We publish in our paper to*Jay n lengthy arti cle from the Charleston ( .’mirier, on the subject which stands at the liea lof these remarks. The complaint of the writer is just—his denunciations of modern school keeping although extremely c nnstic, are nevertheless, generally founded in truth. Many, very many of the High Schools of the present tiny, especially Female Schools are the verriest humbugs on earth. They are empty show and parade to but litlte good pur pose, and it takes the interest on a handsome for tune to pay the tuition of a young lady, besides board and clothing. Hut the cost would he a small consideration if the improvement of pupils was in a correspondent ratio, which we regret to be believe is not true of one ease in a hundred. When a parent or guardian pays two or three hundred dollars per annum for the tuition of his daughter or ward, he has a right to expect that she will he instructed in the use ful branches of education, and is disappointed in finding her at the end of the year, with only a smattering of half a dozen or a dozen branches, wit hout any sui i o I knowledge of either, W e publish the following to show that Mr. Van Huron lias been supported at the North, on the ground of his being favorable to Abolition and he Tariff, while at the South, he is lauded as the chosen champion-opponent of both.

Gazette, formerly edited by the present Editor of the Nashville Union, the leading journal of the Vanitesin Tennessee. The Abolitionist—llroken Doses. Gentlemen from various parts of the State, hap pening to he in Nashville, have called at our ollice to sec with their own eyes the New Ucd'ord Ga zettes, (with the name of the present editor of the Union at its mast head,) Irom which we have quoted the rabid abolitionism that we have held up us a “Looking Glass” to Col. Folk and his Van Huron co-operators in Tennessee, in order that they may see truly what they have done and arc still doing. We are glad to find the honest and high-minded Tennesseans taking a lively in to esl in this matter. It concerns them. Any gentleman from the country coming to Nashville, is re pectfully invited to cull at the Haulier Office ami examine the documen/s for himself.

So do Van Huron men of this city, and yet the party are sustaining him ! The dose we adduce 10-duy is a small hut strong one. Here it is. It consists ol an array of Mr, \ an Huron’s votes hi opposition to slavery, which the editor transferred to his columns evidently to benefit Mr. Van Huron: From the Neiv Bedford Gazette, Nov. 2, [Hv .1 tat km t *it G. Hauhih.] “In 1821, Mr. Van Huron voted that Congress had the Constitutional power to abolish slavery in the Territories, and instructed the New York Senators in Congress to vole against the admis sion of Missouri. “in 18315, he says that congress has the consti tutional power to uhohs i slavery in the District of Coluidha. “In 1821, he voted to give free blacks the right of suffrage. “In 1822, he voted in favor ol restricting the introduction of slaves into Florida.” VAV mil IMS M AM) THE TATI IFF.

The sole issue therefore is Van Hi u i:n or Vs a Tr, and this s' oas the important e of giving the vote ol Massachusetts to V.-.n H.nen, for it must go to him or to White. The article in the VV ashinglon Globe shows that the question, whether Mr. Van Hnren shall lie elected hv the people, or White in the House, may depend en tirely on tin' vote ol Massachusetts, How impor tant, then, is union and strength here, in the de mocracy—how essential it is to New England interests, tha Impossibility of White’s election should be deieated.

For j merly children were sent to school all day, after noon as well as morning for the instructors to tench; now the parents teach them in the after noon ami they go to school next morning to con over to the teacher their home lessons. It they say them will the teacher pats the little urchin on the hood and says, ‘ Mice!” “Nice!” “Good hoy.” “Fine little fellow!” If they say them ill, the parent i* soon informed that h s son “is a dull hoy”—that he “requires practical advici—home discipline,” and that he, (the instructor,) “linds it | a hard matter to beat any kind of learning into i him.” Beat learning! if the child ever gels any j learning Troin hint, it will he soon cnonirh | healing, and a mauled face w ill be the only evi dence til his progress.

