Address, delivered before the Ohio Baptist Education Society, ai their Annual Meeting, held in Granville, Mgmt, 1837. By T. It. Cuessv, A. M. Pastor of the Baptist Church, Columbus, Ofto. "A thorough literary and theological education is exceedingly desirable, if not absolutely necessary, to constitute an efficient ministry of the gospel." To sustain this position is the design of this Address. The arguments Mr. Creasy has brought to bear upon it are strong, and evidently well studied. It would be impossible in the limits of a newspaper notice, to abstract the ideas and chains of these di Heron t and elaborate arguments. It is enough to ofTer our testimony that Mr. Crcssy lias handled his subject, which is one of great Interost and importance, and one which is deserving of every attention, in an effectual and impressive manner. To convince., is his aim throughout; and he manages bis arguments accordingly. There aro men at the present day, wiso enough in their own estimation, and ignorant enough in tho estimation of others, who regard an educated ministry as a " superfluity of naughuncss" by no means to ho tolerated. Satisfied with the limited extent of their own knowledge, they aro offended at tho idea of a moro extended knowledge in tho minds of others. IlUnd themselves, they would be led Into the ditch by a blind guide. To all such we recommend this Address. The application of Its truths, wo think, would bo successful in bringing them to a right understanding of the power and advantages of education; not less with the preacher than the layman. We select some excellent passages from this pamphlet, for the especial benefit of our readers. Mr. C. says : "Tho peculiar characteristics of the present ago, furnish it not Iter reimnn why a thorough lit erory nnd theologies! education is necessary to constitute nn efficient ministry. k Society is not whrtt it wits but few years since. Education and the force of circumstances luivc exerted a transforming influence upon the entire iimsBof mind in our country. They have elevated it ns by a mighty tide, nnd mind is now strongly marked by that independent, energetic thought thut culls no tiiiiu muster. Such is the boldness of its scepticism, that whiiicvcr is presented for belief, cspecinlly of a religious character, must be fully sustnincd by sound arguments; mid these must lie presented in u way calculated to convince the inuuisitivo layman, nnd to gratify the taste of tho refined youth, or the niti'iitum cannot he won, or the soul benefitted. While such is the character of mind generally, there is a ntion tendency in the ministry to be extremely superficial. Every m tut in this ago knows a little of manv things. ltut tho number i:i exceedingly "until, who are thoroughly versed even in a few things. This is loo much the e:is with ihe ministry." " A fearless spirit of enterprise, constitutes Another chiiructerittie of our nge. Mind is here left uncontrtillcd, to exert till her energies; and nflicieut scope is given for her boldest experiments in every direction. (lenius is constantly upon the ulert, senrehii-ir out lite various, unexplored laws of nature and of nrt nnd often preventing the trophies of her victories to an iidmiriii? world. Our commerce is borne upon every sen our rail -roads uud ennuis are erossinj, orpem-trn-ting our highest iiioiintiiins, filling up our vullies, arching our rivers, connecting distant Slates, am! almost nunthilatini! time end space. At the same time, our institutions of every character and flrndenre springing into being in quick succession find with L'slonishitig ntpiditv: nnd the press is flooding the laud with periodicals nnd volumes suited to every taste. In short, through the length and brenilih of our country, nil is enterprise, strong excitement, or wild ciiihunasm. To arrest the attention of such n rush of spirit, where there is very thing to shut out tho thoughts of eternity, a ministry of the most elevated character is needed n ministry that will cnnimnnd nttcurinn whose voico will he heard ubove the rush of many waters." Hold thoughts these impressively expressed. Tho deduction of the necessity of an educated ministry, U clear and legitimate. Mr. Crcssy, in the preparation of bis statistics rin regard to the means heretofore taken to educate ministers of the gospel, con fines himself, naturally enough, to the l!uptist denomination. This he dues without disparaging the efforts of other denominations, in the same jreneml cause. After enumerating many interesting facts, in proof of the exertions made by his own denom ination in this matter, he says: u Whatever may have been the literarv character of our niinislrv, th'1 above mass of ItMt-irien) facts distinctly show, that from tin; tlnvsof the lirst llaptists in America to tin present, the eye of the denomination has been kept steadily upon a ministry furnithid to everv good word sud work. Twenty years un the denomination were nt least lmtniuully otatrzed into Lduetitioii Societies for this purpose, though, it is readily acknowledged, but a mere fraction ha been uccomplUhcd thnt should have been, bv n denomination having n no-dialed with it one-fourth of the entire population of these I'nited States. Still il is cheering to reflect, thnt within a lew vetirs increased rfforis have been nude nnd crowned with success, fr preparing young meti lor the niinis'rv. In IH'IM ! we had but three Colleges, and three Theological Institutions, nnd probably c than two hundred young mi lt in a course of study pn paialorv to the eliristiau ministry; but the increase within seven years bus Iteeti nt lenst three hundred per cent. The. litKtituiions then in existence have doubled, and in some instances have ircbb d their number, while ninuv others have gone into opt ration, so that it is now confidently bclievid from the hei information, that we have nt least six hundred voting men in the Daptist denomination in the Ijnilcd States pursuing tin education preparatory to the (.'hristittn ministry." This speaks well for the denomination. We aro much pleased with this portion of tho Ad-lress. llaptists ure much indebted to Mr. Cressy, for bis faithful representation of their leal and multiplied efforts in the cause of ministerial education. We subjoin bis last argument lu favor of a generally educated ministry : "Look nt iho number and the strength of tho enemies to he conquered, Tito henrt of man is 4nnst deceitltd and wicked, even to drsperntiott. i lias ever been utterly opposed to tho principle of tiod's government.

