WALKER, Proprietor. College Studies We had the pleasure of an interview with President Daily, a few days since, and were furnished with a catalogue of the Indiana University. Notwithstanding the fire, the institution U in a flourishing condition. The present number of students U two hundred aid thirty ; we hope the number will soon be five hundred. The necessary funds have been raised, and the new buildings aro pro gressing rapidly. The course of study, as shown in the catalogue, embraces the Latin and Greek languages, as usual in most of our colleges. We avail ourselves of the occasion to throw out a few remarks, in sdl humility, on the study of the ancient classics, and to make a buggestion. This we do to elicit opinions from those better qualified to express them. Wo do not think that our readers will find" with an occasional digression.. from the, ..(vies. " . - "."- The "following are some of the arguments for a regular classical course in our colleges: 1. The Latin and Greek authors form, in themselves, a most valuable liody of litera ture. The day is past, indeed, when, as Ros coe informs us, the recovery of an ancient manuscript was equivalent to the conquest of a kingdom. Yet these authors are still the sceptred sovereigns of the realm of letters. An appreciation of the severe bjauty of the ancient models will tend to recess the slov enly, grotesque, and exaggerated style of thought and expression, with which much of modern literature abounds. The study of the poets, orators, and historians ot antiquity in translations will not accomplish this purpose. Like works of art, they cannot le rei nnluccd; they can only be imitated. The genius of Powers could not be understood his inspira tion could not be felt, by a copy of the Greek Slave in plaster, or even an imitation in mar ble. So with the classics. Their influence on the formation of char "acter has been beautifully described by Cicero in the Oration for the poet Arcthas. "How many delineations of the bravest of men, wrought out, not only for our contemplation, but also for our imitation, have both the Greek and Latin writers left to us. Placing these before my view, I have ever struggled, in my public career, to mould my feelings and thoughts by reflecting on the characters of those illustrious men." The whole oration is the most elegant plea for the study of the classics which, perhaps, has ever been written. 2. The ancient classics have an intimate and almost inseparable connection with mod ern literature. The poetry of Miltox, for example, is brimful of the classics. Allusions, adopted phrases, parallel passages are found on every page. So, with Pope, Drtdes, and others. Take from Milton's Minor Poems, if it were possible, the classical allusions, and you destroy the delicate aroma which gives them such exquisite fragrance to the culti vated taste. . the benefits of a complete classical training, J QjrWe recommend the following able ar and not be mocked by a shadow. 'tblo to the attentive perusal of onr readers. We know that students are allowed to omit the ancient languages, and take the agricultu ral course. Rut, we do not wish the amunt of study in the regular course to be dimin ished in the slightest degree, and we do wish the classics, when studied at all, to be studied more thoroughly than at present. Q7We have been asked if we would have Americans violate the neutrality laws ? Those laws have been considered by eminent men as an infringement of the fundamental rights of freemen. They foster a system of espionage which is, of all things, most hate ful to the Anglo Saxon r;cc. But apart from this view,'we answer that the insults and in juries of Spain to our flag and our citizens, and the intervention of European powers to aid the odious despotism in Cuba, have can celled all obligations to resect those laws. When the reason of a law ceases, the law it self ceases; this is a maxim older than Jrs TIXIAX. The neutrality laws wtto designed to oierate under a totally different state of circumstances. The law of nations has no supreme arbiter ; each state must judge for itself pf iU infractions, ami of the. mode and I wir government to determine for itself that, ly Ote acts of Spain, these neutraility laws were abrogated. It is the American doctrine, as old as Mr. Monroe, that the United States will not ier mit a protectorate