ty, and is far more valuable to the student himself than if it had been gratuito0sly be- slowed by unknown hands. S3OOO have already been saved at the Oneida Institu- ton in this manner. In few years the whole expense of the original purchase and endowment of such an institution is reim- bnrsed to community by thHsSdvails of it's own operation. It is not difficult to see that the parent who is able to give his son an education would be a gainer in pecunia- ry point of view by giving a portion of his funds for the endowment of such anfnsti- tution, and sending his child to reap the benefit, rather than by paying tAe full e. mount of expense at an ordinary seminary. Those young mon, shut out from the hope of an education by their poverty, are here admitted to all its benefits through their own exertion. The indigent pious young man is here prepared for College, if desir- I ed, evenFo an advanced standing, with nc expense to public charity, leaving all the assistance of Education Societies to be ap- 1 piled to the completion of his preparation for the ministry.

 6. H aOiU do much to render labor repu- table.

 The existence of our national liberty is near its end when the toll and labor of the hands is considered a degradation. Let such spirit extensively prevail, and those only who are compelled to labor for hcir subsistence will be occupied, while the rest will look on with the pride of imagined superiority. It is left to the observation of all, whether many of the rising sons and daughters of our land are not growing Gp under the influence of this false opinion-- yea many whose circumstances can poorly sustain the result of its practical operation. This is conning to the illiterate all the physical power of the nation; and it is not difficult to sec how easily aspiring ambition may move the mighty mass, and guide it on in its reckless course to the destruction of our country's liberty. But let insttu- tions of the proposed nature spread through the land, and moral and physical force are blended in the same persons, and those whose intelligence aud wisdom influence the counsels of the nation are themseIvcs the bone and sinew of it's power. The in- fluence thus exertcd upon industry and en- terprise, which are the true sources of na- tional wealth and power, will an hundred fold more than repay all the expense of their establishment.

 These are some of the advantages which we expect with confidence will accompany the proposed establishment. They are nor the result of mere theory and speculation {; they have been tested by experience they have become facts, and are witnessed and enjoyed in many parts of our land. Man- ual labor, to a greater or less extent, is in- troduced in the following seminaries = Maine Wesleyan Seminary, Theological Seminary at Bangor, Christian School at Dexter, Gardiner Lyceum, Theological Seminary at Andover, Theological Semi- nary at Auburn, Polytechny School at Chiteningo, Oneida Institute at Whites town. Philadelphia Manual Labor Acade- my, Theological Seminary at Maryville, Tenn, College at Danville, Ky, Lane Seminary near Cincinnati, Ohio, one by the Cumberland Presbyterans in Kentuc- ky, and the Episcopal Self-Supporting School, Delaware.

 A letter received by one of the commit tee from Rev. GEORGE w. GALE, Princi- pal of ONEIDA INSTITUTE, says" The more you examine this subject, the more interest you will doubtless feel in it, and when you have seen as much of its happy effects as we have, you will think still more highly of it, am confident. Our students arc afraid of nothing in the shape of bu- siness no weather terriies them." In a letter to another of the committee, DR. YATES remarks--"I have only few scho- lars of that description, (yiz. labor connect ed with study,) in the PoLYTEcHNY, by reason of the unexpected endorsements that have impeded our operations, but these few are our choicest scholars" The Re- ports of other similar institutions speak the same language of decisive encouragement. IAc foltoaoing are the, proposed REGuLA-