The stylo nnd Innguago of this Address, bear testimony that Mr. Cressy baa received the bore efit of the advantages of a polite and literary, as well as theological education, himself. Though j some passages in it may be considered feeble j and unfinished, or misplaced, still Its general characteristic is strength and studied ability. j Wo speak of it thus particularly, because its object being the overcoming of an erroneous ' and destructive opinion, in relation to this branch of education, we consider it well and ably adapted to effect that object, and conse- j quontly worthy of eminent consideration and encourgoment. j The Buckeye Plouoh-Bov.

Ono of the principal articles in this number, is a lung and very interesting letter to the editor from the veteran Harrison, of North Bend, which exhibits this successful warrior and statesman, in ono of tho proudest characters our country can boast that of an intelligent practical farmer. His remarks aro of the utmost importance to tho agricultural community. They aro too long fur us to extract at this time. We give a passage from tho letter, in which tho advantages of agricultural societies arc earnestly inculcated and enforced. u I sincerely wish you Biieceps in your laudable uwlertnkinir to ditl'iisc information unon tho iin- purtnnt subject to winch you have devoted your jin per. It in, however, true, (nnd I rcjrrct to my it,) tliat many of our farmers appear to bo insi'it aibiu to the advantages of such publications. I believe, however, that on improvement in thin particular is gradually going on, and that the benefits whieli the agricultural interest derives front them will soon be generally felt and acknowledged. In this particular, some of our sister .States cast of the Alleghany ridge ore considerably ahead of us, and a correspondent improvement in the management unci product of their farms has been the consequence. Tho Agricultural Societies established in various parts of this Ktate have done something towordscorreeting this inequality, particularly in tho improvement uf the Domestic Animals; and if our Legislature would lend its aid, we might soon be iihlc favorably to compare the character of our husbandry with that of any , of the Wales. The State of New York allows to each of their County Societies a sum equal to what they recoivo from private contributions. In Fnince tho (iovernment bears all the expenses of n Society established in the Capital, with rami fictitious in every part of the Kingdom. It is under the pntnuni-rc of this Society, established by Napoleon, that die cultivation of the Sugar Beet has been so widely extended to tho great benefit of the nation. Ohio has appropriated large sums to the construction of Canals and Knnds lor facilitating the transportation of the products of agriculture to market. I can sec no reason why they should not do something towards increasing the quantity and improving the quality of those pro-duets. Our Agricultural Societies arc most of them in a languishing stale, mid without legislative aid, many of them will unquestionably discontinue their operations. Appropriations of this kind ure like (host; which n farmer makes in fertilizing and improving bis soil, nddiug frequently to his income an hundred fold. Tlnm it is with an expenditure from the Treasury for improving the products of husbandry, lite wealth of the people bring increased, they will be eii;ibled to return those odvanees with immense interest whenever the exigencies of the (iovcrniiicnt may require it.11 FARMKRH AND MECHANICS' P.IACT.CALAiUTII mktic: Uriah 1'ahkk, Zancsvillc, Ohio.

