Statenu adfortreeaaa, bat 50,000 Coaamoa 8ckaola !

Their united instruction hasmade us a great people ; may their infinences beimpeiishable. (Cheering applause) I have tables,^KDiaineu uy invent!)? in sixteen ui me Mate*, anafio n a close investigation for the last eleven years)which prove, that from a I those taught to read inthis conn ry, nineteen out of twenty, receive alltheir instruction in the|Coranion Seliotls. Thisimportant information shows us that, as is the Co cornon School, so is the education of the people Thee lunation of the American people, taken as a whole,is just what the Common Schools are prepared togive. How many in this large assembly have ree-ivcd any other education than that from the CommonSchools ! If these schools had been better,the education would have been better Althoughall here have been inapioved by education, everyone of reflection is conscious, when he beginsto reason and compare, of many defeats in hismental powrrs, and many ineonveuient andembarrassing habits, which wight have beenpreveo'ed, or remtdied, by a better early education.Yet (he Co:nmou Seh ols, whatever maybe their condition, teach the nation, 'fheseschools'edueate the farmers, they educate the mechanics,the merchants, thelegislator.-,the mothers.They ate the people's colleges.ihe sun of ihe people'smind.lamps of freedom, lit up all over thislaud to pour tucir light upon our institutions.

Gentlemen, as 1 hare pa ted through thiscity, I have said we may pile our hill tops withGrei ian architecture, but let the plain schoolhouse go down and where u our foundation..(Strong applause ) If the time shall ever comewhen this great government will totter, the causewill be found iu tne ignorance of th< people. "Andthe people per th for lack ofknowledge." I willnow ask your attention to the connection betweenCommon Schools and the higher literary institutions.academies,colleges and professional seminaries.If the children all over the land, in theirfirst sehoels can receive a love of knowledge.adesire for a higher improvement.if thsy can inthese first steps in knowledge, find their studiestheir delight, if they shall associate with the improvementof their minds every thing that is agreeable,they wi'l go from the Common School to thencademy,and from the academy .to the college andprofessional seminary ; poverty nor parents csnnotkeep them down. And thus will the CommonSchool give the college its heat support. But letthe Common Schools remain neglected ; let thechildren in them learn to cipher to the Rule erthat(lay t-hall arrive, the firat maxim that nc shall establishwill be, it i* cheaper to edacote the infxntmind, than to svppnrt the aged criminal. (An.plume Ion* repeated.) Give your pence to comnon school* and save your pounds on prison- No,net sare your pounds, but write over yourprison doors."To Let !" Man was not madeto be sent to p-isoa, but to be educated ;and as John Wilkes said, " tho very w«r*tuse yon can pat a man to is te hang him."(Great laughter ) Punishment to prevent crime,gentlemen! it comes like the physician'.- preserip.lion at the funeral, too late (Renewed laughter )Treads-mills to prevent crime! Why, the treadmillonly fatigues the museles; crime springs fromweak moral faeaities and overactive propensities.Would yon use an argument to turn over a rosk, ora crow bar to convince a maul (General laughter )Hut it is our duty to educate a democracy.to warmits faith.to elevate its hope.to purify its moralsand to direet its energies. This is our high andsacred oftiee. Yet how slightly have we consider-ed lhis subject, uh-n, every where it is held to bethe first and legitimate duty efthe State to pros idejudges and hangmen for the people. It is a duty toprovide the prison, the fetter, and the gallows. Itis the duty of the State to destroy human beings,living minds that bear the impress of ihe divineworkmanship, however tarnished ; und wor.-e thanthis, it is held as a duty for the Slate to immute burnin beings in dungeons, to deprive them of the objectsof the external world, and of God's creation ;to create for them a living death, to tmn the mindinto a b auk, and throw the warm gushing* of humanfeelings, and nymnathies, and affection*, backinto a fearful chaos. It is the duty of the State topunish er.me, to send forth fearlul retribution tothose who break the law. But hitherto the halfcivilization of Congre**, and the semi-barbarism ofthe State Legislatures. (laughter)- and the divineright of demagogues have not thought it a duty toprovide for the people, protended to be governed,the means of religious and intellectual advancement,to enable them to know and understandtheii duties as regards this life and the lifeto come. Compelled to obey laws which theysearcely ever heard of, the necessity for whichthey cannot see, and yet not allowed'to plead ignoranceof those laws, the poor ignorant lawbreakeris held up to ihe law's viadictivencss andtho bitter retribution of his fellows. The law issevere to punish crimes; it can kill the poor offendingwruteh. and send him before his Maker when itpleas' a. Powciful but impotent law, it judges ofthe act, it thinks that it knows the motive thatlrdto it; but hera it atops and here it fails. It can punish,and in the very zeal of thissaered power, almosttoo awful to be placed in human hands, itpunishes daily; but how inefficient arc its pun.lahmenls.

But this i* not only expensive andruinous, it is ctuelty, for we, by neglecting thechild, produce vice, and then punish it; erect gallows,and then supply them with victim*. Themore we reflect upon the connection between crimeand blind heedless ignorance, the more we ahullbe convinced that thire is no true eradic.tor ofcrime, but a well principled educition. Penalcodes, active police, poor houses on the most liberalscale, are all but substitutes and palliatives.Theeye of the law is not all seeing; the mostactivelegislation cannot be at all times, and in allplaces, with the people.
