The cratinucd blackguardism in which the Editor of tho News persist", calls for an apology on our part to the public, tbat we should over have committed the error of placing him on the footing af a gentle man. This apology we now make, and it is the last notice we shall ever take of Mr Browning, unless ho forces himself upon u*i, which he will do at his personal peril. EDUCATION IN AUTS AND TRADES. It is a misfortune that the old-fashion ed habit of subjecting lads to the train ing of apprenticeship has been suffered to die out. The lack of systematic educa tion in the practice of the industrial arts has all ready produced serious effects upon many of our trades in which skilled labor is needed, and there nre loud com plaints from all classes of our employers againsv tho imperfect methods of wot k which have unfortunately become the rule rather than the exception. The younger generation of Americans seem to have forgotten that their fathers won the honors and rewards id' life through dili gent labor, careful study and the skillful adaptation of means to ends. Practical education has givett place to a sort of happy go lucky, scramble, in which the ijuiclte.-t iu the luckiest. Young men plunge headlong into avocations for which they are totally unsuitcd by nature or by education; the useful lifo of the nr tisnn is too often regarded with undis guised contempt by those who prefer to starve in clerkships rather than to live through the gains of labor; couutry lad? come to the cttics with no degree of fit for city work, anil frequently fall into evil ways; and the ranks of tho skilled workmen, which must be kept full in order to preserve our industries from de 1 cay, arc chiefly recruited from abroad. 1 A?k the. ?_?*??er u? ttsy one of ??r large printing offices, who gives employment to many men, It the printed is t*s well trained for his work as he should be, aud the an* swer is the negative?ami *?hy? ;Be cuuse the custom of apprenticing' boys to j tbat trade has fallen into disuse, chiefly I through the operations of the trade-union j system. Inquire of any mnchiuisl, who [ has hundreds of good workmen under j pay, what proportion of Americans find their way to his shop among the throng ! of applicants, for places, and his reply ! will be that tho foreign elnnent is largely I in excess of - the negative. The same reason is given in explanation?the mreigilworkmen in trained from boyhood to the avocation he selects to follow, and the American workmau is untrained. '1 he statistics of our manufacturing in <1 nstries for the past ten years show that < I tliis condition of affairs has gradually i grown worse, and the problem of the. best I I method of retornting lie evil is vne which { I demands attention. j j Recent discussion of the subject of tech-' t nical education have therefore assumed I an important aspect. "We need schools for instruction'in tho industrial arts, open j to all comers, and capable of imparting a ! practical knowledge of essential process; 1 but more than all else, we need a better j I education of the young in the lessons of industry and duty. The rising genera- j tion of American youth should be so tu tared that they will regard honest labor as an obligation incumbent upon them, rather than as n punishment inflicted for their sins. It is not given to every mnn child tu walk in the way of the states man, the orator, or the author1?nor, for that mutter, to become proficient as clerk or merchant; nature bus created Ark wrights and Bruneis and Stephensons for the practical work of the world, and but for this practical clement the professions would speedily find themselves without clients or audiences. Let our boys be urged to select their own line of business, and when their choice is made, require them to apply all their energies to the mastery of its principles and its details, and we shall then have begun to. purge the body corporate of some of the un wholesome humors which now retard its growth and restrict its energies. [School Journal. to henky H. ItAXDALL, e8^. CtC. Holly Loixje, Kingston, London,) May 23, 1857. j . Dear Sin: * * * * * * You arc surpcriscd to learn that I have not a high opinion of Mr. Jeffersou ?and I am n little surprised-at your sur prise. I am certain that I neven wrote a line, and that I never in Parliament, in conversation, or on the hustings?the places where it is the fashion to court the populace?uttered u word indicating un opinion that that the supreme authority in a State ought to be entrusted to the majority of citizens told by tho head, in other words tu the poorest and more'ig norant part of society. I have long becu convinced that institutions purely demo cratic must sooner or later destroy liber ty or civilization, or both. In Europe, whore, the population is dense, the effect of such institutions would be almost instantaneous. What happen ed in Franco is an example. In 1848 a pure democracy was established there. During a short time there was reason to expect a general spoliation, a national bankruptcy, a new partition of the soil, a maximum of prices, a ruinous loud of taxation laid on the rich for the purpose of supporting the poor in idleness. Such a system would in twenty years, have made Franco as poor and barbarous as the France of the CnrloVingians. Hap pily the danger was averted, and now there is a silent tribune, an enslaved oress. Li berty is gone, but civilization has been saved. 