Tho full returns had not yet reached Baltimore. But it was certain, that of the one bun" dred and twenty-eight members of Assembly at least One Hundred would us Whigs ! The triumph of the Whigs in New York was altogether unexpected by tho loco focos. Tho news came upon them like a clap of thunder in a snow storm. Tho New Times, their now organ in the city, on the Friday after tho election sighs over the loss of the city, but consoles itself with the certainty of carrying tho .Si il to. "That the State of Now York,11 it says, "can be carried by tho Whigs, in incredible.'' Thisedi tor has learned before this, that Sam Patch was right when he said "some things can be done as well as others." Mr. Van Burcn was advised by bis friends, from day to day, of the progress of tho election in New York. The Commercial states that on Saturday they saw a copy cf the estimates of the cily election, transmitted by Mr. Cambrelengto tho President, on the afternoon of tho second day of the election. The result was a snug Van Buren majority in tho city. Mr. Cumbreleng should bo made Secretary of the Treasury his calculations are so correct ! What no thev sav at Washington? Every body is anxious to hear what Mr. Van Huron thinks of the result of tho election in New York. The New York Commercial says, that on Wednesday last, in conversation with a gentleman respecting tho New York election, Mr. Van Buren shook his head us to the city, nud admitted that it might go against him. But tho State, lie said, was perfectly safe. lie committed himself too soon! It was made by the Albany Argus a matter of felicitation, after the Presidential election, that Columbia and Albany counties had given large majorities for Van Buren the first county being the plueo of his birth, tho latter of bis long residence. Both theso counties now give large majorities against him! Tho Hartford Review, of Saturday, brings us returns from a few more elections in towns in Connecticut. They have all gono for the Whigs ! As the New York K veiling Post says, "wo must live in a Whig world." Tho election in old Massachusetts took place on Monday.

THE ALTON TRAGEDY. Below will ba found aa official statement of the proceedings of tho lato Alton moU, prepared by the Mayor of that city, who was present, a spectator of the outrages. It will be socn that it varies in several respects from any statement yet published, and, if possible, renders tho violence moro obnoxious than they at first appeared to be. The statement is calm nud dispassionate.The Alton Spectator of the Oth instant says: Wo have delayed our paj(f for the purpose of inserting the following statement of the tragical occurrence that took place in this city on the 7lh instant. Tho Muyur presents a plain statement offsets without comment. This statement precludes all remark from us, except as to the correctness of the statement, which wo have been assured from various sources to bo entirely correct. Ma yob's Ofi'Ice, ) City of Alton, j'ac. 8ii, 1I137.J TO THE rUliMC. "TriVrdcr that tho public mind iiiuy be correctly informed of the lamentable und fatal tragedy that wus enacted in our city uu the night uf thu 7ih inst., nnd with n view of preventing and correcting distorted statements of the proceediugsof the mob and those persons against whom the attack was directed, I deem it incumbent on me, and proper, that 1 hIiouM present iu my ollicial capacity, u plain statement of nil iho facts connected wiih ilia unhappy excitement that has ho long ngitated the pcaceund tranquillity of the citizvint of Alton. Without recurring to thu causes or results of previous excitements in reference to the i uW'm ()b.cncrn press, and its final dcBtrtieiion, I I shall conliue my ntutumeut to the last and most melancholy occurrence which has befallen our citv. l-'or several days past it had been announced and generally believed that a printing press was hourly expected to be landed at our wharf. It had nl-so been the current rumor, that this press wns intended for the rc-establishmcntof the "Jlltou Ob' serrcr." The circulation of these rumors produced no small degree of excitement among those who had taken a decided stand ugniiiHt the aboli liVmseiituucnlH that were uudermoud to linve been disseminated through the columns of the "Observer." Various reports of u threatening character ngtiiiiBt the lauding of the press wore in circulation, which led the friends of the Observer and its editor lo make preparations to defend the press, in case any violence should he offered by those opposed tu the publication of that paper. Uu Tuesday about 3 o'clock in the morning, I wns called from my lodgings and informed that the press had arrived at ihe wharf, nud that my official interference was desired. I immediately repaired to the wharf, and remained there until tho press was lunded nnd stored in the warehouso of Messrs. Godfrey, Gil man & Go. There were no indications of violence or resistance on the part of any ono at that time. The arrival of the "abolition press" (as it wus culled) was generally known in tho early part of that day, which served to re-kindle the excitement. Representation was made to the Common Council ol the threatening reports which were iu circulation. The Common Council did not, however, deem it necessary to take nny nelion on tho subject. Gentloncn directly interested iu protecting the presB from mob violence, deemed it expedient lo guard the warehouse with men nnd arms, in readiness lo resist violence eh mi Id nny bn ottered. luriug the early part of the night of Tuesday, it wns reported through i he city that there weru from 3f) to 4U armed men on gunrd within the wnrchouse. About 10 o'clock ut night, -0 or 30 persons np-pcand nt the south cud of the warehouse nnd gave some indications of nn ntiack. Mr. W. ( il mail, from the third storv of tho warehouse, addressed thoio without, mid urged ihem to lie-itist, and nt the snuic time informed them that the person within the warehouse were prepared, and should endeavor to defend (Iu ir p roper I v, nnd that serious continences might comic, Those without demanded the Press, and vaid they would not bo satiHficd until it was destroyed ; naid ihey did not wish lo injure any person, or other property, but insisted on having the 1'ress. To which Mr. (I. replied that tho press could not bo given up. Tho persons nuisidc then repaired to ilio north end of the building, and nttrteked the building by throwing stonr, &c., and continued their violence for-Ii ort) minutes, when a gun was tired from ono of the windows of iho warehouse, and n man named Lyman Bishop wns mortally wounded. He was carried ton surgeon1 otltec. nud tho mob wilhdrew and dispersed, with the exception of a small number. I'pou ihe first indication of disturbance I called uu thu civil authorities most convenient, nnd repaired with all despatch to the scene of netiou. liy this time the tiring from the warehouse nnd iho consequent death of one of their number, (Bishop died soon tiller ho received ho shot) bad greatly increased iho excitement, nud tabled (o tho numbers of the mob. Owing to the late hour of tho night, but few citizens weru present nt the outset, except those engaged in the contest.

