The vctcrn journalist, who writes for the ('ill, and whose large abilities and great ex-j-rienco we hapten to acknowledge, wrote and published in his jiaitcr of the 17th, (or the paiicr he eilited) a very indiscreet article in criticism of the action of tlic propcrly.vt-11--iiliil.il luxly, chosen by, and representing the Bcjmhlicnii party of Kansas.

Now, it -cciiis to tii very strange, when we think he Limns the facts in the case right well, that anything could encourage luin to make the a-saull he has upon the only organization in the Slate, or that has ever Ijccii in it, or that hi. existed elsewhere in the ration, that is iirnvdl, in its organized character, by the ..'id of that part of the jeode whose aspiration-:, in the main, arc toward the more per fect social and goveriiuicntal compact. Let it Ijc distinctly rciuciiiljcrcd, that the Convention at Topeka, theb'th lilt., dijioscd of Mr. Sidney Clarke, as a jiarty institution. That Convention, it would lie v. ell for Colonel Vaughan to rcineiiiljcr, also deci ded fur the Ucptiblican party, that its honot, toiling, reading and right-feeling, and riglit lliinkiug memljcrs, would no longer submit to the misrepresentation, in the character of their servants in the State and national gov i riimcnls, of the quality of their moral thought and conviction, of their sense of right action and truthful utterance. Colo n -1 Vaughan champions Sidney Clarke. He is helping with his bugle blast to gather the motley and demagogue elan who arc in favor of continuing in power men who garner nut of the saving of the well paid service of the servants of the people of Kan-a, in the national legislature, hundreds of thousands of acres of land six or nine years, lie is in favor a life-time advocate, as he is of the underlying principle of human rights and a standard of public morality, of making chaos in the great Kepublican , ... piny to Miijscrve llic na-e purposes of men who, by their numerous cor ruptions and plundering in public office, have justified the inference drawn by ob servers abroad, that the jieople of Kansas are the grandest villiaiis in the country. This 5 our indictment of the editor of the Call. Now let us justify the presentation by a simple statement of the facts. Mr. Clarke, now Congressman, representing in the lower house of the national legis lature the whole jjcople of Kansas, a place he has held for six years, had ac quired large jtower in the direction of the party machinery of tbc State through the proper inllucnce that his Ksition gave him, but more especially because of the tm; of the improper and corrupt influences that his place enabled him to command. He pro posed to continue himself in his present office. Not content with oflering himself as a can didate iiihjii his merits, and upon the record ofhis miblic services, lie compelled the ailvo-c-icy and the needed cash contributions on the part of even- Federal officeholder in the State, and he alo secured through a com munity of interest in unholy official mis deeds and transactions, the earnest and open co-ojjeration of the old United Suites Senator, the grand old farmer of Muscotah. 2Co le gitimate urgency of his claim, no measure of illegitimate practices, was, left unused by him in his struggle to secure hut renomination by the late Republican Convention, for Con gress. The higher and Kftcr elements of our great party prevailed. Mr. Clarke w.is signally defeated by the Kepublican party r txuijc. It was the formal dichargeof this gentleman from further service in an official rapacity. It was his duly thereafter, if he is what he mi noisily pronouiuxd himself to !, a KcimbHean. to acccjjt of this verdict and tlep quietly down into the ranks of the party. Instead of so regarding the verdict of the party and so conducting himself, he immediately set him self and his partisans at work to divide and distract the party in the nomination of if-. candidates for the Legislature, with a view to secure, out of the confusion tliat he might create, tbc election of himself to the United States Senate the next session of the Legisla ture. It is the simple duty of the State Central Committee to organize and run the cam paign after the methods plainly indicated by the expressions of the Convention which placed them in their position of responsibil ity and trust. They undertake to do that duty in that way. Sidney Clarke, for the reasons stated and indicated, objects to their way of discharging .SI.EY CLARITS CARS. Wc have imblished the letter issued by the Executive Committee of the Kcpublicari State Central Committee, directed to the ullicc holders; the card of. the -Hon. Sidney Clarke in reply to it, which appeared in day lieore yesterday's Tt'dmnc (Lawrence); and abo 1). It. Anthony's rejoinder. AVc, purpose to notice 3Ir. Clarke's reply to the letter, and, before we conclude our men tion in this ljehalf, wc 'will very