MR. EVERETT'S SPEECH—EDUCATION—
CALIFORNIA.
The three Colleges of Mass achusetta have petitioned
| the Legislature that, when the school fund had reached
theJimit of one million of dollars prescribed by law, an
[other fund of one half a million should be allowed to ac
cumulate for the benefit of the Colleges, the subject was
referred ton Joint Committee, which appointed a meet
ing on the 7th inst., for a public hearing of the triends of
the measure in support of it. Prests. Hopkins, of
Williams, Hitchcock, of Amherst, and Sparks, of Har
vard, appeared in behalf of tin ir several institutions, and
lion. Edward Everett was invited to address the commit
tee in their behalf, which he did with charateristic force
and eloquence. Fro n a report, occupying some four
j columns ftho Buvnii Daily Advertiser, we make the
following extracts.
The j> iTiiry that Would confine the care of the State to
the Comm n Schools is mist successfully rebuked. Mr.
Everett regards the whole circle of educational institu
tion*; as one interest. Hear him:
For myself 1 admit, if the admission is desired, that a
good system of Common School Education is, next to
religious i’ fluences. ihe great and solid foundation of a
prosperous State. To build on any thing else is to build
on straw and stubble. I honor beyond all common names
of respect, the distinguished gentleman.(Horace Mann,)
who. for twelve years, has devoted the uncommon pow
ers of his miiul and the indomitable energy of his char
acter to this noble cause. He will be remembered till
the history of Massachusetts is forgotten, as one of her
greatest heat-‘factors.
I owe myself a large debt of gratitude to the Public
Schools,alt It mgh fifty years ago they were in a very tlif
f-Tt nt condition from what tin y* are now. My education
began at the free schools of my native village of Dorches
ter, (f>r village it then was,) and of this the beloved city
of my ad »p ii»n. The first distinction which crowned
my humble career was tin* Franklin medal at the read
ing scho 1 in N' r;h Ib nnett street,when 1 was not much
higher than that table; and if my mugue is ever silent,
when it ought to speak the praises of the Common
Schools of Massachusetts, may it never be heard with
f <vor in anv oilier case.
But mi ii lie necessary ? I know, Mr. Chairman, be
fore this audience it cannot be necessary, to argue the
cause of higher education, scientific and literary, form
ing as it di.es the best preparation for all the departments
of professional life;—f»r enlightened statesmanship, and
f<r an efficient a ('plication of philosophical principles to
the great industrial interests of the community. Who
d-.es not know, sir. that there is not a yard of cotton
cl th bleached or printed in the Commonwealth, without
assistance from'the last refinements of chemical research;
that you cannot construct a turbine water wheel but by
the aid of the highest mathematics, nor establish a uni
form standard of weights and measures without building
upon a series of geometrical operations which began with
llippa rebus.
The tables,by which thennvigator,—perhaps the illite
rate navigat r,—finds the ship's place at sea, aw writ
ten in the very depths of the starry heavens; and the
most learned eye for ages have strained themselves dim,
through glasses ».f wondrous tnechatnism, in decyphering
the mysterious characters. The electric telegraph which
brings you the daily news, is the last achievement of a
department of Physical Science, in which some of the
brightest intellects of the last hundred years from Frank
lm down have concentrated their powers of observation
and analysis. This step that may be taken by an uned
ucated man—may even be the work <>f chance—but the
grand rest!It is the product » f cultivated mind, strained
to the highest tension of its powers.
Wo hear of untaught men, Sir, of Franklin and Bow
dilch ; and heaven f »rbid that in the city where one
was born and tiie other died, their names should ever be
pruuounced but with veneration. But in the first place
to argue from the case of such menus Franklin and Bow
ditch to the -case of the generality of minds, would be
like putting a roguish boy apprentice to a wool-comber
in order that when he grows up lie might wiite another
Hamlet. 15 it what isa self taught man, and what does
tie (in : n i< not an untaught manjnor does ne g.» olaz
ing through life.like a locomotive engine in a dark night,
hv tlie light of his own intuition.
