Our neighbor is whistling to keep up the courage of the .spoilsmen very preposterously, when he claims Louisiana. Van Iniren has no chance in that state, ami he should know the delusion is silly. Of 3 members elected to Congress, two arc avowedly hostile to "the party'' and the other (like our state Senator and county Representative) promised to be guided in his course by the presidential vote of his constituents however he might individually vote at home. Can the Western Sun deny this.' The follow ing extract from Judge White's replv to a committee of the Legislature of Tennessee (w ho it is well known, w as one of Jackson's early and influential vouchers) points distinctly to the Van liuren pr.rtv; or as the1 Judge calls them. faction. There is no man better acquainted with .'he Van Uurcn springs of action, and the "spoils party organization, than Judge While. This is the picture he gives of the leaders: "From the formation of the federal constitution tip to this time, there have been parties in the I uited Slates; when they are separated upon principle, each may honestly believe the pernianein wclfa.eof the country depends upon Inning the govnunn!'.t administered upon puiK ip es which they a.hocate. and may honorahiy use every fair ell'ort to elevate their own party and put dow n their opponents.

I have ventured to give vou my impressions in relation io a reeen: saleof lots in the place from which I datthis communication. On my return from the northern part of the State of Indiana, business led nie in the vicinity of the place of sale, immediately before it took place, and curiosity, more than a desire to speculate, induced me to attend it. I lound a large number of highly respectable individuals, from the States of Illinois and Indiana, and a few also from Kentucky, assembled on the ground. The bidding, from the eomn.'euccmenUo the close, v as lively and animated, and the xcal of purchasers to procure lots, never abated for 8 moment. F-vea when it was announced that the sale w as closed, a strong desire on their part, was manifested to proceed with the sales. The day wa Saturday, and consequently they could not be continued.

Thimtw o lots w ere sold for nearly ii e thousand dollars making the average price of each !ol about One Hundred and Fifty dollars. I ni'i under the impression that this has n il been equalled in a primary sale of lots m any ullage on the same river. The situation of the town is one of the most Vaunlul that I have ever mm. From almost every bit von have a commanding and e-.t'.'tisive view of the river. Stand tig on one of them, I surveyed, w ith tin pl-'usure which a tine water scenery never fails t inspire, that most beautiful of all the larger streams of the west, as il came roiling along, clear and serene forming a beautiful crescent, for a half a mile above the town; the w hole of w hich is embraced i' the eye at a single ghmce and then, as if conscious of having charmed the beholder with its beauty, pursuing jis course in a straight line, until it became lost in the bosom of rich forest that shade il hanks. The site, I am told, never over flows; and the ascent from the river to th summit is gradual and pleasing. A tine fanning country extends beyond it, which the capital and taste of the English settlers united with the intelligence, industry and enterprize of the Americans, have tilready improved and adorned to an extent w hich a person at a distance would not readily credit. No part of the Wabash Valley is more healthy than this. The robust and athletic frames and ruddy countenances of the great body of the citizens of the country around Florence, establish this fact in the most satisfactory manner. Indeed, so far as my own observation extends, an erroneous opinion has hitherto prevaildd in reference to relative measures of health, enjoyed on the upper ami lower Wabash. In one w ord, 1 believe that emigrants from other states are more likely to enjoy good health in the section of country between Terre Haute and the mouth of the W abash, than betw een that place and its head waters. The soil is as good, and the climate more mild and preferable. Situated as Florence is, on the only ground adapted to the laving out of a tow n, and not subject to be overflown by high w aters, between the grand rapids and the tnouth of the Wabash, the distance of more than one hundred miles commanding as it does the key to the state of Illinois, and hence an object of her solicitude and care, in her system of Internal Improvements upon which present appearances seem to indicate she will embark during the next session of her legislature . it is destined, in my opinion, in a few years to ho one of the most prosperous and commercial towns on the W abash rier. AV. i't"t mi: viNCKNSF.s oAziern;. Does 'Observer intend to oiler the "some illustration "without" which the 'ertiele in the ( "azette "should not pass.'"

If he expects any tiling from Locke on the subject, lie must clearly state the propositions concerning which he holds the contrary to what Locke eiunns or his exputation will be vain. Perhaps he thought he did sullieientlv, ii'i-'sirctc and a.scrriain points requiring attention: if so, I accept with due deference the degree of iisht an I vcriuinfu he has given to the matter.