Ifwc are wise (hanks he praised for it ! and we got our wisdom such as it is, at school from teachers who were so called, because it was their business to teach, and because they actually taught children, and not from such teachers as we have now-a-days, who are called teachers because it is their business to hear, and because they actually hour children their lessons, and because they are paid roundly for this hearing into the bargain. Inconceivable, the benefit of a good pair of ears to a wooden in st umenl!—hetterthan learning,science,patience, assiduity, early hours, and decent charges—i. u. fair consideration for something done and not for something omitted to he done—the old fashioned qualifications and accomplishments of our old lime teacher.

An army ol school teachers follows close upon his footsteps—a formidable array of light armed gen try, who, for tho broad sword, wield the penknife —for the spear, the gray goose-quill—and for the rattle-axe, the strap. On their banner, waving to die breeze, is inscribed, in capital letters, those words of Lord Biiimoiiam, “THE SCHOOL WASTER is ABROAD,” which have recently deyalcd, in the opinion of teachers, their modest Inlies to the dignity and correspondent emolu ments of a profession—so that we now have-Pro fessors of Teaching, as well as Professors of Ag riculture and Professors of Dancing, and every other kind of Professors suited to tins age of the march of inti licet. What did Lord Brougham mean by tlmtexpresasion, of which the school masters have taken so much advantage— that the schi.ulnrrsti ris abroad P Did he mean, that the schoolmaster was bona fide out of school of an af ternoon! If he did, he stated a fact, of which lie might have proof enough—perhaps in England— an 1 . crlainly enough, and too much, in this coun try, But if he meant this, did he intend to ap prove ol the practice ?—of school-teachers, being hall the day out their schools, while their ptioife—" were receiving that instruction at hortfiT'vvliich they ought to got at sc W' t> . l r, or w a tide ring about -the Lord where ! Lord Brougham is wti wise a man to give currency to such a cus tom by his public approval—loo' wise by fur, to furnish such a carle blanche to in lolencc and the love of rambling. Lord Brougham knows, as every body else does who knows any thing, that the proper place fertile schoolmaster is his school house. that instead of being “abroad,” pursuing his pleasures, he ought to he within doot* attend ing to his duties—that the afternoon makes a patl of the day ns well ns the morning—and that whoever lives in a Christian land, ought “to work while it is called to-day,” i. e. the whole day, af ternoon as well as morning, “because the night, cometh in which no man ran work,” and because no schoolmaster who does work as much and as. long as Christianity enjoins and commands him to work, i. e. as hard us he can, —as mechanics, do—and the best part of the day—as ploughmen do—ought to ho paid for working, and, least of all, be paid exorbitant fees fordoing next to noth ing. But if Lord Brougham did not mean that the schoolmaster ought to lie out of school halfllu-. day, or the whole of it—what did he mean! Eve ry body knows what lie meant—the school teach ers themselves, if they would but confess it—that he intended merely to say, that that intelligence which was the natural result of the old time leach ing—when teachers taught their pupils, and did not merely hear the lessons which their parents taught them—when children went to school ail day and studied hard when there, improving their precious lime, that this intelligence, the result of such excolU nt discipline, was getting “abroad” in the world, lifting up its head, and shedding its light, far and wide, into every dark corner; in oth er words, that we. including himself in the num ber, as he ought to do, are a wise generation— wiser than those who went before us, and wiser than those will he who are to come after ns a very wise people indeed. Ifthis lie so, and that it is, who can doubt it! intellect had hette, stop its march a shoit time, and consider, whether it has not gone far enough for one ago—whether the 'spirit ol tel.inn. which is so popular and has so many votaries, has not introduced some practices which are innovations instead of improvements piirlicuh rly in the de|uirtiiieiit of education; w he ther con in hi sense does not stand aghast in view of some ot these changes, and whether it is not I better logo hack to the good old practices which prevaihd when Lord Brougham wasahoy.though it may c ist the teachers a little more labor and the parents a little less both ol la 1 or and cash to do so, j than to let t alone. lam not captious—l hope not. 1 have held my tongue on this subject us long as I could, and j that long time has been lor the last ten years— ever since 1 have had children to send to school, hut I can hold my tongue no longer, 1 am quite tired of this tongue holding—a paltry practice which makes a tool ot a man. I had rather hold a clear conscience by telling the truth. I had rather hold w hat little of property is still left me fom the grasp of the (cachets. 1 must speak, and i cannot speak and hold my longue too at the sometime, a natural imp sahib;,.

