Saturday Morning March Iff. UUCrLVTIXG LIBRARY. Mr. Coolidge, as agent for the proprietor, has been several days in the village soliciting subscription for "Chanliing1 Circulating Library ;" and judging from the success he has already had. we are inclined to believe that but few of our citizens will suffer so favorable an opportunity for securing so valuable a treasuie to be Iot. The plan adopted by Mr. Channing for the dissemination of knowledge i? eettainly, in our opinion, a good one, inasmuch as the reader can under his system have access to a more extensive and multiform field of matter than in any other way, for the same price. The Circulating Library will be open to subscribers in the course of two or three weeks. Those who are fond of reading would do well to call at this oflke and examine the Prosppctus, and leave their name in time to have the amount of their subscription reported to the proprietor before the books are forwarded; as by so doing the) will secure a greater number of volume?. A flood of original matter coming in upon us this week, we have set off another page of our paper for the accomodation of correspondents. We arc authorized to announce Mr. Alexander H. Dill of Law renceburg. as a candidate for the office of Sheriff at the ensuing Augu-t election.

Please announce Horrace Bassktt. E,j. as a candidate to icpresent this County in the Slate Senate. MANY VOTERS. The Editors of the Palladium and Statesman at L awrenceburgh, are icQuested lo anno'ince the above.

We are requested toai eounce Capt. John Wevveu as a candidate for the office of Sheriff at the next general election.

It is a fact attested by long experience, that no theory however correct in its principles and applicable in its adaption, can supercede the necessity of practical lessons, and that notwithstanding the best rules that can be given on any ail or science, it is the practical lesson alone that give accompliyhmetit to the learner. Rules are given to save the trouble and expense of invention to the leal ner. Invention is (he off-pring of geninj and ever ri-cs above tiicoiw and consequently leaves learning laboring after it. If these principles are correct, both rules and practice are in dispensible to the learner in English grammar ; otherwise, he should dispense with both rules and practice and trust to his good sense, according to Mr. S.. for grammatical accuracy, correctness and propriety, and every learner become the inventor of his own sv-tem. guided only by the initnitoble laws of nature on which his system i founded. In order for a learner to become a good practical and philosophical grammarian, it is admitted by the best philologies, that much depends upon the exercise of his own judgment notwithstanding the aid of the best rules and the attention of the living instructor. But if, in a few cases, men of peculiar genius have acquired the art of using language correctly, both in speaking at d writing, without the aid of grammar rules, both reason ami experience teach us that it should not be adopted as a genetal rule for the acquisition of that ait. It i well known that of the many self-taught, (public speakers especially.) not one of an hundred and perhaps of a thousand ever attain to gram
