The Sun takes a part of a sentence from the Circular'' of the Harrison coiTispondini: committee, "that in votino-for Doct.

If he roes for ;,-; not p, i, triple, and Van l'uren can thereby be palmed upon the country, the oto;ii aim will then he accomplished. We recommend to the particular attention of this editor, the two follow ng paragraphs: 'The Washington Hanner, a warm licnrted Jackson paper, thus declares its intentions: 'Tie it understood then, that with the thousands of others, who claim to be the true and fast friends of republicanism, we cannot, will not, sacrifice principles for men. W hen we are called upon to yield on the altar of a man'n jnrxonal (im'-ition, the purest democratic principles even virnie itself, that Air.

FOR THE VINTF.NM.'S (iAZI ITi:. COIVIMON SCHOOL EDUCATION. No. 1 Oinrht teachers of common schools to jive instruction to their pupils on the subject of Religion.' This ijucsiiou cannot be rationally answered without first settling another point. What is the object at which the teacher i to aim? Is it merely to pronouti'-e words and make letters and liures. and recite the sentences of their books? or, is it to understand the meaniii"- and aooor'-oi.oi of what they find in book-? Let this point be duly regarded, and little difference would be found in the views of candid and intelligent persons. I shall not at present arctic the point, but assume for prantei!, that the teacher should aim to render his pupils able to make tin intelligent a.nd benetieial use of what tin y find in books. Should this be uemeil, J wotiid reason with the ol.iei-iio-In reply, then to the iirst question. J say that teachers cannot instruct their pu pils m tun meaning ot lauu:iLre so as to renoc r tnem able to read their hooks. ::nl pursue their studies with an undcrstandm.r of the subjects, without at the same time ifivmir them mlormation on matters of religion. No book of readintr lessons, no book of treography, no book of history, is put into the scholar's hands, but i will require information on religious mat ters to render its sense fully understood. This information must be communicated in laurntaire, not of an unintelli-iiile disregarded hook, but in the plain, familiar, impressive tones of the living voice. Explanations, thuscien, will become radical r-ourees of opinions on the subject, even ihouoh the teacher should wish them to be inoperative. Teachers, then, must speak of reliom in the course of their instructions. In what lijlit shall they present it? As a matter of mere delusion, error or fraud? As an tn. ire matter of uncertainty as to what is true and of little consequence as to w hat is adopted.' or as a matter having a i tile of authority in the Bible for its foundation? For the notion that teachers wit! or can instruct, and yet produce no impression on the views of pupils, is vain, and too absurd to require more than a little rellection to dissipate it. I shall, at this time", r; m irk otl the last only of the above alternatives:. If any one should challenge discussion on the subject, 1 will join in an invest Ration to its full extent. In re(rarditir and representinir the Bible as the standard of re!ieious truth, teachers accord with most of the books used Ivy the pupils, and the declarations of the majority of their parents and ctiartiians. And. certainly, teachers who realize that their business is to tit youth loraetiiiir in the connnui.ity of which they an members, will esteem it a happiness to be able to concur with theener:d voice. To them it js pif,d to be obliged to contradict the ir.'iieral expre-sieei of public opinion. It u a difficult thine to

(cure the regard aiid respect f outh tor

society, mm at the same time teach them to dissent from its maxims, opinions, or customs. The elementary items of chronology, history and geoirraphy are drawn from the bible in a considerable part. The foundations ot law are laid in principles draw ti in a jircat part from the Bible. The! most extensively acknowledged principles of equity, prudence and philanthropy, if not drawn from the Bible, as is almost certain, tire loreimy illustrated ami con firmed, and often corrected in form or application, by the Bible. Who has successfully attempted either to controvert or amend the Bible system of morals? And shall those w ho open, cultivate and store the mind of youth, be prohibited from usiiiLT die treasures of this richest of all literary repositories? Take another iew. A proper course of instruction will lead pupils to trace various ela.sses of objects and pursuits around them to the several kingdoms of nature, and to the common, know n course or law s of nature. When they have been accustomed to perceive canst; and eifeet and desitru in all the busy scene of human and animal life, thev will not stop at the boundaries of the kingdoms of the natural world. Teai hers must meet the question of the origin of the world, and of the oovernment or regulation of the world. W oitld any one propose to conceal the distinction between mind and matter, soul and body? if not, something must be said respectinjr the sjiirit or mind after the dissolution of the' body. And to what else but the Bible can they refer on these subjects? Teachers cannot avoid the subject of religion. It is doubtless proper for them to u-'c Bible truths. But it is not necessary nor is it benetieial, for teachers to be partialis of a sect. Those matters which Vouth :diou!d be early taujrht, are, almost without exception, held unanimously by all w bo hold the Bible to bo true. in illustrating the accounts of the rid iitton of the world presented to pupils in their books, judicious teachers wili show, not only the did'erence between the religion of the Bible and that of Pagans and Mohameda.ns, but also the cround that is hehl in common, and how. by comparison, both the superiority and truth of the Bible system is easily seen. And, in remarks on the accounts of denominations of Chris tians, Ihc rial arteiten in most things that irariea'li ah'evt eiiduet (;, chunteltr: il oetttally osikI.s in the views of the sects, he. dwelt upon. While the fact that many did'crewcs are merely nominal, that many are unessential to life and codliness, :md that many are not concernin'': Bible truths, will he used to show that die distinctions among j:."d men are no proof the Bible is not it plain jnidc foi practical life. The fact that men diner in theories ami explanations and names in all other matters, should be used in illustration to lead to just views of the distinctions anions professors of re!i::iou. Some of these topics are, to be sure, not suitable for the youncest pupils: the remarks and positions in this article tire in reference to the whole course of traininir which youth ire:n ral!y receive from the teachers of oar schools. LOCK. r OR Tint VINCKXNKS CAZltTTK. t::e late senatorial ELECTicr-; Mr. ('aldington: I send vou herewith a rarbled publication ot' a batter, prin'ed in theothce of the 'Western Sun,'' ami circulated in Daviess county; to prejudice voters previous to the late election also the letter as it was written, by Mr. English. Tiie imposition had some effect at the polls, and it now merits exposure to iruard the people against such arts hereafter. The publication reads as follows: To niosi: crnzi;s oi Daviess rorvrv, vho feci intcrcital. in I lie Canal. July '23th, IScSO. .Vr.

He said that he h id no objection to the present location of the Canal in Daviess county, thmizh lie xai.l. that instead of taking the Canal Ut Evansville it would cost half a million of dollars less to take it down the valley ef the Wabash (throutth Posey count v) tt if it could lie ascertained to be a fact, he (Mr. Judah) could see no impropriety why it should not ,ro on the cheapest route, tvr. M c are w ith respect, yours. V'c. A LE.V'ii ENCLISH, TIBS. ENCLiSIL l oti will, on comparison wih the original, see, that the words "thonoh ho1 said," (which I desire you to italicise)! should read as iti the letter, "though it was said by some." The change was no! doubt intended to implicate Mr. Judah1 falsely, in the opinions ofothers; and the omission, after "the valley of the Wabash," of the words in the lett-T "through Posey couniy," fives r.n injurious, if not highly criminal aspect to the imposition. This exposure, with the original of Mr. English's letter, is sent to you, that false impressions may net prevail in regard to the result of the 1 ale election. I fear that wronT impressions may a-aiu be made, to impose upon many: and truth should now : a'uoad. to save the country from a cor-' nipt combination of office holders. The 'caucus" influence should be counteracted in every eptarter, or our free government w ill soon be swallowed up in the bottom-; less gulf of party imposture, still yawning to delude the heedless. Only kt "Hurri-I
