The party got back to Pembroke about eight o'clock in the evening, just as the people were going home from church. This} (Monday) morning, when leaving, M: C. Cameron, Esq., made a speech Justifying the trip,--~that they were accountable to no one but themselves for what some might term the desecratdn of the Sabbath, that the glorious river, the grand stern racks, the majes- tic forest and many beauties of the scenery, were calculated tolinspire more love to God,and reverence toward the Hand that placed them; than the most eloquent sermon from the most eloquent Divine in any four walls bnilt by man's hands.' Is this sound logic? Is this a good ex- ample to give the people in the back woods about the manner of keeping God's holy day 7-- The raftsmen who cheered their speeches at Pe- tewawa, and the Indians who met them at Fort William, agd who scrambled for the money thrown them, will notice how little some of our statesmen think of God's command, and use this as a licanse to follow their own inclinations. -- Like the stream, so fs moral influence ; first the spring, then the river, ten the Ocean, boundless and fathomless. Tam afraid 1 am taking up too much of your valuable space, but I am sorry' to say that a large number of our Representatives did not * remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." We think that Mr. M. C. Cameron should have respect enongh for the law of the land, even if he 1s animated by no higher principle, to abstain from an open desecra- tion of the Sabbath, common courtesy de- mands that the people who wish to attend church on the Sabbath day, be not disturbed by a party of pleasure takers, returning from their revels, even though a number of M. P. P.'s are among them. If Mr. Cam- eron has no reverence for™ho day, he should have respect enough for the opinions of others, not to avempt to inculcate the the idea that, the sublime seenery of the Ottawa is a move powerful exponent of Di- vine truth, than the preaching of the g spel. We wish it 10 be understood that the tone of morality in North Ontario,is not so low as might be inferred from the conduct of the of the man who represents it, declaration of His Excellency, what the finances of the country were in a most satis- factory condition, the introduction of a scheme for a complete and radical change in our fiscal system, has certainly come unexpectedly, and taken vs completely by surprise. The unmerous protests which have been entered against the change, from every quarter, and by men of every political party, by protectionists and free traders, conservatives and reformers, are at least indicative of a feeling of deep rooted .aver- sion to sudden changes at all times, and against any change at the present, when We are apparently upon the eve of the ac- complishment of the scheme of confedora- tion, which will unquestionably involve the necessity of still further changes, to meet the requirements of a new state of political existance. Indeed it is not entirely upon the ground of the inopportunencss of the proposed change, that the measure meets with the most determined resistance. There can be no doubt, that our best business men believe that the adoption of the scheme will effect our manufacturing inerests most sensibly and most disastrously. The in- Crease of duties upon certain articles, and the imposition of an additional excise duty upon spirits," would perhaps have been ap- proved by all parties. But to remove the duties upon many articles which are manu- factured here, to take away without the slighlest warning, that « ineidental protec- tion' under which our manufiviories have been fostered into a respectable. standing, cannot be viewed, but with the deepest fegretand alarm. Jf the statement made by the Mayor of Montreal, that the adop- ton of Mr. Galt's proposal would drive at least 20,000 persons away from that city is correct, cr if we are to belidve the statements made by the principal manu- factures throughout the country, that the removal of the duties from many articles, as proposed would eompel them to close - their establishments, the most indiderent cannot be insensible to the disastrous eff cts of such a sweeping enactment, and no effor, should be spared 10 induce the Government to withdraw at feast for the present, a pio- position which has a tendency to exert so baneful an influence upon the manufactar- ng interests ofthe country. e discus- aion elicited upon the amendment of the member for Lincoln, proves most conclusive- ly that their is u powerful party within the house, to whom the propesed tenff is obnoxious, and nothing hut their emicome | anxiety, that nothing ehould intervene to tthe of the tion scheme, induces them to support the Government 1n thie movement. While they believe the changes to be inopportune, and many of the principles involved to be wrong, yet, #0 great is their desire to see <a ried forward, the prime object for which the Coalition was formed, that they chose to' support the Government, notwithstanding' their antipathy to.the scheme,and their.con- | viction of the injury which will be done in| many instances to our manufactures.

