MHG,
The horn—the horn is sounding nigh,
The huntsmen onwards ride;
With hawk and hound right cheerily,
To try your covert’s side;
The chase is strayed—but not for me,
It loiters m the dell;
It tempts not, when away from thee,
Sweet Isabel'.
My hunting knife rusts on the wall,
My falcon droops his wing;
My dogs whine loudly in the hall,
To hear the summons ring,
O’er ttiicket, Hood, and upland lea,
Again its echoes swell;
It tempts not, when away from thee,
Sweet Isabel!
The time has been, its lightest blast
Had bade me hurry on;
No foot that to the greenwood past,
With step so free gone.
The field, as them, is fair to see,
But, though it promise well,
It tempts not, when aw iy from the,
Sweet Isabel!

The Cause of Farmers.
The following extracts from an Ad
dress delivered by Doctor Lindsley be
fore the University of Tennessee, and
the remarks made upon it, should be
particularly noticed and cherished by
the farmers of our country.
None but enemies of the people
will ever gravely maintain that a com
mon school education, in the ordinary
meaning of the phrase, is all they need.
This would be virtully telling them to
be hewers of wood and drawers of wa
ter under their political task-masters
forever. Why is it that our lawyers
rule the nation, and fill our lucrative
oflices, from the presidency down
wards? Simply and solely because
they can do something more than read
and write. If our mechanics and far
mers would enter the lists with our
lawyers, they must acquire the same
degree of intellectual power and ad
dress.
I have been pleading the cause of
farmers and mechanics for some ten or
a dozen years past. —Because upon
them, as enlightened, judicious, inde
pendent, patriotic citizens, depend the
destinies of this republic. The ques
tion is, sh ill they lead or be led? Shall
they arrest and put down the factions
spirit of unprincipled ambition, or shall
they tamely lend themselves as instru
ments and the victims of desperate and
treasonable p irposes? r I he crisis has
arrived when the people must speak
and act wisely, or their ability to speak
and act, with decisive efficiency, will
be lost forever.
The lawyers are now our sole po
litical guides and instiuctors. They
engross the learning of the. country;
1 mean all that learning which is
brought to bear on government, legis
lation and public policy—for the phy
sicians rarely intermeddle in these af
fairs — and the clergy ought forever to
be excluded by law, if not by a high
sense of duty. Our farmers and me
chanics, therefore, who constitute the
_great body of the people, are govern.
eTbj’ the lawyers. Now, is it not in
human nature, that in such a country
as ours, there should not grow up a
sort of professional aristocracy, which
in time may become irresistible?
Wherever there is a privileged order,
no matter how constituted —whether
like the patrician of ancient, or the ec
clesiastic of modern Rome—it will, it
not duly checked and counterbalanced,
in the long run, become overbearing
and tyrannical. I look to the college
for a reasonable supp y of countervail
ing agents. I look forward to the pe
riod when it will not be deemed
anti-republican fori he college graduate
to follow the plough; nor a seven days’
wonder for the laborer to be intellect
ual and to comprehend the constitution
of his country.
lam not unfriendly to lawyers. I
could say much m their praise, were I
in the humor of passing encomiums.
In their proper sphere they are useful
and necessary. But that they should
engross the legislative, judicial and ex
ecutive functions of the government, is
neither republican, nor safe, nor, upon
any ground, defensible. There would
be reason in the thing, if, like the far
mers. they composed a large numeri
cal majority of the population. But
that a few thousand of any particular
profession, class, or order, should rule
over millions, is as anomalous, and as
inconsistent with the genius of our pop
ular institutions, as would be a heredi
tary aristocracy, possessing the same
exclusive privilege. The farmers have
no alternative but to yield their necks
to the yoke, or to open up to their
sons a great highway to the scientific
halls of the university. Belonging as
I do, to their respectable fraternity by
birth, by early association, and by all
the ties of kindred—the son of a labor
ing farmer, the brother of laboring far
mers, and the father, it may be, of la
boring farmers and mechanics—l can.
not be indifferent to their welfare, even
upon the most selfish considerations.