Sir, a self-taught man is naan of strong mind and a
strong will, whoundi-r diseouragments and in the face
of obstacles, acquires the rudiments of le*arning;and when
he has done so carries on and Completes it is education, bv
placing bis understanding in contact with the cultivated
intellect of o?her regions and other times. Franklin is
certainly a most favorable specimen of a self taught man.
lie was a great original interpreter of nature. The His
tory ot Science has nothing more sublime than the cour
age with which lie sent his armed kite into the thunder
cloud, and drew the elelctricspark with finger from the
key at the end of the card. Bui Franklin was a man of
books,—a studious man,—a friend of academical train
in?* * * *
1 he law of Duty is thus expounded :
But to the objection tha* School education is the in
terest of the many and College education the interest of
the few, my main answer is, that objection has not
t rined even a distant conception of the grounds of the
duty which devolves upon an enlightened State to edu
cate i‘schildren. Ho is thinking of individuals. He
forgets that it is the public, as such, the State, that
great complex,Socal Being,which we call Massachusetts,
the genial mother of them all.that it is her interest in the
[ matter which creates the duty; and which gives all its
imjKirtance to education, as an affair of public concern-I
merit, whether elementary nr academical. Ii is not to
teach one man’s bov his A, B, C, or ant'her tiian’s U»y
a little Latin and Greek*, for any advantage or emolu
ment ot his own. that tlie pilgrim fathers founded the
College or required the towns to support each it' School.
fat as individuals, many or few. are rone* rued.I have
j’l't as much natural right to call on the S ate to pay the
bill ot ttie tailor who clothes or the builder who shelters
my children.as ot the school master or school mistress, (
ill* tutor or professor win instructs them. The duty of
| educating the people rests on gn at public grounds, on
moral and political f •undations. Ft is deduced from the
intimate connection,which experience has shown to exist,
U'tween tlie public welfare and all the elements of nation
al prosperity on the one hand, and the enlightenment of
l the population on the other. In this point of view I say
it confidently. go <d College education for those who need
it and want it, is just as much the interest of the many
as g >ud School education. They are both the interest of
all:that is the whole community.ft is, of human things,the
1 highest interest of the State to put the means of obtain
ing a good School education and a good College education ,
within the reach of the largest number of her rhilderen.
The cotilcuding passages referring to the California
1 movementnt are exceedingly beautiful :
We hear much at present of the veins of gold which
. fire brought to light in evAry latitude of either hemis
, phere ; in tact, we hear of nothing else. But I care not
| \v iat mines may be opened in the North or in the South.
in the mountains of Siberia *»r the Sierras of California :
! wheresoever the fountains of the golden tide mav gush
forth, the s'reams will flow to the regions where eduea
] ted intellect has woven the boundless net work of the
j useful and ornamental arts. Yes. sir, if Massachutetts |
; remains true to the policy which has hitherto io the '
main Governed her legislation, and is not now I trust to
i he departed from, a generous wave of the golden tide will
I reach tier distant shores. Let others
Tempt icy seas where scares the waters roll,
Where clearer flames glow round the frozen pole :
Or under Southern skies exult their sails,
Led by new stars, and and borne by spicy gales,
For me
Ye«, for me, may poor old meky, sandy Massachusetts
exclaim, land as she is of the School, the Academy, and
I the ( olh-ge;—tend of the press, tlie lecture room and the
Church.
For me the halm shall bleed, and amber flaw,
The coral redden, and ilie rubv glow.
The pearly shell its lucid globe infold,
And Phipbus warm I lie ripening ore to gold.
It matters not if every pebble in the bed of the Sac
ramento were a diamond as big and ns precious as the .
mysterious K<> hi noor, which wenvtd of in the last ac
counts Iroin India, on whose possession the fate of. mpire i
is believed, in those benighted regions.to depend. It mat- *
ters not if this new Pactolus flow through a region,
which stretches for furlongs—a tract of solid gold. The
jewels at d the ingots will find their way to the great
centres of civilization, where cultivated mind gives birth
to the arts, and Ire*doni renders projerty secure. The
region itself to whien these fabulous treasures are attrac ,
ting the countless hosts of thrift, cupidity a id adventure
will derive, 1 fear, the smallest part of the benefit. Could
they be peopled entirely with emigrants, like the best of
those who have taken their departure from among us, and
who carry with litem an outfit of New England princi
pies and habits, it would he well; but much 1 fear the
gold region will fora long time be a scene «.f anarchy and
confusion, of violence and bloodshed, of bewildering gains
and maddening losses, of any thing but social happiues*,
and well regulated civil liberty.