From personal observations, and from re- ports of parties well able to form a borrect opinion, we are satisfied that there never has beeu a batter prospect of an abandant harvest in North Ontario than at present. The Fall wheat (of which there was a great breadth sown,) suffered from frosts dur ing the winter, and was injured very much by cold rains in the spring, but it has to a considerable extent recovered and there will there was last. But the Spring crops are looking splendid, particularly wheat; barley and peas, of which there 1s likely to be a far larger yield than there was last year. The prospects are most encouraging to the farmers. We publish this week an address de- livered on Saturday last, by James Baird, Eeq., Local Superintendent of Schools, be- fore the Reach and Scugog Teachers' Asso- ciation. The address will richly pay foi a careful perusal, not by teachers alone, but by all who have at heart the best interests of the country. From his long experience, and ab ing, Mr. Baird 1s well qualified to give good advice to teachers, parents, and childrea on the subject of education. A THE 13TH OF JULY IN REACH. 1, aah The orangemen of this Township, on last Thursday, celebrated the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, at Saintfield, formerly known by the enphonious name of Frogtown. The brethren of the District, clothed in their regalia, following theijr banners, and preceded by (I believe) the Uxbridge brass band, with almost any amount of fifes and drums, presented a very fine app as they d the village. The celebration of the victory of William over James at the Boyne being rather an unusual occurrence at Sairitfield, and the people of the surrounding country being generally of the * good old stock," the Orangemen met with a most cordial re- ception and hearty welcome. Indeed too much cannot be said in praise of the Vil- lagers for the trouble they went to in erect- ing and ornamenting arches, and in making other arrangements indicative of their good will towards the ¢ Sons of William." Mr. Campbell, 00, of the Saintfield Hotel, de- serves great credit for having spared neither expense nor trouble in prepanng a' most excellent dinner consisting of a! the viands of the season. About noon those present began to enjoy themselves by marching through the village, listening to the music, engaging in swing- ing, and by assembling in the ball-room and ¢ tripping the light fantastic toe." Soon, however, dinner was announced, and then there was a rush for the tables, which, by the way, were set outside "under an awning formed of evergreens, &c. Ample justice having been done to the repast, the people returned to the amusements, at whieh they continued until a procession was formed, which marched to the woods to listen to those who had been invited to ad- dress them. Geo. Brabazon, Esq., having been called to the chair, the Rev. Mr. Gibson was in- troduced to the audience, Piety, Loyalty and Fidelity were the topics of his dis- course, and they were treated in a masterly manner. Rev, Mr. Simpson next delivered an excellent.address on Our Couniry and our Obligations, Dr. Knowlys, having been called on,. spoke of Orangeism and its position in Canada, Fenianism, the American flag, and the visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada ; subjects which, although incongruous, the Dr. connected in an admirable manner. Mr. W. W, Bates was our last speaker ; the subject of his address was the Advances of Orangism and the causes of that advancement. Cheers were given for the Queen, William Prince of Orange, the Volunteers, andthe speakers, | the procession was reformed, and marched again to the village. Soon after, the vari. ous lodges (seven in number) fell in behind itheig colors, and marched homeward, ali well satisfied with the day's proceedings. Itis a most pleasing consideration that under the efficient direetions of Mr. Geo. White and another gentleman (whose name I do not know), marshals of the day, thers was not the least disturbance amongst the brethren, but everything went off lively and harmoniously.-- Communicated.