And that time has arrived now to me. and i mean to improve it hy saying what I think i ri >lit. The other day, Messrs. Editors, and this is not telling a talc oIU of school, for “the schoolmaster is abroad” and the “school is out” j —in other words, every thing is fair and above I hoard in tiic proceeding—no concealment is af fected; and if there were, no concealment is ad missible in such cases—the other day, Messrs. Editors, my little hoy came home with the “judg ment hook,” in his hand—(excellent things, hy : the way, those “judgment books” are, I speak in I all honesty) containing the following note: “The inslructer hopes, that Master will prepare hi- lessons at home much better than hitherto.” Then! “hands off” of my tongue, Isay.— “Hands oil' 1 of my pen, ink, paper and writing desk, bring me a chair and give me elbow room. The press is free, and i must speak, write and print something on this subject. I declare j to you, Messrs. Editors, with the frankness with 1 which a man should speak the truth always, and : with lie solemnity with which I would give my ! tc.-liim ny in Court, if I were called upon to utter j the trulii, the whole truth and nothing hut Urn I truth. I say I declare, that the lessons, which my little hoy has “prepared at home,” have been reasonably well “prepared,” and that if he has recited them to his teacher at school as well as his father has prepared him to recite them at home, that I shall lie satisfied with his progress, whether his teacher is or no. I aver moreover, that I have taught him faithfully all the lessons lie has learned since he has been to school, Read ing, Geography, History, Latin and all,and I am not aware of his having learned any thing of mo ment at school—any thing worth paying a six pence for—that I have not first drilled and per fected him in at home. This has been my uni form practice for the last ten ycais, since I have sent hoys to Charleston schools, and I have sent them to several in oidci t> ascertain if there was any diflbreixe 1 elwcon them in this particular. I have found none. I have indeed heard of five schools in Charleston where children are buna fide taught hy their teachers—perhaps there are such —I hope there are, hut I apeak now from my own severe experience, and from pretty fair ob servation, and I believe rny experience coincides with that of the gical majority of parents in this communily. The parents have the great labor to perform in the instruction of their children, while the teachers are paid, and paid at high rales, for merely hearing their lessons, or doing little more than hearing them. I have heard of a professional gentleman, whose engagements arc numerous, and who has no time to turn teacher, who has actually been obliged to hire a tutor in his family, to teach his children their lessons which they are to recite next day in school.— i lie evil is a great, a crying and an increasing one, and n ust he reformed. The evil is a re form which must he itself reformed. Intellect must take up the line of march, and travel hack, J with all its forces, to the “good old pialhs” in I which our forefathers waked, when we were little buys. Do. Intellect ! Do, General! Do if you have any compassion upon the parents of the pre sent generation. Be quick, too. dear General.— Do not linger and look hack, like Lot’s wife, for do as yon will, you cannot remain in your pre sent quarters, and the time flies. I thank God dial I have hud some leisure for the instruction of my children at home. If I Lad not had. I veri ly bed.eve, notwithstanding school teaching and the march of intellect, that they would have grown up barbarians—a kind of wild rolls— worse than the aborigines. How those children succeed, whose parents have no time to teach them at home—the sons of merchants, doctors and lawyers, I know not; end Ido not care to lift, the veil for tlie sake of any thing promising that I: hall sec beyond it. There may lie ruri nant f, in gtirgde vaslo among them, for aught I know—regular geniuses who scorn hooks—de spise education, and depend upon the native force of intellect for making impressions. There are some suclt characters in the world—self-edu cated giants of learning—great brags for nature —persons who would make capital recruits for In tellect who is marching about the country tlemcn to whom the “srhooh¥,“rsteVia always