1 have not tho slightest doubt that, if wo had a purely democratic gov ernment here, tho effect would be the samo. lather the poor wonld plunder the rich, aud civilization would perish, or order and property would be saved by a strong military government, and ?ber*y would perish. You may think that your country en joys an exemption from thoso evils. I will frankly own* to you that I am of u very different opinion. Yonr fate I be lieve to be certain, though it is deferred by a physical cause. As long as yon have a boun llvss extent of fertile ami unoccupied land, your laboring popula tion will be far more at ease than the la boring population of the old world ; und while that is the cn?e, the Jefl'ervonhin policy may continue to exist without causing Miy fatal calamity. But tin time will come when New England will ?gang-J?^j^^Mt*^tTTfgffff!B??BB^ be as thickly settled as old England*. Wages will bo us low, and will fluctuate t*s much with you as with us. You will have your Manchester* and Birming hams, and in those Manchestersand Bir minghams, bund reds of thousands of arti sans will assuredly he sometimes out of work. Then your' institutions will be fairly brought to the test. Distress eve rywhere makes ths laborer mutinous ami discontented, and incline- hini to listen with eagerness to agitators who tell him that it is a> monstrous iniquity*that "'one man should have a million, while another cannot a full meal. In bad. years here, there is always plenty of grumbling and a little rioting. But it matters little. For here the sullen rs are not the rulers. The supreme power is in the hands of a class, numerous, indeed, but select?of an educated class,, of a class which is, and knows itself to be, deeply in'crcst cd in the security of proper.y, aud the maintenance of order. Accordingly, the tho malcontents arc gently yet firmly re strained. The bad time is got over with out robbing the wealthy to relieve tho indigent. The springt! of national pros perity Boo.i begin to flow again ; work . is plentiful, wages rise, nnd all is tranquil ty and cheerfulness. I have seen Eng land pass through three or four such sea sot s as I have just described. Through such seasons the United States will have to pass, in the cnurse of the uext ceutury, if not of this. How will you pass through them? I heartily wish you a good de liverance. But my reason ami withes1 are at war; and I cannot help foreboding the worst. It is quite plain that your I government, and has the rich, who are ! always a minority, absolutely at hs mer-1 cy. The day will come when, in the. State of New York, a Multitude of peo ple, none of whom has had more than half a breakfast, or expects to have more than half a dinner, will choose n Legislature. Is it possible to doubt what sort of Legislature will be chosen ? On one side is a statesman pn aching pa tience, respect for vested rights, strict oh servancc of public faith. On the. other is a di mngogue ranting about the tyr anny of capitalists and usurers, nnd ask ing why anybody should be permitted to drink champniguc, and ride in a carriage, while thousands of houest folks are in-, want of^ necessaries. Which of>" the iv& candidates is likely to be preferred by :a working man who henrs his children cry 6 r more bread? I seriously appre hend ed thut you will, in some such season of adversity as I have described, do thin, s which will prevent prosperity ftoin re turning; that you will net like \ eoplc who should in a ytor of scarcity, deveur all the seed corn, and thus make the t ext year not a vear of scarcity, but of abso lute famine. As I said be/bra when a nation has entered on this downward progress, cither civilization or liberty nui.-t perish. Either some Cresar or Na p deon will seize the reins of government with u strong hand or your republic will be as earfully plundered aud laid bare by barbarians in the twentieth century uh the Unman empire was in the fifth; with this difference, that the Hons und Van dals who ravaged the Hornau Empire, came from without, arid that your Huns and Vandals will have lasen engendered within your own country by your own institutions. Thinking thus, of. course, I cannot, reckon Jefferson among tho benefactors of mankind, I readily admit tbat bis intention was good, aud his abilities con siderable. Odious stories have been oirculated about his private life, but 1 d > not know on what evidence these sto ries rer>t ; and 1 think it probable that they are false or mortstrousiy exaggerat ed. 1 have