But 1 feel conscious of a higher mo
tive. I seek to elevate my country,
by imparting to her sons the noblest
attributes of humanity. That we may
be forever a nation of enlightened, gen
erous, high-minded,self-governing free
men, the envy and admiration of the
world.
Our author’s remarks, illustrative of
the tendency of learned institutions to
foster and support civil liberty, are
supported by our ideas of intellectual
culture, and by the part which these
institutions have acted, when unfetter,
ed by superstition and restrictive law.
Witness the Gymnasiums of Germany
and the Polytechnic schools of France.
Wherever (says our author) the
university has been suffered to flourish
and expand, and to send forth its salu.
tary streams among the people, there
have been growing up both the capa
city and the determination to resist all
gr.ns oppression, And there, too, a
decided progress has been made in all
the arts of peace, and especially in the
science of government. In Spain,
Portugal, and Russia, a fool or a ruffian
may be tolerated on the throne, because
the university has been kept in bon
dage and the people in ignorance.
But were a Ner» seated on the throne
of England to-morrow, he would not
dare to violate a single law of the realm.
He could no more enact the part of a
Richard or a Henry, than the meanest
subject could commit murder with iin-
history of those colonial pion
•era in the cause of learning, virtue
and liberty, is pregnant with i ,structio:i to all I
men whoentertuiif doubts or fi irsorpn judiccs I
in regard to the character, influence and bear- j
ingsof similar establishments. Within sight |
of the oldest and still most cel •brated univer- i'
sity of our country, cotmntmced the mi?lily ''
contest which created a fo.i r’ . !
And her gallant sons pou;-< d out their blood
like water upon the battle fLid. They reused
by their eloquence every patriotic ene-gy es
their countrymen, a id were ever foremast to
hazard and to sacrifice fi.r.-.ino and life forth •
general weal. Then was th?, golden oppor
tunity for college bred ge tffim -n to have se
cured stars and garters, ami mitres and estates,
by rallying around the royd standard, in sup
port of legitimacy and aristocracy, of the priest j
and king; and to have plat: ! th ir feet proud- ■
ly on the necks of the vulgar and illiterate.
So base a sycophant, so traitorous a tory, so I
aspiring a would he lord, ;> v r disgraced a
college catalogue. — Not one proud recreant to
the cause of popular rights and liberty. V, hat
ever their calling or profession—lawyers, phy
sicians, clergymen, merchants, farmers —law- i
yers, physicians, clergymen, merchant;’, far- j
mers—al! the sons of Ain't Matcir— were ,
found in the ranks of hostility to Britain’s >
legions.
Nor ought it ev .r to ba forgotten that. >
throughout the original thirteen confederated I
colonies, afterwards states, the best educated ■
and most enlightened individuals were decided i
Whigs;—and in their wisdom, intelligence, j
patriotism and integrity, the people reposed j
unlimited confidence. And they were not. de- '
ceived. These were the men who directed
the Revolutionary conflict: and these too were
the men who formed the Constitution, und r
which we now live in peace, prosperity and
happiness, unparalleled in the history of our
world.
The following paragraphs accord so well
with our sentiments, that we can do no more
than give them a cordial recommendation:
But our farmers 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 ought to go to col
lege, or to become a proficient in Greek or
Latin. I speak of them as a class; and by a
liberal education 1 mean such a course of in
tellectual discipline as will lit them to sustain
the rank which they ought to hold in this re
public. They are by right the sovereigns ol
the laud, because they constitute an overwhelm
ing majority. Why do they’ not thou, in fact,
rule the land' Because, and only because
they are too ignorant. And thus they sick
into comparative insig liffcaoce: and stiller
themselves to be used as th-: mere instruments
of creating their own in unb-ers, who care as
little fortheir welfare as if they were born to
be beasts of burden. Were it possible, I
would visit every farmer in Tennessee, who is
not already awake, and endeavor to arouse him
from his latal lethargy, by every consideration
which can render life and liberty desirable;
and urge him to reclaim his abandoned rights
and his lost dignity, by giving to his sons that
measures of instruction which will qualify
them to assert and to maintain just superiority
in the councils of the state and of the nation,
like men proudly conscious of their intellectu
al as well as physical power.