abroad," since they school, or. ifthey do, learn noljuiut >v |„ n there, because they are -- -SfetfFe learning, and spurn it as they would a toad or yelping cur. I speak now only for myself and for some others, and those not a few, when I say. that we. parents, are h"arlily tired of teaching and paying the teachers, for the teaching we leach into the bargain. We areprovoked. when, after having labored hard with our children the best part of the afternoon, learning them their school tasks—if we chance to got out a little ear lier than usual—to see the “schoolmaster abroad,” indulging his elegant propensities, pur suing his expensive pleasures, riding in the most splendid gig in the city, or on a steed fit for Gen eral Intellect himrclf, most showily caparisoned and equipped, and riding usually, like his great commander, at a more rapid rale than other mor tals. and when we reflect, that we, the parents, are paying for all this ostentatious parade, ami are, at the same time, doing the duly which we arc paying “the schoolmaster” for doing— we. who are obliged to go afoot, because the exorhi tmt tuition we pay lo leacheis, deprives ns of the means of hiring a gig, or owning a horse, for our recreation. My wife, to whom I read the foregoing, lifted her hands and exclaimed, “If you publish that my dear! it will offend the teachers.” I replied, “My dear! the paiei ts are the complaining party in this instance. It is not what the parents have done wickedly to the teachers—for they have done nothing—patient, ah s, too patient souls!—to them hut to relieve them of their own proper labors, hut it is what the tencheis have omitted to do to and for the parents, i. e. omitted to teach their children, which is the cause and the just cause of complaint between us and the teachers.” To which my better half replied, “My deal! you know best.” And to which I replied, in my turn, “My dear I do.” I am perhaps too wordly. Messrs. Editors; Gut whatever touches a man’s purse novv-a-davs, is pretty sure lo touih his conscience—not that a man's purse and his conscience are the same tiling, which it is downright heresy to affirm because they are different things in reruni nutura, hut only that a man in these times, when beef and butler and poultry are high—very high—docs not feel that he has much ol a conscience to pay for nothing. He stands on his p’s and q’s, which means his p nls and quarts, and demands his 7 lt d tor his 7110, like the men who buys the wine by the small. If lam worldly, however, I have the satisfaction to reflect, that the teachers are so loo—very grasping—solhnt I may bury my own reproach in the gone: ul calamity. ’ No one doubts that school keeping is a profitable business at the present rates—mo.e profitable than law, for the parent makes hut one client tor the lawyer, while his children makes ten or a dozen for the peda gogue, and as good pay too; —more profitable than the ministry, for the clergy, what with their large families, high school hills, dear markets, and an occasional parly or two for neighborhood's sake, can scarcely make the two ends of the year meet, and keep up an appearance—a decent one to say nothing of a carriage or even a gig to r de to church in. I know some yr-ung gentlemen just made limbe ■I 1 e law, woo had wit enough not to wait for lawyer -s tees, which w. u!d be ten y« ars a-teming. m woo went dim t*\ to scl 00l lopping—ns the most profitable trade o the two, and gathered a ■ ich harvest the very first season. Tbev tell me they have thriven at it, for they have been able to J buy valuable plantations with (he proceeds. to supply the Charleston market with breve the very best quality. Ido not believe there j any trade, or mystery practised at the present ; half so profitable, in the great majority of rnsesjul as school keeping— ifwc except physic—the iWj alchemy or gold converting art that philos. pl^B'’\ | have ever discovered. I therefore rrrommondVi' j all young lawyers, and educated young mm who r are out of a place—instead of waiting to adorn 1 V their hrows with the laurels of a Burke, a Chatham, 1 \ a Webster, or a Patrick Henry, which they will ?\ have to wait for a long time and perhaps not get A after all—to turn their at'rntion to school-keep- Art ing at once, i, e. if they wish— ns I suppose they \ do—to obtain the means to support a pretty w ile 1 A with.