likely have something to say about the criticism of the Ti ibunt, of this ipcr emulating from the State Central Committee. Mr. Clarke, in the first paragraph of his "card," indicates the quality of his conduct in the business discussed by the Central Committee in their letter. He pronounces the statements made therein, so far as they relate to him, to be unqualifiedly false. The central accusation he virtually admits. He did not respond to the assessment. Second, we find noth ing in the letter of the Committee under review, nor will our readers, about Mr. Clark's course tqion public measures of large moment to the people of Kansas, in his official character. What rpecific charge made against him has he denied? Please, Mr. editor of the Tribune, point it out. We have showed as conclusively as the accurate applications of the rules of logic in the state ment ofa case will enable us to, that he has made a mUfakc in the very outset. He pro nounces the statement of the letter of the committee unqualifiedly false, so far as they touch him. Let us repeat. The first charge is that he refused to respond to the moderate demands of the Committee, or to pay any tldny toward paying the necessary expenses of making a canvass of the State. That in validates the whole denial, when no one better than Sidney himself knows how true every charge that is made against him in the letter of the Com mittee, Is, and so he purposely avoids direct denial and runs into eloquent stump speech making to keep Iiack the inflowing tide, which is set in against his political fortune, and which will whelm him and his few friends if they don't learn to do right. "Walk up rightly and tell the truth. Wc tell him now that we will make the charges of the Central Committee against him sjiecific if he invites such an exposure and the consequent discussion, lie is out of the republican heavens for the present, and it is well that he should !c told so frequently. He is one of the lights tliat have gone ljeyond the hor izon. He should not lie contending against the inevitable. The laws of the universe must lie respected. Sidney fare thee well. Now Mr. Tribune, a wonl with you. You go o!T into heroics' over the attempt of the present State Central Committee to bring the party management back to some thing more nearly showing its harmony of action with its professed principles. You stop one minute anil think. Mr. Sidney Clarke h no more nor no less than any other man w ho votes the Republican ticket. For the ynod that he winy do in his charac ter as a citizen for the people among whom he dwells, wc shall not lie backward in noting. For the wise words that he may utter that look tons asthougli they were calculated tnurge and help the race in its upward way, we shall al so quickly and pnqierly advertise. Kut wc take notice of him in no other light at present than as a. great political shyster for whose misdeeds the Kepublican party are in no wise resiKinvible, and for which they fliall hU be made responsible if wc can prevent it. Mr. Anthony in this matter does not need our defense. The parly, in the same Con vention ihM repudiated Mr. Clarke, put Mr. Anthony in his present position of Chairman of the Republican Slate Central Committee. He is not a lunatic, as the gentleman who indulges in such aspersion will remember (to correct). lie goes straight at the work. He understands, as do the other members of the Committee, what is ncces-ary to be done, to Fccure, so far as it is pos sible to do so, the permanent success of the Kepublican party. The Committee arc working for the success of the highest inter ests of an organization which seems to be made up of the advanced mind of the times. Mr. Clarke is no other than a private citizen in the estimation of tills Committee, except in the worth of his assessment. About this wc have this much to say. While wc depre cate the necessity that seems to exist at pres ent for the raising of quite a large amount of money to defray the unavoidable expenses of conducting a campaign, wc never theless recognize the wholecomcncss, the liealtlifulness of the practice of charging a good sll:ln; 0f SHC, expense pgainst the greedy seekers and gciten of office. We took occasion to cxprosfer belief, or opinion, that the KsitdfiMiiciit made upon Mr. Clarke waA moderate, exceedingly so, when wc con- siir, that by the exceptional partiality of the iwrty, Mr. Clarke has been kept in office, w Inch pays the incumbent from Kansas, in cluding mileage, about $5,000 jier annum, over six years, and that he had amassed out of the pay for that term of service, one hun dred thousand dollars, after joying the cx-IK-nscs of keeping a family in Lawrence, and defraying the necessary expenses of a jovial and Insurious life in Washington. o'clock, it Jjeing very dark, the pilot missed the channel uf-tliciiarfaur, awl-the. veaal-l sirucK inc greanu anowomorouiucBsiiojjc.'