to be established over Cuba by European powers. Yet that pnJecfaratt is at this moment existing ; English and French vessels insultingly flaunt their colors in sight of the coat of Florida ; and tfiey are thore, as Nicholas was in Hungary, to crush by the strong hand all revolutionary movements. The United States liave hmg ago declared that they will not allow such interference. This is no new doctrine ; it is the settled 11- icy of the government France and England have agreed to help Spain to hold Cuba; and the United States long since resolved that no such help should Ihj permitted. Tho crises has come when our government must stand up to its principles, and intervene to prevent intervention. Penalties for Usury. The following summary of the laws of the several States in relation to the legal interest on Money, taken from 7te Banker's Magazine for January, 1835, may be considered as relia ble. It differs materially from the statements heretofore published and now in circulation: r 3. Latin and Greek form the basis of the modern languages. It is said that any one, proposing to study Italian, Spanish or French, would find it a saving of labor to begin with Latin. 4. Philolgy, or the study of language, is, of itself, an important science. To the the logician it is indispensable. The Christian revelation has been made in Greek; and no inspired translation has been vouchsafed. To interpret the Divine oracles, it is necessary to understand the language in which they were given. - Again, our own English is essentially complex, consisting in its elements, of Anglo Saxon, Greek, and Latin. It would be as reasonable for a chemist to endeavor to become acquainted with the nature and properties of compound bodies, without resolving them into their constituent parts, as for a scholar to ex pect to obtain a critical acquaintance with English, without a previous knowledge of Greek and Lctin. Comparative philology, it is supposed, may throw light on the primitive history of man. 5. The study of the classics, in youth, is excellent mental discipline. Memory, asso ciation, and indeed all the faculties of the mind are well exercised. The above are some of the reasons urged in favor of a classical course. In reply, it is alledged : 1. Mental discipline may just as well le derived from other studies of a more practi cal and useful kind studies which come home to mens' business and bosoms. 2. Although the ancient literature may be good, it is, certainly, not better than the Eng lish and German. Whatever can raise the genius, or can mend the heart, may be found in profusion in the standard authors of our own tongue. Shakspeare is better than Sophocles; Prescott is superior to Livy. 3. Although classical illusions are inti mately blended with some portions of modern literature, this habit is every day loosening ; and an ordinary classical dictionary is sufti cient to explain whatever is worth explana tion. 4. Philology, or the study of words, may be good as a speciality. But life is short, and iu a general course to fit young men for use fulness, it ia out of place. 5. Not more than one student in ten of those who spend, perhaps, seven or eight years of most precious time on the classics, derive any permanent impression from them. Their day3 are occupied in learning to read, instead of reading to learu. When they en ter activo liTe, they never think of their youth ful studies again, except as a nuisance. A man of business who returns to the classics, iu this century, would be considered as sin gular aa the old Baron Bradwardine, in Wa- verly, who suffered himself to be retaken a prisoner after having made his escape, because, in his flight, he had unfortunately forgotten his Livy, and he could not make up his mind to leave it behind him. Such, we, think, is a fair statement of the case on both sides. Our suggestion s, that the Greek and Latin languages be taken from jthe regular course which is necessary to obtain a degree, and be made a special department, like law and theol ogy. The advantages are two-fold. Other studies may be substituted, in the regular course, which the student will have time to learn tliorougldy. The course, in the special department o the classics, may be greatly enlarged, so that those who go through it will, in truth, receive LepU (Tate. rate: per cent Maine........ 6 N. Hampshire.

