4. The swamp lands. ' 5. The bankruptcy of the treasury. G. Kansas. 7. Tho Saut Ste. Mario Canal. 8. A communication from the Judges of the Suprema Court ßuggcsiing certain amendments to the statutes. By tho term3 of tho Constitution only those matters un bo legislated upon which are expressly stated in tho Governors proclamation. A little more than a 3eara';o the treasn-
j ry of Michigan was replete with tho need
ful. It was in fact made a matter of justi
fiable State-pride; now, that State isv erging
on bankruptcy. The cause is obvious.
Last session largo donations were made to tho "Kansas Aid Fund," and other like reckless squandering was the order of the day. Such is Republican rule. Tho peoplo will act upon this hint at tho next general election in that State.
"Etlucatiou ol the Laboring Classes." Not many years ago. and in some couoA tries of the old world even at this present day, it is not thot.jht desirable, nor even practicable that all classes of the human
fimilv should bo educated. A few of the
elect, destined for the "Learned Professions,' were favored with what might be
called a "liberal education," further than
this, the nation bad no concern. Happily
fjr the huma n rf.ee, this barbarous idea of
5i btrbarnnq nrrrt has Yielded to the liht of
" 0 j o Taason, and tho enfranchisement of mind, marked a new era in the history of men. Liko tho development of the principle of personal freedom, this was another grand step in tho progress of humanity. It has now so tsr chained strength, that there is a spirit of honorable contention among countries of the highest civilization as to what is thobost method of effecting this object.' Tao wisost and bost of earth have given
their liv33 to. tho study of the subject, and :lofi but little for tho ordinary thinker to develop now or startling. In common phrase, "it i3 worn threadbare," and all who approach it, doit with tho trepidation of forbidden ground. Not so, however,
with tho P.v. Mr. Barrett, to whose highly edifying and pleasing lecture on this top ic we listened to a few evenings since. Ha handles his subject in an able manner, developing new ideas, and making the veriest common placo new and attractivo by the flashes of hi own fair gcniu3. There is a witching graco and quiet boauty about .Li3 style, that first enlifls the attention, and then holds it. It was easy to perceive that ho was in earnest about what ho was speaking, as every man should be in earnest on a subject o such vital importance. The "Common School," which Mr. Bar
rett very eloquently and trail calls the "anchor of hope lo tho world," was organized to this end. So far it lias done noble service, and would seem to point lo the fi
nal triumph of mind over the dark armies . of ignorance. But beforo thi3 happy state
of thin3 shall have been accomplished, it
will be necessary that the "dignity of labor"
which 13 oftener quoted than felt, shall
have been (successfully vindicated. Labor is the basis of all wealth, intelli
ence and power. It i3 a condition of life
Divinclr irarosed, "in the sweat' cf thy
;tTf halt thou eat bread all the days of
tliy Vfc ism edict noDe can escape. Hoy; v?he, linn, that man should give dig
nitj to that vrhich has earned everything
for him, that he should respect, and seek
to elevate all, who thus labor for his comfort and well-being; whether like Phidias, he gives the cold marble life and beauty, or,5 like Angelo, embodies a nation's religion in one grand, magnificent temple, or whether, with pick and spade , he tunnels our mountains, and digs our coal. Educate the working classes then, if you would give to labor its true dignity, und make that labor most productive. Physical strength without skill and intelligence is an unprofitable agent: but with the two united the most productive results are secured. To effect this end let the common school ; and all its branches, organized in tho most perfect manner, be everywhere established and supported. Let such laborers as Mr. Barrett, who give themselves earnestly to the work, bo liberally paid. Teaching by lectures is of rather late origin, bat it ha3 already gained a high character as an 'efficient mode of instructing the masses. "Wc are also glad to know that there is such a thing in our village a a "Working Men's Association" and Library. This is anoth
er step towards the great work of "Educa
ting the Laboring Classes."
j5TTh Legislature of Michigan, con
vened by Gov. Bingham, is now in extra
session. . The matters presented to them for legis ation are as follows:
1. The land grants of Congress in aid of
the construction of certain railroads in this

2. Reconstruction ' of the judicial cir

3. The creation of a new judicial circuit.

Uoston. Single Copy 83; Five Coj)ies, 810 in Advance. We have received tho Feb. No. of the Atlantic Monthly, as it is wont it is filled with the choicest, classical reading matter, under the following heads: Tho Great Failure, The Busts of Goethe and Schiller,
The Librarian's Story, Daylight and Moonlight, Something about Pictures, Cretins and Idiots, Amours de Votare, My Aquarium, The Queen of the Red Chess men, Daybreak, Tea, The Old Burying-Ground, The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table, Granger, A Tiffin of Paragraphs, The Relief of Lcknow, Now England Ministen, A Brief Review of the Kansas Usurpation, Sonnet, Art, &c. This distinguished Monthly was for a long time regarded by some as an experiment. It was not thought possible that an enterprise of such enormous outlay could bo successful. The daj's ef such thinking are past now,and its success i3 estab
lished beyond contingency. Regardless of expense, the Publishers hare secured tho best and greatest variety of talent our country could afford, and have succeeded
in making the Monthly, what they desired it should De, "a disideratum in American
etters." Every cultivated person should lave it.
jJSTTiiERE has been a call for a Mass

among the signers to this call, some of our

tnotism ot their motives: out wun our
present fund of information, we are una
ble tc understand either the real object, or the benfit that is going to grow out of thi3.
As to tho resolutions of the late State Con
vention, we fail to see anything very offen
sive in them, on the contrary, they declare
in language most plaii theso principles of
popular sovereignty which every true Dem
ocrat is pledged to sustain

CT Speakma of tho action of Com. Pauldincr.
the Philadelphia Americau says:
Commodore Pauldincr's act is not without some
show o precedent. Commodore Porter invaded
fcpanish territory to suppress a horde of pirates, really little worse than .Walker's. Gen. Jackson pursued hostile Indians into the limits of a foreign
colony. Both were blamed on formal grounds. Porter was most unjustly punished,- but both had the h artjr approval of the county. . So has Paulding. With the points of analogy, töwever, there areabo marked points of difference. The party objecting to Commodore Porter's landing was the
government whose territory he technically violated No snch ccmplaintcan be apprehended from Cetral America; but, on the contrary, the hearty thanks of the Walker haunted country may reasonably be counted upon. - " . t DEED.On Sunday night, ', last,; at his residence in German Township, of congestive fever, Alexander Carr, aged, 67.
