in Tiirif i jrr,:z(iK. A public examination of mi students ot the .incennes A aili tny, was commenced on Fuday ihc Uth mst. and ended on the evening of the foliowuu; day. It is tiuly gratifying to state, ili it upo i all the various branches to w.dch the studies of the youni gentlemen had been dhected, together with the principles of the different parts upon which they were examined, the students acquitted themselves with honor, both to themselves and their teacher and to the tn'iic satisfai tion of parents and visitors. This institution, yet in its infancy, is under the supci uitcndancc of the Revd H M. Shaw, a gentleman alike distinguished tor his scientific acquirements, his classical taste, his moral deportment, and liis excellent police and we learn with much saiis'action, that during the ensuing year, he will tiansfcr it to the Knox com ty Seminary. Inspired with a full confidence of the importance of such a Semin nry, under such a principal; we would hei call upon parents and guardians throughout this, Sc all the adjoining counties, for that liberal patronage it so pre-eminently merits, to sustain its existance now, Sc its high des tinies hereafter. Our si tte. nor the ad joining slates, cannot afford an education more complete th.vn may be acquired untie! the tuition of Mr Shaw; and for pu

pils, parents and community, the acquisi-

tion at home. om:ar home, should be pr -fo red. No grovelling motive could iril'ice us to nuke the declaration, that an

education received at a distance from pa- ' rental scrutiny, and requiring for its attainment, the expenditure of large sums of oonev cannot be often acquired in a countrv like this and when so acquired, it too of en ! fifords cauc of regret, by its tnord cftects upon after conduct. All thos who emcmbcr the gay and exhili rating morning of lift- all who now feel those delightful sensation through everv thrilling nerve that experience and novelty excites, know it is unnecessary for us in preferring a home education, to mention how deep, how enduring, are the imp-cssions of early years. Cowpcr very justly observes From education, as the leading cause, The public character its colour draws ; Thence the prevailing manners take their cast." We conceive that the hallowed associations of home, should be rendered the most endearing objects of youth that it is tl us alone, in a community like outs, that the ruddy chi ck can be made to blossom with delight, md the radicnt eye to sparkle, at the improvement and extension ol their own society - thus alone, that a general character can he formed m a new country that character which connect-, as bv an indissoluble link, the cradle :i ! the t' ub. The first exhibition of Mr. Shaw's pupils, has dispiai ed t dents of high promise the ptogiess made in so shoit a time i" his dir ction, furnishes a pleading ohj' ct of coiitonp ition ; and we anticipate ' it!i delight; the period when our ti c'' s wi I receive new polish from the addition of so many ornaments I oas been communicated to us and we heard it with great pleasure) that Mr Shaw intends with the aid of an accomplished tutoress, to open an additional de partmcut for the reception of young ladies rvclusively 1 his branch, we trut, Will also meet with the needful aid and support Female influence over the manin ; of the other sex is undisputed and when enlightened and refined, thev never fail ot communicating i degree of ameli ora ioti highlv sa!uta : indeed we shall view this addition ,:s the certain prectusor ol a memorable acra in our communis.

best conduce to private interests, and to private emolument if the public advantage has been disregarded, and the public rights abused and trampled on, it is time to revert to fu st principles to the great land marks of republicanism.

But I said more I said that if this time had come, every good citizen is called on by all that is dear to thrreman to confer power on some individual ot tried honesty of pre-eminent love of country and of stern, unyielding independence whose pure republicanism will crush that most abhorrent ol all po liiiral heresies, the doctrine of unfitted firmer whose integrity will stay the ide ot intrigue and corruption in its flow Sc cleanse the worse than Augean stables of the metropolis and bestow the posts and honors of the nation only on the most capable the most worthy and the most meritorious.

subject, therefore is it, that he who could fil three s-did columns, with observations on one poor little paragraph, could not fu'nish one idea on the very many important historical facts, both preceding and following the subject ol his criticism r I will not repeat those facts, but I will s?ate one in addition who furnished J:m Randolph's dough faces with offices? Who violated the light of instt uction ? Who rampled on the piivileges of frc -men ? Who cast the patronage of the executive as a shield between the offemkd constituents and their false, their dough faced representatives? he Missouri

Mc.Clain, a nobied principled tepuhlican of Delawate scorned to violate the ttust reposed in him by his fellow citizens sc-'tned to disob' y the expressed will ot his constituents and governed not by mteiest. but influenced by firincifile, resigned his seat, and received the applause of all sincere republicans His feliow citizens, inspiicd by a most praise worthy magnanimity, instantly re elected him But not so with the dough faced they violated the confidence of their fellow citizens disregarded the instructions of their constituents voted eontraiy to the declar t d vjdl of the people whom thc represented, Sc retained their seats. I tc'pice in the mode m which the Missouti question was settled but I scorn, I detest John Randolph's dough faces When the administration shielded these representatives from the punishment they so justly merited a' the hands of their corirtruents when the executive cast ; e national patronage over the responsibility due by the representative to his constituents w hen go crnmtnt bestow cd of fires on t ie dugh faced gentry a blow w is struck at American li'.erty, for which Unus will never forgive the men who e it for which these men dcscrvt he reprobation, and even the detestation l all A eiican-,. ol aII freemen, md ad repuh ! -.ns.

sophistical reasoning by w hich each thing as interest dictates, becomes in the hands of our constitutional lawyers, at their mere pleasure, constitutional or not con stitu'ional And it is also insinuated, that Jackson is unacquainted with mir afTairs, foreign and domestic hut whv do not these gentlemen who nvkc this objection give th reasons or which their opinion is founded ? There is, in truth, no tmable objection to gen. Tackson, and thefore I shall vote for him. UVUS