This m3Tsterious order, like Jonah's gourd, sprung up in a night ; and so vivid have been its juvenile impressions, that it still retains a loudness for darkness, and blooms and flour ishes only in the night. To use a geological term, it is a conglomerate, and nothing but the adhesive wcr of loaves and fishes keeps it from swift decay. There is an old pro verb that " a new broom sweet clean," and this new broom did certainly do an awful amount of sweeping ; but its fury lias, in a measure, wasted its strength. Starting out with the motto, "None but Americans should rule America," and preceded by a flourish of trumiets, having for its oiillamme the star spangled banner it rather dazzled the eyes of the unsuspecting and the ignorant, who were swept en masse into its arms. pl- Hatred of i'apacy is one of its leading d.X'trinea. " What !" say its members, " shall an imWile old dotard at Rome give laws to America? Shall this glorious Republic be subject to the tiara ? Never ! " "Hut how," says some patriotic Catholic, "can you make out the truth of such a statement ? We are Catholics, it is true ; we believe his Holiness to Ik?

American blood shall not bo shed upon American soil with impunity. The valiant mob frightened some dozen or two Irish apple women and Dutch broom girls. The body of the murdered man is laid in state; funeral sermons are preached over him, in which the motto, dulce et decorum est pro patria won, is frequently put in; a largo and long procession of indig ant and weeping natives follow the defunct victim, over whom is thrown the American flag, that flag which has so often been lorne at the head of our victorious armies, and has so often floated at the mast head of our vic torious ships, lairnc in a just and righteous cause ; that flag to Ik) laid upon the liody of the victim of si drunken row ujon the hearse is painted his dying words, " die a true American ;" and It ill Poolf, the New York killer is placed side bv side with Washixgtox, Jefferson an,i Warrex, and he is reverenced as a martyr.

In Texas, twelve per cent may be charged on special con tracts. Spring Crops. We find tho following timely and sensible remarks on Spring Crojts in the Pittsburgh Gazette, and earnestly recommend them to the attentive perusal of our numerous country readers: The papers, east and west are calling on the farmers to put in large cropsof breadstuff this spring. We join in tho call. The wheatf crop may be good and a largo one, although much less is growing in Ohio than usual, and the intelligence from Maryland, Virginia and Eastern Pennsylvania is not favorable ; but even if it should be the greatest crop ever grown, that should not deter any one fiom covering the ground with spring crojw to the fullest extent jossible. The country is fast draining of its bread-stuffs, and by harvest time there will ha nothing left This is an event of which we have no precedent Year after year we have had the enjoyment of a surplus left over, and we have not known what it is to have every nook and comer overhauled for supplies, and hungry eyes turned forward to the growing gram. An ordinary crop ill not suffice to meet our own wants, much less those of other na tions. We must therefore take advantage of the opening spring and appropriate every availa ble acre to the glowing of spring wheat (where seed can lo obtained,) potatoes, corn, and whatever else may serve as a sulwtitute for wheat Corn is the great stand-by of the west when other grains fail, and there ia no lack of seed for that crop. It ought to be planted suirabundantly. Farmers need not fear low juices. The next year will furnish abundant demand for all that the soil can pro duce. It is famine and starvation prices that we have to fear, and not a glutted market. Our country readers will hardly need to be argued with on this score. Thev have en dured a winter too terrible in its exjieriences to warrant them in running the risk of an other, if they can avoid it The only remedy before them is to put in plenteous spring crops. The dry fall prevented them from getting in wheat freely, and they must not rely upon what tho far west may produce to make up for their lack. Let them cover every spot they can occupy with something that will do for the sustenance of man or least, or both. Five Qpestioxs. Did Protestantism suffer when Catholic France sold to the United States the territory of Louisiana? Did Protestantism sutler when Catholic Spain sold to the United States the territory of Florida? Did Protestantism suffer when Catholic Mexico ceded to the United States the tcrri toiv of California? Would Protestantism suffer were Catholic Spain to sell to the United States the Island ofCnl-a? If Cuba, by a revolution were to gain its in dependence, would not the course now pur sued by the Know Nothings, deter her from annexation to this country, when her religion is maie a ground oi disquaimcation in the ad ministration of the government?