no doubi that I shall derive both pleasure and information from your account of aim. I have the honor, to be, dear sir, Y'our faithful servant, T. B. MacauiUy. Interesting Case. An interesting nnd important case was argued before the Supreme court, all the Judges present, yesterday. The case was that of Richard McNaniee, appellant, ugattMt A. G. Waterbury aud others, re spondents; Finley A You mans, appel lant's attorneys; D. H. Chamberlain, Esq., of counsel, snd Carroll, Bacon & Carr, ibr respondents. The matter was before the court tor tho second time, the question uow being as to whether a Judge of Probate has Authority to grant, on the application of the persona) representative of the deceased, an order for the sale of real estate for the payment of debts on the failure of personal assets to meet the .-.uinc. The other incidental questions, | such as nuking ih* heirs of the decease^ ^i-artiejl to the partition, the technicality j of procedure, etc., having bean previous | ly disposed of, the argument was con fined to the simple question before stated Ca*c ant: proceedings were cited for the purpose of showing that the authority of the Court of Equity, under the old system, was sufficient to order the sale of real estate, upon the application of an ndministraior, for the puymcut 01 the *? '*? ?? debt* of bin intestate; that thin had nfever been questioned; that executors- and- ad ministrators of estates are regarded in j equity virtute oflicii trusteed?for the creditors, devisees, legatees, etc. It waM also argued, that from the old enactments and authorities, lands arc just as much subject to the course of administration of intestate estates -as personal property. The question now before, the court \\a whether the jurisdiction of the court of Equity on this subject, under the old sys tem, has been vested by tho existing con stitution and laws of this Statu in the present Probate courts. Argunicuts were affirmatively' submitted. It wus also stated that present title to valuable pro. perty rested exclusively on the basis that the Pr. lmte Judge had authority to order the sale ol real estate for the payment of debts, and that the titles so retting hud met with the unhesitating approval of eminent counsel. In other words, the authority exercised by the former court of Equity has been vested in the present Probate courts, by the act of LSAS, the only law of force when the present ens. originated. Contra arguments were sub mitted at length, when the court took the matter under consideration.?Columbia Union. FutKNiis ayi> Nkiuiiiiors: Ilaving recently opened n commodious estab lishment for the sale of ail the choic est liquors, im lud n ; M lager beer," :I infoim you that I have begun the bu?. '.sinets cd' making drunkards, paupers mid beggars for the sober industrious and re*peciublc to support. I shall deal in such spirits ns will ex cite men to riot, robbery nnd bloodshed, and by so doing dimmish the comforts, increase the expenses, nnd endanger the welfare of the community. I will un dertake, nt short notice, for a small sum, nnd with considerable expense on my part, to prepare inmates for thealmshouso, the prison, and the gallows. I will fur nish an article warranted to increase the amount of fatal accidents, nnd multiply the number of distressing diseases among men. I will snppl) a drink calculated to de prive some of life, many of reason, most of property and all of peace; which w Hi make fathvrs to act like mndmen; wives to be made worse than widows; children to become- double orphans, to grow up in ignorance, and prove a burden ami a curse to the nation. I will obstruct the progrefs of. religion, de lue the parity of the church, and cause temporal,spiritual and eternal death. And if any urc so impertinent ns to nsk why I bring such accumulated misery upon a comparatively hnppy \ people, im honest reply is, that I have a license giv en under the laws of the commonwealth, and thus 1 have purchased the right to ruin the character, -impair the health, shorten the lives, nnd destroy hoth the souls and bodies of men. I know it is written: "Thou shalt not kill;" that woe is pronounced upon him, that give'h strong drink to his neighbor, and that no drunkard shall enter tie.-' kingdom of heaven; and I do not ex pect that I, n drunkard-maker, will share u better fate. But what can I do If 1 must have money even at the expense of my soui. Do you not think I offer enough in return for the money ? Many times it will be more than my customers can conveniently carry. tOT Particular Notice,?J most af fectionately warn all ray. patrons to keep clear of the temperance men?mich as Sons of Temperance, OooVI Templars, members of the Temple of Honor, and i all other teetotalers, by whatever name! they uro known, as W$y you to sign the pledge,"sav< aud with it support ytfur fa't fort and resj^tabilit^rthus out of what you would spend at my es tablishment, I know what they have done and what they will do.