And the Free State men were humiliated in seeing their "President of the Committee of Vigilance and com mander of the Free State forces," with coat and they received it with shouts of "bully for Parson White," and left town proud of their conquest. It was to this time doubtless Mr Pomeroy refers when he says "I was so mad I could have been banged nine times with out winking." The drouth of 1800 was a rich harvest to tlic "Iiev. George- White," and gave Mr. Pomeroy an opportunity to barter the donations of a generous people, given to rob death of its trophies among a people who had suffered everything for a principle, for a promise to snpport him for United States Senator, and he embraced it. To these were added to the haters of Gcu Lane, which made a Legislative force that elected him to the Senate, not because they admired him, but because they hated Gen. Line. Mr. Pomeroy has now been a member of the Sen ate for nearly ten years, and has lived in the most economical manner, both while at Washington and Boston, during that' time, so much so, that out of a salary of about five thousand dollars a year, he has managed to save enough, so that to-day, he is worth two millions of dollars, all made iu the last ten years, for he was a paiqcr when he was elected Senator.

How suggestive arc the lines of Burns, as we read Senator Pomeroy's contribution in the New York Ledger, "( va 1 sjiua i jwer t!ic ciftlc si' a. To sec "iirscfs as others sve us." Still I suppose a Senator has a right to blow his own horn. He savs, "on the 15th of Scptcmlicr we (Pomeroy and his party,) halted upon the present site of the city of Lawrence One settler only, had got there in advance of us'' when the facts are, Gov. Charles Robinson came there with a party of emigrants and made the settlement long before Mr. Pomeroy had left his quiet home in New England. Gov. Robinson crossed through this coun try on his way to California in IS-1'J, and ramped "n what is now the town site of Law rence, and, as he save, was impressed with i'.s beaut v of scencrv and elligibilitv as a site for a city. He returned to New England ami was known as a man of daring spirit and of terrible tenacity in his adhearanee to the principles of free governments and free men. Very early after the first stejis were taken to organize the Emigrant Aid So ciety, Got. Robinson was selected to visit Kansas, and report upon the feasibility of making settlements under its auspices. He come, returned, reported and was im iiiciliatcry sent kick with a party and settled what is now the city of l.-iwrencc. When no danger was apprehended Mr. Pomeroy started with a party and come to the settle ment already made by Governor Robinson, left his partv and returned to New Eng land. He was reported to Ijc simply the travelling financial agent of the Emigrant Aid Society, and took, iiomanally no part in the afiairs of the Territory, except to make investments for that company where settle ment, had lieen made. The great leading spirits of the political organization in the Territory, in those days, when nerve and brain were both needed, were Charles Robin son, James II. Ianc, Judge G. W. Smith, Win. Y. Roberts, Wm. Phil lips, Samuel N. Wood, and a few others who were less intellectually, but fully their equals in the fixedness of their de termination to make Kansas a free State. To them, history will accord the mead of praise for loosening the'graspjslavcry held on Kansas, when Mr. Pomeroy will have been forgotten. I cannot forbear making one more correction; He says, "I myself was at one time a prisoner in the hands of the Border Ruffian-, upon the banks of the Wakanisa, and after nine days captiv ity I was sentenced to lie hanged," and then goes on to state that he was sent by the Free State Government to Iowa to ob tain arms. He was arrested and taken to the Border Ruffian camp on the Wakani-a, but as to the time when and who were at the camp, and the time of his captivity his mem ory is very faulty. In the fall of 1855, Sher iff Jones arrested Mr. Bronson (a free State man), and in bringing him across " Blan ton's Bridge" Jones was halted by a atly of Free State men, and Bronson was Liken from his custody. Jones immediately left for Wcslport, Missonri, obtained a posse of men, returned to the "Bluejacket Crossing" on the Wakanisa, and there camped. Mr. Pomeroy instantly conceived the idea that his jiowcrs could best lc exercised in arous ing the people of the Eat to the full concep tion of the impending crisis, and started "for the States." He crossed the Kansas River at LawTcncc to the north side, and was arrested by a iarty coming to Jones' assistance and taken to Jones' camp, but gave his name as the Rev. George White, an itincrent Metho dist miui-tcr. Jones liclieving his claim to be true, kept him that night and the next morning gave him his horse, and bid him go on in his good work. Mr. Pomeroy mounted his horse and in less than twenty-four hours after leaving Lawrence "for the States" returned and told the story of his exploits, Init he never said P. R. Atchison or General Richard.son were there, for wc all knew they were not. And no one ever dreamed he was at that time "sentenced to be hanged."

