Dealrcs, ell. u-tn ami -..ill "fact ion a urn universally admitted to be tho groundwork of nil Exchanges. A low it desire for u certain object, ho conspires with Ii to ob. lulu it, satisfaction is tho result tins is the simplo add curtain law of each and every Exchange. As a proof of this nat ural order of the elements of Exchange, wo hnvo only to observe tho great divorsi ty of natural gifts bestowed upon differ, cut individuals by tlic Creator. One innn has superior physical powers but no in gonitily to apply them ; another with fee ile body 1ms a wonderful faculty for con trivunco; a third has u philosophical bent, liking to discover tho laws of nature nnd mind; while a fourtli has aspccial genius for trafllc. Tints each one is in some way qualified to serve tho oilier while mutual satisfaction 1b tho result. Tho motive which leads to Exchange is solf.intcrcst. A exchanges services with , because tho effort put forth by Jl gives greater satisfaction titan if put forth by himself: niul vice verm. Hut why docs this kind of effort give greater satisfaction V Obviously, because- there is diversity of advantage, in different respects hot ween men and nations. Tho wants of men arc too numerous to bosatisliod by solf.ojlbrt; hence it is found to be more profitable to jHve attcntion'to one branch of industry illono and thoroby securo greater perfec lion. To illustrate. Suppose tho watch nlakor's ability to mako watches boropre- i sqited by 10 and hia ability to mako coats lbureprcscntcd by 5; whilo tho tailor's a- Ibisty to make coats is 10 and his ability Ito mako watches 5 : and further that each lull a- desiro for tho product of tho other.

TOollflt. gratifying thoso desires; since by it ti gain of 10 is secured to each,- whilo otherwise an-qnforipr watoli and coat must-buthu'.vc-sult and a far less degree of gratification be attained. It is equally clear that tho greater the diversity of relative advantage the more profitable exchanges become. Freedom is certainly the most Impor tant condition necessaiy to make exchang es as profitable as they can become. This brings mo properly to tho questions of Free Trade and Tariffs which 1 can only slightly notice in this connection. Mr. Perry, in ills book, touching this subject says: " By freedom is meant the right of every man to employ his own efforts for the gratification of his own wants,-either directly or through Exchange. Each man's right of freedom is limited of course by every oilier man'1 right of freedom ivhicJi ho i iwtnt liberty to infringe; and aho in certain reaped, by what is ctllcd tho general good, of which the judge must be tho govern ment under irhieh he lirex." Although ho takes great pains to argue the question of free trade absolutely, yet this seems to mo plainly to recognize the principle of Tar iff. For if men are limited in their rights by tho rights of others, which llicy fcuroly menus .are JJuj-lU'opoi- Judge-,. JLu ftjfrlimi cases, of tlhrexterUof suYh Hniltniion,tho fundamental principle of T-iiffi 'tu'o. granted. For if an unrestricted trade with other nations would violate any ol thcbo provisions, which etui be certainly' shown, his nVgilmeuts in favor of free trade are seriously Ipipiiired.. , Again, have gQvoruilients ' right to intcrforo in tho matter of trade V Many writors say no. But when a majority of iho people of any county say- that legal restrictions upon ticrtain kinds of trade,1 are beneficial to all, what is there peculiar ly sacred about the rights of trade to make that restriction unjust? This principle wag wisely decerned and properly under stood by the, frumors of the constitution when they gave it into the power of (Jon.' gross to regulato commorco. As to the. n'iU of government to control commerce there can bo no.cavil. in speaiuug oi. tho Hiibjsot ol' Tariffs hereafter, I bimjl, lrca of tho most politic nnd equitable course to bo pursued.

Tlio President suggested that while tho cominitloo wore preparing their report tlio members should givo expression to their sentiments and feelings on tlio subject to bo discussed. Jonathan Tardy wished to ask the chair if tlioro was any law to com poll students to bo in tlio school room by tho timo 8cliool oponcd. Ho was called to order by another member whoaid them was no chair in tho convention, but that J was agreed on that tho President should occupy tlio stumj). Tlio member also lipp ed "that tho dignity of the convention "would" hot b6 abused any more. .' n" Mr. Tardy again arose and expressed a willingness to be corrected. Ho said ho o"-vr-a.i-d" i. 4. . .

He said chair wufl a general term, hut slump a local necessity. He, would now urge his quclion and ask if tho slump knew it to he tho law, that they must be in the school room at tho opening of school. The 'tump said lie was not prepared to answer th que lion, but as far as lie was concerned, lie would go into school when he pleased, ami would urge tho members of the convention to do tho same. ( Tremendous cheering.) Ebenezer Book-huTui then said the sentiments ex pressed by tho stump .wore " a good sug. gestion." He was proud of his name did not believo in "book larnin." Jacob Nevcr-study thought teachers were entirely out of-their spheres, when .tliey'urged pupils to .study; that ho would not bo ftvcod by any teacher Ac would losetin litilo finger first, lie thought there should lie a free-will acton tho part of the pupil. If ho wanted to study, it was all rigid, and if he did not, it wos nobody's business.

Again we, as students, nre often told to praetieo diligent application to our stud ios, that in after life wo may mako appli cation of our knowledge in our various practices. Some men are continually making ap plication to others for money 'ami aid; others make application of such money and aid to their own uses without tinv nrnMous application to (lie owner. win: m.iii u:is a Linuiiv uuuiunimii u nil iijavranei comuuijrnvhlt-h'!u'ilHi you to 111 ut Another hl u. lAuck apple-. i (ion. oh rather mark of an application, honictlme-. over one eyj and sometimes over il.
