THE FARMER.

The following p uagraphs accoid so well with our sentiments that we can do no more than give them a cordial recommendation: But our fanners ought, beyond all question, to be liberally educated ; that is, they ought to have the best education that is attainable. I do not say that every farmer oa-ht to go to college, or to become piofn ient in Greek or Latin. I speak cf them as a clas-; and by a liberal education I mean such, a course cf intellectual discipline as will tU them to sustain the rank which ihev to hold m lias repablic. They are bv risht the sovereigns of the land, because "they constitue an overwhelming majoiity. Why do (hey not then, in fact, rule 'the land.' Because, and only because they are too ignorant. And thus they s; 'c into comparative insignificance: and T-r themselves to be used as the ni. instruments of creating their own mum d's, who care as little for (heir welfaie as if they were born to he beast of burden. Were it possible, I would visit every farmer in Tennessee, w in. is not already awake, and endeavor to arouse him from his fatal lethargy, by every consideration which can render life and liberty desirable: and urge him to reclaim his abandoned rights and his lost dignitv, by giving to his sons that measure of instruction which will qualify them toa-sert and to maintain just superiority in the councils ofthe state and of the nation, like men proudly con ecious of their intellectual as well as physical power. The same general remarks apply to mechanics and to all the laboring classes in pronoition to their numbers. An education, even of the highest or der, may lie as valuable to them as to others. In our free country, a farmer or mechanic, with equal talents and intelligence, would be more likely to become a popular ftvorite, than either a lawyer, or the well bred heirof an opulent patrician family. Suppose a farcould speak as well, write as well, appear as well versed in history, geography, statistics, jui isprudence, polities and other matters of general and local interest, as the lawyer would he not stand a better chance of beimr. elevated to the highest, most honorable, and most lucrative ofiices? The grand heresy on the subject of education seems to have aiisen from the usage which obtained at an early period in modern European society, and which many centuries have sanctioned and confirmed namely: that a learned or liberal education was, and is deemed important only for a liberal profession, or for gentlemen of leisure. Hence the church, the bar, and the medical art, have nearly mor.oplizrd the learning of the woild. O ir people reason and act in accordance with the same absurd and aristocratic sys'em. The cui bono is upon every lui.jue. MYhatoo ,"' it is asked, ""will , . Ile.ro learning do my son? Me is to he a farmer, a mechanic, a merchant." Now I would answer such a question, in the first place, directly thus: "A college education, or the best, most thorough, aiid most extensive education that can he acquired, will he of im mense benefit to your son, shrmlv as a larmer, mechanic, mere: u turer, sailor or soldier." patiently endeavor t -and in what respects; tempt to illustrate sue i t: ent. But in the sec;-,-. s : reply to my plain frit : .i inuiac1 would un how, 'I notatH pres. r ry thus: JvJucate oa. -manner possible, because y-u , xpect him to be a max, and not a horse or an ox. You cannot tell what good he may achieve, or what important ofiices he may discharge in his day : for auirht you know, he may, if you do your duty In him, become the president of the United States. At any rate, he has reason and understanding, which ought to be cultivated for their own sake." Should he eventually live in the most humble retirement, and subsist by the hardest manual labor, still he ,;,y enjoy an occasional intellectual feast of the purest and most exhilarating kind. If all our laboring fellow citizens could relish hrr.L-j ....! . I I II . . -v,r ,,u -nuiim n,ie access to mem. what a boundless field of innocent recreation and profitable entertainment would not be always at hand and within their reach? What a flood of cheering happiness would not he shed upon the dark path, and poured into the Litter cup of miih .sol' rational, immortal beings, who at pi nt rank but little above the brut.' i,i . ir pursuits, habits, and enjoyments .' In reference to elementary education, a parent ought never to inquire what a child is ( he whether a farmerer a lawyer but should educate hurt in the best manner practicable, and endeaver to inspire him with sentiments.

of virtue and independence, which

would preserve him Imm the vulgar pride of being ashamed to earn his living by honest industry. Besides, learning is itself a treasure an estate -of which no adverse lortunecan ever deprive its possessor. It will accom pany, and console, and support him to the Voi Id's end, and to the close of life. Our farmers and laboringclasseshave as much leisure for miscellaneous reading and study, as the professional or even as the wealthy or fashionable idlers who do nothing. Paradoxical as this may seem, it is notoriously the fact. Even in England where this leisure is not half so gicat as the poorest of our people habitually enjoy, it has been dieovercd that the most ignorant and debased and hard-worked manufacturing operatives have abundant time for much intellectual cultivation. Stoi the Pic vcrtisement in We notice an adtn exchange paper, wherein one Mr. Pig speaks of his wife's having eloped from his bed and boaid. We sincerely hope Mrs. Pig w ill iro back to her liege lord, and make the sty comfortable for the old gruntcr and the iitle poi kers. When a wo man marries (a hog) she ought to make up her mind to go the entire swine. A steam doctor, in a North Carolina paper, boasts that he has discovered a system by which he can make out of an old viuii an entire young man, and have enough left to make a small dog! 'Mother," said a little grammarian, 'if Lord Wellington is a heroe, was not Joan of Arc a she roe? A hypocrite is always a knave in his own e) cs, though he may appear an honest man in the eyes of others. Why is a tallov chandler the most vicious and unfortunate of men ? Ans. All Ins woiks are icick-ed, and all his wicked woiks are brought to light. Self conceit is a standing pool which exhibits other men to the eye, not only below us, but completely inverted.