What Brookes' and Crockford's Club Houses were to the English iu the time of the Georges, John Chamberlui's, TNo. S, West Twenty-fifth street, ii to the American of the present day. We say American not New York -advisedly, as ii i a. Club House for the wholCjAincrican people, not itxesort for mere local celebrities,- as- wv-will presently show. " , 'i " The English Club House?, Brookes' and Crockford's, were frequented by the highest dignitaries of the land, and it was at Bakes' that George Fox, then Prime Minister of England, after a. mot exciting and wearisom Parliamentary debate, lust $0,n!K) at a sin gle sitting. Sherridan, Beau Brummell, 1'itr, the Prince of Wales, all were members of this Club, and in fact, not to belong to it was to place yourself at once outside the pale of refined society. It would be utterly iniMs.sib!e in a paper like this to give a detailed description of the great taste and elegance displayed iu the jiainling, furnishing and general arrange ment of valuable sbituary, ami other works of art and refinement. Suffice it to say, there are no parlors in the Melnqiolis thai can exceed them in magnificence or cost. A brief description of the visitors and the objects, and some of the rules of the concern must suffice me at this time. The idea of the proprietor is to not merely make his establishment a saloon, where games are played to the exclusion of other annuities of businelife, but a kind of ex change where merchants and business men can meet each other after the u-ual hours of 'change. For instance, we will imagine a mcrcliant, a sporting in-ni, a lounger, or in fart any class of business or professional man has arrived in the city at nightfall from your city or any joint South or West, and he has to hnve for Boston on the carlv niorniii!; train. The usual places where "merchants most do congregate" arc closed, and it is important that he should sec a certain gen tleman before he leaves for the East. Cham berlain's is open ; he visits there, finds the party he is in quest of, transacts his business, and after partaking ofa supper tliat Epecu rus himself might have envied, takes his leave. And all this without the payment of a cent, or, it may Ijc, alter Jus long and tedi ous journey, he may want some little relaxa tion from the cares of business, and other ex citement than that of commerce. If so, us in the case of the English Clubs Brooke's and Crockford's he ran find it by entering the back parlor, where the game of faro is played. Many people have a general idea tliat the gamcoffaro is a one-sided afiiu'r and those who play must inevitably be beaten. This is not so. Faro is one of the fairest gambling games played. It is true that there is a certain iercentage in favor of the dealer, but the profit comes mainly from the magnitude ot the plays. On entering the room in which the game is plaved the visitor is surprised, if he is JosteiI on the celebrities of the county, at the people he sees seated around the table play ing. Judges, bankers, artists, literary men, merchants, politicians, and even divines can be seen occasionally. There is no'uoise, everything is as quiet ami, orderly 'as iu yours or my parlor, reader. The men who areplaying arc so used to speculation, in their various business, tliat they accept their losses or gains with the same apparent indif ference. Although this Club House Is oien to all, and refreshments and supper denied to none, yet the proprietor does not allow evervone to play. For instance, clerks or cashiers of banks, who have no other usteu-Jble means than their salaries, he promptly refuses per mission to them to woo th blind goddess, Fortune, in his house, as no one knows better than he, "how easy is the descent," &c Another no less praiseworthy feather in his cap, is his strict rule in not accepting picoges iroiu anyixxiy. for example, a man looses, and in the excitement of the play'hc wishes to stake his watch, chain, diamond ring or studs, but these will not be accepted money alone must be staked. This rule, though often irritating to the 'player at the time, i invariably, iu Wl to accumulate and -sUUmojdeukjniL.