We recollect seeing a reply of au anti-Know Nothing to a member of the virtuous order the K. N. said that if his party had done no other good thing it had purified parties. Yes, said the anti, and if you would take the same sort of beings and the same number from Hell, I have no doubt but you would purify it. The recent riots iu Cincinnati show how much the virtuous or der has done away with corruption; they have given up bribery to use violence. They have shown their Americanism in Massachusetts, by putting out of office a man who simply dis charged his duty to his country, by obeying its laws. They don't like Catholic priests, but they worship Theodore Parker. Know Nothingism has a broad, and we may say a strange platform. On one end we see Loyo Garrison, Wf.xdat. Phii.mw, Fred erick Doi-olass, and others of that stamp, crying disunion, because slavery exists in the South, and on the other, men of the most ul tra pro-slavery principles crying disunion lo calise Abolitionism, exists at the North ; but they all shake hands over anti-papacy and anti-foreign voting.

In early Colonial times, the same spirit of fanaticism, which actuates the virtu ous order now ; burned and tortured defence less old women ; cropped the ears of Qua kers ; persecuted Anabaptists ; prevented a man from kissing his wife on Sunday, and made men hypocrites. In latter, later days, its fruits in Massachusetts, are the burning of the Ursuline Convent ; the ousting of Judge Loring, because he did his duty, and the late very valiant act of the .Committee of Inves tigation of the Massachusetts Legislature, of intruding upon the privacy of defenceless females, and very bravely inspecting their wardroles. In New York, it has desecrated the Amer ican flag, by throwing it over the liody of a dead rowdy, and ihas canonized Bill Poole. In Pennsylvania, it has burned churches, and murdered inoffsnsive citizens. In Ohio, it has again desecrated the Amer ican flag; it has hired ruffins to drive away honest men from the jndls, and again mur dered peaceable men. These are the only opportunities it has had of displaying itself, and 'such have been its fruits. These are the effects of that virtuous, high-minded, light-shunning, purifying order; this order which has dared to be the champ ion of a religion which is peace-giving to all men. Well may its signals of meetings be bloody bits of paper. Born in darkness; cradled in gloom and obscurity ; reveling in the black ness of mid-night; shunning the gaze of honest men ; dealing in treachery ; loving intes tine war and broils; having for its saints, men of the worst character, and bearing for its fruits, the blood of the citizens of the Repub lic. And this is the order which calls upon Native Americans to give it their support Think of it Americans ; ponder over it Look at it in every possible iint of view ; look at the goal which it has done, and cast your votes according!, iryou wish this gov ernment to be the creature'of an order infi natoly worse than that club of Butchers, of which Robespierre was a leader, then sus tain this virtuous order; but if you wish this glorious republic to be what it was intended to be the home of liberty, of freedom, and of peace.

We, their de scendants, were here lrn,but had they not immigrated, we would have been foreigners. Anil now, we, who have h id the good fortune to be born Americans, shall we deny that in estimable privilege to others, by denying to foreigners the right to settle. To be sure, i the Know Nothings disclaim that they would keep out foreigners, but they refuse them the right of citizens ; and what would be the glory of being an American without being a I citizen. Some of the most rabid Know No thing are the sons of foreigners. We could name a certain high functionary, of a State not a thousand miles from this city, who is a very wool-dyed Know Nothing, and whose m silence.

Nothing, in short, can prevent an extent of disaster compared to w hich the vulsion of last year was a mere frolic. All the men who are concerned in the ia nor business are likewise stockholders in banks and other financial enteprise; if their means are taken from them, all must suffer together, and twenty thousand will be a mere trifle to the number of men who will be thrown out of employment, and placed on the high road to starvation.

A recent correspondent of the Tribune has been re-publishing some of his severties on aristocratic nothingness which we subjoin:. ' "The State, left to shape itself by Jim pe dantries and traditions, without distinctness of conviction, or purpose beyond that of help ing itself over thc difficulty of the hour, has liecome, instead of a luminous vitality per meating with its light all provinces of our affairs, a most monstrous agglomerate of inan ities,, as little adapted for the actnal wants of a modern community as the worst citizen need wish. The thing it is doing is by no meanst he thing we want to have done. What we want! Let the dullest British man endeavor to raise in his mind this ;-iestion, and ask himself in sincerity what the British nations want at this time. Is it to have, with endless jargoning, debating, motioning, and counter-motioning, a settlement affected between the Honorable Mr. This and the Honorable Mr. That, as to their respective pretentions to ride the high horse? Really it is uni nportant which of them ride it. If our Government is to 1 a no-Government, what does it matter who ad ministers it ?