Teachers, then, must speak of religion in ihe course of their instructions. ;. In regardingand representing the i'ible as the standard of religions truth, teachers accord with most of the. hooks used by the pupils, and the dec! irations of the majority of their pari nis and guardians. 4. It is doubtless proper for them to use LiMo truths: ftnt it i not jjrf.wn, nor it it bcwfiricl for t'cchtrs to hr purtiiirnt of .sect. .").- The first, chief, and leading item of wisdom, is a proper regard for COD. (i. ' in sentence is repeated principally on account of a slight inaccuracy as it stands in No. 2.) The. KuU which COD ha given to direct us. is the onh; our which 'li't r-t ('oi ntiionuf prospect of our attaining to reed w elfare. Which of these propositions will he denied? or, w ho w HI reject the inference. ?. The fear of COD is . thing to be taught in our common school.--? Th isg;i I aliinn that a proper regard for COD and the Bible are appropriate topics of instruction in our schools, 1 do not say nor think them to be the only proper subjects for lessons. They wili, in a judicious plan, occupy but a vmall portion 'f time, as set lessons. The large pari of time will of course beetniloed in teaching and practicing to read, spell, w rite, cypher, ite.. through the w hole routine of common studies, and several other branches and exercises in practical application, not usually introduced into our common schools. N'or is it to be feared that any collision w ill be found between the other branches of know ledge and that fit regard for COD and the. Bible w hich it is proper to teach the young. The subserviency of all branches of knowledge, w hen viewed and directed arighf. t-i the formation of character suited to the society of the Bible Heaven, w ill probably br again introduced; and some cortsiderati-itis' stated to fdiew that, a familiar -evp.iain:-,
mice with tr.e language and meaning of'
the Bible as a praelieal book, obtained in the same w ay as know ledge of other books is obtained w ill tend to diminish diversities of sectarianism, and render men in communities safer as it respects priesteruft, king-' iff', c.'itirch-ai'l-stafc-crof1, fanaticism, superstition, despotism and anarchy, and also (tthci.sticitl-infhltlily-crefl all which are Ki'iin-crafi. I now pass for the present all other topics and introduce one of vital importance in the work of education: The QUALIFICATIONS of Teachers. However perfect the set of lessons, however nieclv adjusted the system of operations, ifiearh rrn arc iinijitttlijic!, there must br. u foilore as to the result. A skiilul engineer is as necessary as a good engine. A competent teacher is as essential in the work, ot education as a nualiiied actuary or director in any other undertaking. Teachers must combine 'jndlifcitiions for working, on J. ti'iiliiies to fi'fierintend ami direct the efforts of others. The peculiarity of teachers' stations is not usually kept in icw. And much of the eil in our xvhoofins. may be refered to this oveieight. The teacher is to be both instructor and muster. Teach ers are not, like mechanics, concerned chiefly with producing habits of manual or bodily action. Mental hu'nts are to Ik ionned by their agency. i hey must in form and direct the mind in reference to mental action. And does not this station require a higher grudr of qualifications than one conversant with little else than manual or bodily action, or even than the management of dollars and cents? A teacher, or master in a school, should be I. "Not a NOVICK, lest being lifted up with pride,"' he prove to be one w ho "cannot teach and will not learn. lie must have a thorough and familiar know! edge ot all branches ot learning he is to teach, and also know their relations to the other studies and branches of education. and their bearings and applications in reference to business and general life. '2. He "must be APT to TFACII." Possession of knowledge for one's own practi cal use is one thing: siteeesslul communi cation ol know ledge, or, appropriate teaching is another thing. And many who possess, cannot impart the necessary know ledge to untrained ignorance. lie should be Vigilant, Sober, of Oood Behavior, Patient, not a Brawler, not Covet ous, one that Kulcth well."' lie who en gages in school keeping "for filthy lu ere's sake,' will defraud both pupil ami guardian, and even community too. He who has not "a good report of them which are" acquainted w ith him. cannot secure the respect of pupils, and can therefore govern them only by toree or worse mean lie who is not vigilant and sober both as to himself and the conduct ot his pupils; who has not. patience, self command and firmness; who is violent and vociferous ean never either teach or discipline with success. In the w ork of teaching the voting one must take the oversight of the (lock 'not by constraint, but willingly; not for tilth v lucre, but of a ready mind," 'neither : lord, but being a model to the flock,' or he w ill not long do well. He must meditate on these things; even give himself wholly to them, that his profiting may appear.' An irreprehensible. praiseworthy character is oi' fundamental importance in one w ho is to undertake the 'training up of children in the way they should go.' Next, is ability to gain access to a child's mind, and render it familiar with the elementary truths and (operations of learning. lieu he was a eiiiul. lie spake, unoerstood. and thought as a child. But w hen he became a man lie put aw ay these things of childhood.' The teacher w ho would be successful with children, i.ovf rrgoin these childish tilings which are put away in manhood, and then he meets pupils on their own level in the outset, and they will bv his aid progress onward and upward. Without these, two last named pialiiieatious. teachers will not and cannot accomplish what ought to be undertaken in school education. LOCKE. m m 1 :e; Till-: INCKN X Its G A.ItT l It.