Nothing is more melan choly to dwell upon than what is suggested concerning the three classes indicated in ,t)io foregoing sentence when viewed in the light of misfortune; or more wonderful to contem plate when wc search for the great living principle of man that" principle which is mysterious man. The link that connects Hie mind with material things and produces recogiutionj we arc prone to regard with but a passing attention in our familiar" ;in tercoursc with nature; and it is onlv when we meet with those instauces of what a're called uncommon misfortunes that it is .di vested, somewhat, of the mystic mantle that obscure it, and wc are awed in the presence of man and the majesty of God. Tlic great natural means for the ilcvekqs ment of the mind is spoken language, con veyed through the sense of hearing. When ever bolli, or cither, of these faculties ceaje other means must be adopted for communi cation, or the acquirement of ideas is at once nutcil to mere oliscrvation with the brute. These reflections were very forcibly brought fo our mind through a recent visit to.thc'Kaiisas Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, at Olathe, where all that is valuable ofthc discoveries wrought by the. best ages of reason, is devoted to the amelioration of the condition of this portion of our unfortu nate, and the development of their minds and intclectual faculties. Before entering into dct-iil concerning this institution, we may, for the purpose of conveying a better understandm:? of the general wibject, note a fetf of the important points in the history of the treatment of the deaf and dumb iu all age, and, in anpiuta tion from some nf our most eminent wrilcn iind thinkers, whose eliminations leave the ilciluctious which govern the opinion of to day, exhibit the elements now acceded as lying at the iounnatioii ot true progress in tills noble work. The idea of attempting the restoration of the lost faculties, or of repairing the loss by education, seems never to have occurred to the ancients. In fact, in many instances, the authorities connived at the destruction of such children as were bum without all of the Usual faculties, as thev might liecome more or less a burden to the State. The laws of thedillerent nations, in former times, seem to find a general expression in the code of Justinian, promulgated in the sixth century, .. it. it assumes throughout thatricaf mutes from birth arc inca liable of maii.idnir their own ailairs; placing them in this respect on a footing with the insane, idiots, and those siiRering from jcrmanent and incurable dis ease', in requiring guardianship. They could only buy and sell br the aid of a curator or guardian; they could not alter the descent of proicrty, make a gift, will or codicil, or create a InM estate, or make a donation con tingent oh the death of the donor, or eman cipate a slave. Those deaf from birth, but yet able lo speak, wcreallowedthc privilege;! iieiueij iicai minis. ruiaOle inuccil was the fate of these children of silence during Hie long ages of ignorance and darkness. AVitb outstretched hands some sought the alms they could not ask; others, grovelling iu indolence, sank to the level of the idiots with whom alone tlicycoiild associate. ""Without instruction, or the means of acquiring it,"' observes the historian, "they knew nothing of the earth on which they trod, or the heavens above them; if their" ijowcrs of imi tation enabled them to acquire some fticilitv in the mechanic" arts, this might suffice tii supply the craving of the Uuly for employ ment, Isit what should satisfy the longings of the restless spirit? " In t!'J0, it is related that John, Bishop of ii.-igiiisi.in, langni a neat mute to speale, ami to rejital after him wonts and sentences, which is the first account of an attempt being made to educate any portion of this el.iv. In 1112, we have an account ofa deaf and dumb ierson who could understand and practice writing. In 10UO, Paulo lionet, a Benedictine MoiA, of Spiin, piibli-hcd a treatise in which he represents himself a !g Inventor of the proccs-es which he deknnrs. viz: Mimic signs, iloelylology, ib oral alphaljct, and writing. This" work contains the first en graving of the single-hand alphalct so gen erally in use throughout Christendom, and he is siipJoseil to lie its inventor. in llViy, Dr. John Wallis, mathematical professor at Oxford, speaks of having in structed two deaf mutes to articulate dis tinetly,and to understand the meaning of language, thus to use it in sjcaking and writing. In lo'SO, George Dalgarno, a Scotchman, dissented from the policy of articulation anil reading from the lip, cxiiressinsr a reference for written language and a manual alphaljct. He invented the two-handed alphaljct now iu general use in England. It is stated, however, that the man to whom the deaf and dumb arc indebted more than any other, is the Abbe de l'Eppce. His first pupils were gathered at Paris in 1755, and entirely from the indigent desif and ihinib. Upon these he lavished a life of philanthropy and his little patrimony, lie proioundcil the interesting idea that ""there is no more natural and necessarv connection between abstract ideas and the articulate sounils winch strike the car, than there is be tween the same ideas and the written charac ters which strike the eye."