if we will not be taught i>y any thing else, let us learn
of history. It was not M< xicu and Peru; nor (what it
imports us more to bear in mind) Portugal nor Spoilt,
which reaped the silver and golden harvest of the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries. It wasthe industrious,
enlightened, cultivated states of • the north and west of
Europe. It was little 1 Iolland,scarcely one-fit»h as large
as New England; hardly able to keep lier head above the
waters of the super ineumbeig ocean, with live uuiver
sides dotting her limited surface. It was England with i
her foundation schools, her indomitable, public opinion, !
her representative system, her twin universities, it was !
to these tree and enlightened countries, that the gohl and
silver fl iwed; not merely adding to the material wealtli’of
the community, but quickening the energy of the indus
trious classes, breaking down feudalism, furnishing the
sinews of war to the champions of protectant liberty, and
thus cheering them on to the great struggle. t> whose i
successful issue it is owing tn its remote effects under
Providence, that you, Sir, sit in safety beneath the c mopy
that overhangs this hall.
What tlie love of liberty, the care of education, and a
larg.^ and enlightened reg.rd for intellectual and moral
interests did for the parent state, they will do f r us.—
Th.-v will give us temporal prosperity: and with it what
i*s infinitely letter, n it only a name and a praise with ihe
contemporary nations who form with us the great proces
sion of liummiiy, but a name and a praise among enlight
ened men and enlightened states to the end of time.

REPORT
(’t the committee oj Agriculture and Vanvfacturet
Un the subject of appointing an Agricultural Che
mist and Mineralogist Jor the Slute if Virginia*
The committee «>n Agricultnre aud Manufactures, to
whom was referred the resolution of the House of del
egates instructing them to enquire into the expediency
of-appointing an Agricultural Chemist und Mineral
ogist on the plan of the State of Maryland, or such oth
er plan as may be suited to the wants of Virginia,”
have had Jhe same under consideration, and beg leave
resp ictfully to make the following lvport :
Your committee are satisfied that agriculture ranks
first in importance among the pursuits of mankind. It
supplies our most urgent wants, and contributes the
material \yhich, under the transforming hand of art,
ministers in w ays innumerable to our w ell being and
happiness. It is is the pursuit in which the great ma
jority of the people of \ lrginia are engaged ; and from
the character of our climate and soil, as w ell as our so
cial condition, it must continue so to be. It becomes
an object of high iuterest, therefore, to the representa- ’
tives of the people to contribute to its advancement by
such means as may be in their power.
The progress of science within the present century
has exerted a remarkable influence upon nearly all tho
arts oflife. It has abridged human labour by substi
tuting the forces of nature : it has economized time
and expense by teaching the principles upon which
the-operations of art depend : and it has elicited appli
cations of natural forces that are producing results
w hich future generations only can duly estimate. Ag
riculture, that art which is -the parent and precursor
of all other arts." lias been among the last to profit by
t lie discoveries of science. In England. Her m any and
France, however, an unwonted interest lias been awa
kened on the subject within the last few years, ai d
the productive powers of the soil have been increased
in a corresponding ratio. Even in our country and in
our ow n State, agriculture is beginning to reap the
benefits of enlightened observation and experience:
and the use ot calcareous manures has given a new
fertility to extensive districts. Observation may teach
the value of certain applications to the soil and of par
ticular modes of eulti\uiiou in a given loca’ity or dis
trict, but experiment may and generally will prove
that processes of amelioration which produce the most
beneficial result* upon one soil, are not equally well a
dapted to another. It belongs to science to enquire
into the nature of the soil : the adaptation of its con
stituents to the grow th of particular plants ; the forms
of combination in which these constituents exist ; the
means by which they are to he eliminated and present
ed in the most eligible form for supplying the wants of
vegetation : to suggest new methods of amelioration ;
and in general to deduce the principles upon which
fertilizing agents and processes depend; and to furnish
practical rules to guide the farmer in improving bis
[ands.
i ne applications oi geological ana cncmicai science
to agriculture, though just beginning to attract atten
tion, have yet produced results which give the most
cheering promises for the future. Among the points •
already well ascertained by scientific enquiries, are
the general character of the soil, resulting from a pre
vailing geological information, and the mineral con
stituents of many plants as determined from the analy
sis of their ashes. From these data the adaptation of a
eiven soil to particular agricultural products may read
ily bo determined, and the means, if any, of improving
such as are barren, indicated. < >f barren lands some
may be improved so as amply to repay the outlay :
some from‘their locality or other causes,may in the pre
sent state of our knowledge be irreclaimable. Science
can often point out their differences,and prevent the
waste of time and capital in making experiments which
may altogether fail of success, or at best imperfectly
accomplish the desired end.