I hesitate not to predict that this Association {5 destined, in the providence of God, to be the means of much good, not. to the teachers alone, but also to their schools, and through them, to generations yet un- born. I have not the slightest hesitation in asserting that, ere this Association has been twelve months in existerice, the advantages resulting from i to the Teachersthemselves, and through them to the youth committed to their charge, will be so palpable that neither teachers nor pupils will ba will be willing to forego the ailvantages conferred by the Association ; and I feel equally certain that we shall have the warm approbation and generous sympathies of every School section in Reach and Scugog ; and I do not believe that we have a Schapl Trustee in either Township wha would be willing to have his section deprived of the advantages arising from such un association. At its sessions ths most approved methods of teaching the various subjects taught in our common schools will be sought after, dis- cussed and tested by practical experiment, so that the discussion of tapies bearing di- rectly on the subject of common school edu- cation," the interchange of ideas, and the g sympathies of a cause cannot fail to render our meetings mutually beneficial to all concerned. Not only will we be individually benefited, but every school, whose teacher takes part in our meetings, will receive the benefit of the exercises of such meetings ; as these exer- cises shall have a direct bearing on the best manner of condueting our schools, As your President, however, let me re- mind you that the eyes of the community will be upon us ; the large majority looking on in kindly sympathy, and wishing us God speed ; While, doubtless, there may be some watching with indignant gaze, wait- ing anxiously far our halting, tall events we know that the youth of both townshi will closely observe our movements, and influenced, for good or for evil, by the . ex- ample we give them. Allow me then to entreat of you, once for all, toact on every occasion as members of the same noble brotherhood, 8s teachers and guardians of youth, bound together by the pore sentiments of friendship, and the ties of brotherly love. Never for a moment allowing the spirit of jealousy to arise in our minds, nor irritabili. ty of temper disgrace our discussions. We come here for mutual benefit; not to fight for our own particular modes or systems.-- The purpose of our meeting together is free and (riendly intercourse, secking (0 be bet- ter prepared, und more tully qualified for the discharge of those duties which, as teachers or superintendent we owe to our- selves, to snciely, and particalarly to the youth entrusted to our care. We simply seek the improvement of our own mind, and*an increase in our knowledge and skill; so that we, and, through vs, the schools over which we preside, may be both moral- ly and intellectoally improved thereby. Let the love of wisdom ocecppy the chief seal in our mind, that noblest of all jnepira- tions, the germ of all progress, the fountain of all the charities, the noblest incentive to inquiry, the essence of all philosophy, the source of all true greatness. While we are earnest in seeking, let vs be faithinl in exgmining ; ready to teach, but more anxious to be taught. The only rivalry among us should be who can most benefit the association, who can best dis- charge the duties of his office ; who can do most to forward the cause of popular educa- tion. If the Artmt after long years of persever- ing toil in cutting and carving the marble block into a thing of grace and beauty, and having succeeded to his satisfaction, dies content ; what should not he be willing to bear, todo, and to dare, whose business it is to train the immortal mind, to adorn it with the highest of moral principles; and to--en- kindle within it the heavenly fire of intelli- gence and hope. Consider for a moment who are the im- mediate objects of our ease, the prattling child gad the sprightly youth. We certan- ly have noble material to wotk upon ; the dispasitions that belong to' unperverted youth are really charming ; their generosi- ly is spontaneous, their sympathies are sin- cere, their tears of pity are genuine ; their souls unscathed by the world's biting blasts, their friendships frank *free and generous, unmixed with the alloy of hypocracy or the icy chillness of cold formality, The die ol life, around which cluster so many hopes and fears, has net yet been cast ; sad expe- rience has not exposed the delusions of the | dreams of youth; 'the world lies fair and green before him ; whilst far in the dis- tance [but what is distance to him] the-ye- wards of enterprize and success glitter n his view.

Our schools should be common in the same sense in which light, cr and water are common. ight communicated in our cemmon schools is intellectual: light ; and the water supplied there proceeds from the fountain of knowledge, of which the youthful invigorated for its noble career of future usefulness. Iam aware that it is asserted by many that it were better for some men if they had never received any education, that what they have got has anly proved 3 purso, that ihe who commit forgery could not do so if they had vot been educated, and that many other crimes might be mentioned which it is impossible for an uneducated man to commit. Now I distinetly deny that any educated man ever so prostitutes his faculties, because the proper use of our faculties is the very principal object and mim of education, and until that object has been gained, it matters not how highly in- structed an individual may be, he has not not yet been educated ; and further I believe thatany one who has been sufficiently in- structed sa ms (0 enable him to com- mit any of those more intricate crimes, 1 say that that man would be a highway rob- ber, a burglar, or an assassin if he had not been instructed. This brings to my recollec- tion an anecdote of a Grecian sailor,wbo was wrecked off the coast of Greece, and came pretty near being drowned. After his res- cue he went, according to the custom of his