" I wish Felicissimus were saddle sick for ever and a day! He is a dreadful object, however much we maybe used to him. If the horse had not lcen bred and broken in, for a thousand years, by real riders and horse snUluers, erhaps thc lcst and bravest the world ever saw, what would have Income of him and Felicissimus long sinco ? This horse, by second nature, respects all Princes ; gal lops, if never so madly, on the highways alone ; seems to me, of late, like a desperate Sleswick thunder-horse, w ho has lost his way galloping in the labyrinthic lanes of a woody, flat country ; passionate to reach his goal ; unable to reach it, lecause in tho flat leafy lanes there is noVmt-look whatever, and in the bridel there is no guidance whatever. So he gallop stormfully along, thinking it is for ward and forward ; and alas, it is only round and round out of one lane into another. Nay, (according to some,) he mistakes his own footprints, which, of courso, grow ever more numerous, for thc sign of a more and more frequented road ; and his dispair is horfrly increasing. My impression is, he is certain soon, such is the growth of his neces sity and his dispair, to plnnge across the fence, into an open survey of the country, and to sweep Felicissimus off his liack and comb him away very tragically in the process : Poor Sleswieker, I wish you were letter ridden."

The following favorable picture wc take rrom the Jnttmal of fmmeice. W do r.ot endorse it, for wo do not kr.ow how much truth there is in it. But it is worth rending: Austria is an ambitious nation, but, for half a century, her jnvur has leen hermetically sealed from all external development, by the successive encroachments of Catharine, Paul, Alexander and Nicholas. Mr. Phinn clearly demonstrated, in tho able speech which he delivered, in the House of Commons, on the 27th nit., that even the extension of Austrian territory by the acquisition of a ortion of Po land, was in direct contradiction to the poli cyof the House of Hapslnirg, and has been considered a calamity to the Empire, by all its leading statesmen, from the days of Maria Theresa down to Prince Mettemich. Much has loen said concerning the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Poland ; but it is proba ble that no monarch in Europe has this end more at heart than Francis Joseph IL An Inde)ndjnt Kingdom of Poland, to be gov erned by a priucc of his own house, is said to have ltccn from his loyhood, one of the day dreams of tho gifted young Emjeror. This would create an effectual barrier against the encroachments of Russian ambition to wards the West, and is, erhaps, the only ar rangement that could 1 made, which, when well considered, will satisfy the requirements of Europe, and lav the foundations for future development and freedom in Germany. It would be gladly assented to by the Poles thcmclvs; if properlr modified, it would encounter no obstacles' from England or France, and no time could be more auspicious than the present for the accomplishment of such a scheme. It hasleeii wisely remarked that the con test now going on in Europe has more than one aspect it is not only a question whether Europe shall be despotic or constitutional, Cossack or Republican, but commercial or anti-commercial. Austria has, of late, under the enlightening influence of the plebeian Bach government, been brought, in a remark able decree, within the system of commercial Europe. In lS18-'0, there were two parties in Austria; thc one favorable to the simple sup pression of the revolutionary movement, and the other strenuously advocating such mate rial relormsns would tend to supercede the desire and necessity of revolutions. The young Emperor threw himself warmly into the anus of the latter party, and the influence of its policy has leen continually increasing from that day to this. The first essential step was, to retrieve the exhausted finances of tlnf Empire. It is yell known how this was done. By the fifty million florin loan, and the hypothecation of the Hungarian Railroads, a large portion of the floating debt was extin guished; provision was made for raising mon ey and paying dividends on tho existing stork, and a large fund was supplied for the wants of tho future. In 1818, measures were pm losed by the revolutionary rarty to suppress the feudal rights of the nobles. - The restor ed Imerial Government, far from reversing this progressive movement has continued measures which render all subjects equal in the eyes of the law; the German civil cod, resuscitated in 1848. Restrictions on com merce have been evciy where removed; al net-Work of railroads has been pushed across Hungary, even to Temcsvar; the annual x oits cf that kingdom have, within six years increased nearly forty jht cent ; and under this liWral system, Austria, to its most East ern extremity, has liecome annexed to com mercial Euro?, and Bohemia placed on the highway from the Atlantic to Asia. Tho stitcsman-likc sagacity of the new regim in Austria has thus forever dissolved her con nection with the anti -commercial despotisms of Euroe. A short but energetic adminis tration has already closely united her with progressive nations, and she is tilled with an enthusiasm for the" policy she has adopted, which is the surest of all guarantees for her faithfullness to the Allies, and persevering hostility to thc antagonistic course of Rus sia, OfWe extract thc following from a long and interesting letter m the lurl numWr of th Uniform Weiohts ani Mkasi'bf.s. The suits at law in our courts, caused by different tandard of weights and masures, show the necessitv of having one uniform standard fixed y the United States government, and of ro ealini all State laws on the subject. The Sttte of Pennsylvania, by fixing 2n pounds as a ton weight, acted consistently with the Kliey which ought to govern the united States authorities on this subject Congress ad gone one great step towards adopting dec- ma! quantities when it fixed the dime at ten cents, the dollar at one hundred cents, the eagle at one thousand. It ought to go the whole distance now, in a matter of so much mblic convenience, making all tho weights and measures of the conntry conform to one uniform standard, anil that based iiwn dec imal quantities. 1 his is far more important to tho tnie interests of business than one- ialf the legislation of Congress, and w hope that some liberal-minded member will intro duce the subject into that lxnly at the next session. How much more admirable the bus iness of the world would be transacted, and with what a relief from mistakes and losses, if every government were to adopt the same standard of weights, and the same measures of capacity and value, by adopting the dec imal system throughout fume Ledger.