Every agriculturist understands the importance of
the rotation of crops and of the fallow. Chemistry es
tablishes the principle upon which their beneficial ef
fects depend. The same plant will rarely flourish in
the same soil for a series t>f years in 5uccess!on,becau60
the constituent aliment supplying its healthful growth,
becomes exhausted, or ceases to be furnished in a form
suitable for assimilation. Hut the soil may still retain
an abundance of materials for the supply of plants of
other families. The agents adapted to the improve
ment of the soil, whether in the form of animal, vege
table or mineral manures, and fertilizing agencies,
such as drainage, irrigation, burning, and admixture
of the surface with the sub soil by deep ploughing,
furnish subject* of investigation of the highest inter
est t•> the practical farmer. To these much scientific
enquiry has of late been directed, and a great deal of
valuable information lias already been accumulated.
As processes of amelioration must often be depend
ent upon changes in the chemical constitution of the
soil, it is evident that science must, appealed to for the
rationatc of these changes, and for the discovery of
rules or principles to guide the agriculturalist in eco
nomical methods of bringing them about. The light
which existing chemical knowledge throws on the nat
ural processes of vegetation, and on the artificial meth
ods of practical agriculture, has awakened, wherever it
has spread, new hopes and new interest iu the cultiva
tors of the soil. Every day is adding to the number
and value of its revelations. Hut our agriculturists
cannot, without assistance, reap the benefits of them.
The great majority are deficient in the knowledge of
those principles on which their most important opera
tions depend, and the most intelligent find it impossi
ble to keep pace with the advancement of a science
which the professed and devoted chemist can scarcely
overtake.
Your committee, therefore, respectfully recommend
to the House of 1 telegates to follow the enlighted fore
cast of the State of Maryland, in appointing by law an
Agricultural Chemist for Virginia, under such regula
tions as may be suited to her localities and wants, and
in such manner as to dispense to the 1 arming inter
ests throughout the State an equal participation in the
benefits of his labour.
1 our COIllUliniLlf U arc UlUtCUU l PULi.-nt-v* mat mu
duties pertaining to the office of mineralogist are so
intimately blended with agricu'tural chemistry, that
the duties of both offices, hv the same person, will
cost hut one exploration of the State, and will add ve
ry much to the labors of the chemist,whilst the investi
gations and reports of a competent mineralogist must
disclose facts of incalculable importance. Virginia is
now urged by every consideration of duty and inter
est to afford facilities for transporting her varied min
eral sources: their depth and extent are imperfectly
known; the facilities proposed, if carried out, must
soon lead to their full development; and in order that
our citizens may not make unprofitable outlays of their
moneys.and tile public treasure expended in ill-judged
enterprises, your committee deem it of great Impor
tanee to the State at this time, to invoke the aid of
scientific enquiry on that subject, and that they there
fore recommend that the agricultural chemist porform
also the duties of mineralogist.
Your committee propose to present some brief
outline of their plan: with the means at. their com
mand, they cannot divide the State of Virginia, so as to
produce perfect equality in territorial limits and pop
ulation, nor do they deem it necessary; a sufficient ap
proximation to equality will he found in making four
divisions of the State; the tide water region being one:
the middle country between the head of tidewater and
the Blue Uidge being another; the valley country
between the ISluc Uidge and Alleghany being another,
and the trans-Alleghany region another, w ith a pro
vision that these four districts shall ascertain by lot,
(under the direction of the Governor and Council,)
numbered from one to four, as they may respectively
be so drawn, that the officer proposed to be created
shall discharge his duties (or ono year, beginning with
the district that shall draw number one, and so on an
nually afterwads, in each division, as they may be
respectively drawn, to number four: that the said officer
shall visit each county in each district, and divide his
time in each, regarding tciritory and population as
equally as may he: that lie shall make several analyses
of the soil in each county and each election precinct
therein,, nud after due notice to the inhabitant*) deliver