AxoTiiKti unfortunate lake disaster oc curred, Sunday morning last, sturar.d Haven, Mich., by which one of the best of the lake craft was completely wrecked, but nio-t fortunately no lives were lost. The side-wheel steamer Orion, CapL Butlin, of Goodrich's line, left Grand Haven Saturday night on her regular time. After leaving the harbor she encountered a very heavy pea, and toward morning the Captain ordered that the vessel return to the harbor she had just left. Sunday morning, at about 4 sion, to the great delight of the pent up citi zens of I-awrcncc, and Sheriff" Jones persists in calling him the Bcv. George White, to the present day. The expression he Uses, "I being Presi dent of the Committee of Vigilance and Commander of the Free State forces," will bring a smile to the lips of every one famil iar with the history of those days, when it is known he never held cither position. Long after the fames "Wakarna War," Gov. Bobiuson, Gen. Deitzler, Judge Smith,- and Gaius Jenkins, were arrested for treason. All the leading men in Lawrence were gone, and wc hastily organized a Vigilance Com ofF, beneath a broiling sun, unearthing ttie nine nowiizcr anu iieiivering 11 10 calmer moments, appiauueu as a wise and just one.

Mr. Chambcrlin is a "sportg man' in the inicsi ana sincicsi sense 01 uie worn; Honor able in all his dealing, he has found his reward in a rapidly accumulating bank ac count. And now, though rich both iu worldly possessions and troops of friends, he has turned his attention to the improve ment of the breed of horses. To this end he has pnrchascd a large tract of land at Long Branch, X. Y., where he has built one of the finest, if not the finest, racecourses in the world. It Is called the "Monmouth," and cost over $175,000. To give, but a faint idea of the estimation in which he Is held as a sporting man" it would he simply necessa ry to mention that some of the most respecta ble, refined and wealthy gentlemen residing at the Branch arc stewards of the course. There are people who decry gambling al together and think it one of the seven cardi nal sms.

On April lo, 1817, the New Eng land, or, as it was soon after named, the American Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, was opened at Hartford, with Mr. Gaullau det for priuciiial, ami M. CIcrc, an educated deaf mute and a highly successful teacher of the Ablic's school, who accompanied him from Paris, as assistant. Other institutions have since sprung up. and the srstcm which the American asylum adopted governs in all, and is called the American System. Inter esting statistics could lie adduced concerning institutions in all countries, but wc have 'not space to introduce them here. Our own institution was originally founded al Baldwin City, in Douclass Countv. bv a deaf mute named Emery. For a time it was continued at Topeka, under Mr. Nordyke, and then removed to Baldwin again. The State Legislature Iiaving taken cognizance-of it, an act was. passed, through theen'orts'of Gen. Fishback. fixins its location in Olathe. and, in ISfib", the present building was erected by Col. Hayes at a co--t of ncarlv $12,000. The school at once took iosscssion of llic building under Prof. Joseph Mount, a deaf mute, as Principal, and Capt. J. JJ., Kennedy, Steward. A short time elapsed, when Prof. Mount resigned, and was suc ceeded by Prof. Burnsidc. He was suc cccdcd shortly after by Prof. L. II. Jenkins, who fills the Principals chair at the present time. Cait. Kennedy resigned his place as .-xcwam iai spring, altera long ami faithful term ol service, and .Mr. John Morrison, of Johnson County, a very caable gentleman, has filled the place ever since.