Touching the cotton and corn crojis, a large pitch has been made, and with a favorble sea son a far letter yield may Iks anticipated than the last vear. Among the cheering indications of these times is thc advance'ment' of female educa tion; yet our field for improvement is indeed vast, and the sod is scarcely broken. It is questionable now whether the Metho dists of Indiana and of the west have been sufficiently comprehensive in their systems of education. Our own Asbury University is a glorious monument of our enterprise and liberality; it might have cen in a little tat ter jiosition, and ought to havo Wen organized so as to admit males and females to its privi leges and honors. It is little less than dis graceful to us that while w have made such noble provision for our sons, w have al most made none for our daughters. True, we have some gtod schovds, but wo ought to have built the first male and female university of the west As a Irnsteo of Asbury University I am prejwired to vote to admit females to its classes ujon an equality with the young men. We ought to have placed thc University at the capital, as nearly very lwdy lelie ves now, and many would lift tip both hands, thank God, and take courage, if it could go there yet It was one grand mistake, and can only bo remedied by resolving to make Greencas tlo a kind of Oxford to Indiana Methodism a place of learning, refinement, and high moral culture. They have no particular ad vantages for female education there, for the old hunkei ism of thc population of Putnam county has hitherto refused to contribute with sufficient liberality to build up a good female college at Grceneastle. There is hojc, however, th;.t there will bo some expansion in this direction. If tho people are wise they will not let this matter sleep much lon ger. It would bo a most capital idea to build 'up there a first class female college, anil their sons and daughters lioth might lo educated there. We hope that Grceneastle may, after awhile, stand second to no town in tho coun try for intelligence, refinement, lilierality and sympathy with tho cause of education.