country, and got his portrait taken and pre- sented it to Neptune, the god of the sea, by hanging 1t up in his teraple as an offering of thanksgiving for his deli The priests commended the sailor for his grati- tude, showed him the large mumber of portraits already hung up as a proof of the power of the god in saving sailors from a walery grave, commenting at the same time rather severely an the ingratitude of those who had been sa rescyed, but had never presented their offering of thanks- giving. ¢ Yes,' replied the sajloy, f there is a large number here of the porirajs of those who have been rescued, but where' are the portraits of those who have been drowned." In like manner | would ask those objectors to point out the instances in which even instruction has proved a bless- ing. I will now proceed to make a few brief re- marks on the subject of text books; a sub- jeot which has heen rather fiercely discuss= ed of ate ; but so many gide jssnes have beeu brought in, so much' mud has been thrown into the little pure water, that the disputants have left the subject much worse than they fonnd if, That a strict uniformity in text books, in all onr schools 18 of the utmost importance no ane at all acquainted with school matters will attempt to deny. The classification of schoofs is impossible, where a uniformity of text- books does notaxist ; and, in the absence of classification, the school i# deprived of its collective character, in fact, it loses the pro- perty of a school gotivals, and resolves jt- self iuto a collection of promiscuons indi- viduals : and, in the same proportion, as you lessen the facilities for classification, ybu increase the teacher's labor and dimin- ish his usefainese ; his time becomes so much broken up and divided, that Le is obliged to forego all illustration, and as for owal instruction, it is entirely opt of the question under such circumstances. It is not only desirable that there should be a uniformity in each school, but that uniform- ity ound extend over every common sbhool throughout the Province. The gues tion naturally arises here what books should be felécted, and who should make the se- lection ? With regard to the manner of se- lecting the books, { believe you wijl all agree with me, that none but the most suitable books should be selected ; and that neither the name of the author, nor that of the publisher should have the slightest ef- fect in influencing the selection. The books best adapted to the purposes for which they are designed should alone be solected, irrespective of names or friendships ; and, ones selected, let the necessary compensa- ton be given to their authors, and let a fair field and no favor bo opened up for their publication. But what man, or set of men- should make this selection; is the next ques- tion that presents jtself ; and here allow me to remark, in passing, that while I am ready to admit that the school teacher may not be'the proper party to make such se- lection, I would unhesitatingly cast in the teeth of its author that slanderous assertion, as groundless as it is ungenerous, that if the school teacher were allowed to seiect books for his school, the chances are, that in con- sideration of a paltry present of a few books, or a small portion of the plunder, he wayld not hesitate to become she villanous tool in 'the 'hands of any wnscupalous bookseller, who might ofer the desired bribe, hy for eing the introduction into his school of such books as hie partner in guilt may de- sire, thus rendering himself a doubly dyed villain, at the contemplible price of a J ond 'books ; thus taking advanigge of the un- p g innocende of his pupils, to make thet ithe instraments by which he shall de- fraud their parents out of the amounts thus unnecessarily speqt on school books. do not believe there is a gohool teacher in aso hl py 4 mptibly mean as 1g! himself and degrade his profession in any siohway = > 7 2 Would it no! answer every purpose to let each County council name one man of course the most suitable that can be found jn the County, and let the parties so named form the selecting committee.

Let the minds of our youth be dyrected to a nobler ambition than that of the warior; let theirs be the exploits of peace, and the bloodless victories of reason and virtoe. These will exercise a benign influence ove: their sympathies and affections, will com- mand the smilp of joy for anothers prosperity, dnd the 1ear af pity for anothers woe, will warm the heart and lihe soul with awe and ce for the sub! and the infinite. While they are acquiring the rudiments of their education let the meipory bp well exer ciged, and the reasoning ppwers thorough- ly pulijyated ; thus you will place within Jour grasp a key to that knowledge which will put them 1n a position to obtain those treasures in comparisop to which gold is only a bauble. 1do not atjempt todeny that good instruction is sometimes en misap- plied as to become the food of a poor and rivalous vanity, swelling into self-sufficient pride of intellect ; the imagination becom- ing so morbidly excited, by thé indulgence of imaginary attainmente, that the posses- sor shrinks back in disgust from the sober realities and stern duties of evary day life, and seeks to drearp gway his exisienpe jn airy dreams and idle fancies. These, how- ever, are only the abuses, nat the uses, neither are they the natural results of good instruntion. Truth is the legitimate result of education, virtue, right and duty are its great objects. Certainly the nohle exergire of reason, the greates! of heayep's gifts, is designed only for worthy uses, notwith- standing the abuse to which erring and mistaken men may turn it. Every branch of proper education, every part of true knowledge beats plainly on its surface the evidence of its having been designed only for the benefit of mankind, ~ SII we do often find that even the wijse hag not wis- dom epopgh to uge his knowledge aright ; the toys and triffes of selfish aggradigement, coming immediately before liis eyes, shits out the magnificient prospeet of an exalted intellect, and blinds his eyes to all but self.