Thus it is seen thai all duties arc regulated with exact, .system, and ample time allowed for play and social enjoyment, of which all the inmates avail themselves; to the full extent. - 'The parents of children arc at no expense except for clothing. We arc con-trained to close this article with the follouim; valuable quotation from the Bcv. C. Woodbridgy, a great man who took an einineiiT part in the cou-tniction of the American system of instruction, and thoroughly understands the philosophy of the development of the minds of deaf mutes. But. jieforc wc proceed, let us ascertain the condition of the mind of a deaf mute before his education begins. Tliousanils, after hav ing become intelligent, educated pcrsous, have been questioned as to tlicir ideas before reccivir.g any instructions a, for instance: xWhat were your ideas of (Sod? "What of t he creation ot the world?'' "Whatofthcsim, moon and .stars?" "Wliat the object of re ligious .service iui the Sabbath?" &v. The ;oisers in nearly an cases were sucli as these: "I had 110 idea of God;" "I stip-po-ed God to Ije a stronu, cruel man, who made the thunder and lightning to frighten us;" "I suppo-cd the world had alwavs been;' "I had no ideas of the origin of tfie world;" "I supposed the earth was vcrv miich larger than the sun;" "I thoughtth'e sun W-.W a man and the moon another:" "1 thought people went to church to worship the minister;" "rstippo-ed it was a holidav and llic people were playing." Then, says Mr. Woodbridge, "Mr. Gaul laudct has combined the fundamental princi ple of Ileinieke, 'first ideas, then words,' with that of De 1'Eppoe, that 'the natural language of signs mu-t Ijc elcrateil toas high a degree of excellence as possible, iu order to serve as the, medium lor giving the ideas clearly, and eipLiiuiiigthcin accurately.' lie has added another of no small imiKJrtancc, that, a words dc-criljc rather impressions or states of mind produced by external objects than those essential qualities which are be yond our reach, the process of learning them would be facilitated by leading the pupils to reflect on their own sensations and ideas; and he states as the result of his experience, that among deaf mutes of equal capacities tlnsc who can be led to make or describe, with the grcatet precision, the operations of their, o n mind, uniformly make the most rapid progress in the acquisition of written language, and of religious truth.' A leading oljcct, therefore, iu coiinection with the first lessons, in wh'ch sensible ideas arc presented and named, is to establish a free tommuiiicutiou with the pupil in the sign lauguage in reference to his feelings and thought as excited by the objects which he sees, or the events of his own life. lie earily comprehends thoC of other, and is told to learn the names of the simple emo tions and acts of the mind. Thence he is taught to think of an invisible agent, which wc term the soul, as the feeling and percip ient leing; and bra natural transition is led, by the iie of signs alore, to the Gnat Spirit as the first cau-c; to ill diameter as our creator and lvnefactor. and to a knowlnbt- -' . . : 01 111s law ami our Tuttire destiny. In this manner the deafmntes in the institutions of this country are made acquainted with the simple truth of religion and morality in one 1 ear, a icriou 111 wiucli, in mot Jmropean institution, they arc scarcely advanced be yond the knowledge of sotiniU, and the names of rcusiblc olfcct, qualities and actions, or the most commou phrase. By communicating this instruction in the natural sign language, pupil, whose inferior caiac ily or advanced age, would not allow them to acquire enough of written language to re ceive religious truth through this medium,, have lieen early prepared to enjoy its bles sings anu noj, ami ieei us sanction as a cleeUd.