The same general remarks apply to me
chanics and to all the laboring classes in pro
portion to their numbers. An education, even
of the highest order, may be as valuable to
them as to others. In our free country, a far
mer or mechanic, with equal talents and in
telligence. would be more likely to become a
popular favorite, than either a lawyer, or the
well bred heir of an opulent patrician family.
Suppose a farmer could speak as well, write
as well, appear as well versed in history, geo
graphy, statistics, jurisprudence, polities, and
other matters of general and local interest, as
the lawyer—would he not stand a better chat ce
of being elevated to the highest, most honorable,
and most lucrative offices?
The grand heresy on the subject of educa
tion seems to have arisen from the usage which
obtained at an early period in modern Euro
pean society, and which many centuries have
sanctioned and confirmed—namely: that a
learned or liberal education was, and is deem
ed important only for a liberal profession, or
for gentlemen of leisure. Hence the church,
the bar, and the medical art, have nearly mon
opolised the learning of the world. Our peo
ple reason and act in accordance with the same
absurd and aristocratic system. The cui bono
is upon every tongue. —“Whatgood,” it is ask
ed, “will college learning do my son?—He is
to be a farmer, a meclntiic, a merchant.”
Now I would answer such a question, ia the
first place, directly thus: “A college educa
cation, or tl e best, most thorough, and most ex
tensive education that can be acquired, will be
of immense benefit to your son, simply as a
farmer, mechanic, merchant, manufacturer,
sailor or soldier.” Andi would patiently en
deavor to show him how, and in w hat respects;
but I will not attempt to illustrate such truisms
at present. But in the second place I would
reply to my plain friend’s mtarragatory thus:
“Educate your son in the best manner possible,
because you expect him to be a Man, and not
a horse or an ox. You cannot tell what good
he may achieve, or what i t portant offices he
may discharge in his day; for aught you know,
he mi y, if you do your duty by him, become
the President es the United States. At any
rate, he has reason and understanding, which
ought to be cultivated for their own sake.
Should he eventually live ia the most humble
retirement, and subsist by the hardest manual
labor, still he may enjoy an occasional intel
lectual feast of the purest and most exhilarat.
ing kind. If all our laboring fellow-citizens
could relish books and should have access to
them, what a boundless field of innocent re
creation and profitable entertainment would not
be always at hand and within their reach?
What a flood of cheering happiness would not
be shed upon the dark path, and poured into
the bitter cup of millions of rational, immortal
beings, who, at present, rank but little above
the brute in their pursuits, habits and enjoy
ments?
In reference to elementary education, a pa
rent ought never to inquire what a child is to
be—whether a farmer or a lawyer—but sho’d
educate him in the best manner practicable,
and endeavor to inspire him with sentiments
of virtue and independence, which would pre
serve him from the vulgar pride of being a
shamed to earn his living by honest industry.
Besides, learning is itself a treasure —an estate
—of which no adverse fortune can ever deprive
its possessor. It will accompany, and con
sole, and support him to the world's end, and
to the close of life.
Our farmers and laboring classes have 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 great as the poorest of our people
habitually enjoy, it has been discovered that the
most ignorant and debased and hard-worked
manufacturing operatives have abundant time
for much intellectual cultivation.
FOUR months after date application will
be made to the Hono able the Inferior
Court of Walker county, for leave to sell the
Estate of John Burks l ite of said County de
ceased, both real and personal.