A rush wnc now uindo to thu warehouse, with the cry of "tiro tho bonne burn them out," Ac. The firing soon beenmu fearful nnd dnuerous bo) ween lliu contending panics, so much so that further interposition on the part of the civil authorities and citizen watt lo licunl altogether inadequate, and hax-nrdons in the extreme : no menus were nt my control, or llmt of nny other officer present, by which the mob could be dispersed, nud tho los of life and the shedding of blood prevented, Scones of iho immt darintr recklcHsnehn uud infuriated mild ness followed iu quick succession. The build int; wns surrounded, nud the iiiumlm weru threatened with extermination nud denth in tho most frightful form imtiintildo, Kvcry means of oscnpu by flight wore cut off. The scene now beciimo ono of most nppnlling nnd heiiri-reuding interest! lilt ecu or twenty citizens, nmonir whom wore some of our most worthy nud enterprising, were apparently doomed tu an unenviable nnd incvitn-blo d in ih if tho flumes continued.

The Madisonian, tho Van Buren Conservative organ of the city of Washington, thus forcibly sketches the causes which Imvo been at work in the land to produce the lato results, so disastrous to Van Buren and bis lieutenants. Although not the whole truth, there is much truth contained in these paragraphs: H The sole and proximate causes have engaged our minds from tho moment of our first establishment, and were ihe direct inducements to the eourie we determined on from ihe beginning. We foresaw the tendency of tho ultra doctrines which certain politicians hnd nttcmptcd to propagate through the country, ond the inevitable consequences to which they would lead the party. Wocamo hero to employ what abilities we "possess, in endeavoring to avert, if possible, thu very evils which wc are now brought to mourn. The ncfitilentinl breath of Loco-I'oeoism hnd gone forth, like the deadly simoon, infusing itself into the very vitals of tho republic, to poison, to convulse, nnd to destroy. Tho Vandal spirit of tho Globe indulged its progress, and directed its destructive coureo to the very citadel of our pros, polity. Wc sought iu vain to interpose a shield m vain wo expostulated, implored, proved i wo interposed history, custom, facts and renHoning; wc brought up tlic testimonies of the dead, we produced tho authority of the living oracles; but all in vain. The spirit wns beckoned on into the very embrace of the "gods." The tlamiug sword wns placed in the hands of the destroying nngcl, and sent forth to devastate nnd lay waste. It invaded the sanctity of private life, and ravaged the habitations of virtue. No independence of opinion, no dignity of character, was secure from its ussnults. Went on disorganizing society, nnd throwing ofi" nil the obligations nnd restraints which it imposed, it eust on nil things a false und lurid glare, and confounded all forms nnd ceremonies, persons nnd things. It pretended to n sense of burning wrong a wrong imagined to be inflicted by the aristocracy of weultb, nnd the partiality of legislation but it wns the sensibility of igno-rnnce, founded upon the prejudices nnd jealousies excited by the breath of designing demagogues,. Its labor of love was, First, the destruction of the credit system; Its second, the annihilation of till churtercd rights; Its third, the dinsolutiun of a!! lenl obligations; Its fourth, the levelling of all character nud sociul distinctions; Its fifth, the equal distribution of wealth; And lastly, iis reward, the spoils of oilice. Impatient of restraint, it sought the establish ment of a new constitution, and the ubrogntion of i all legiHfHtivo ennetments. Under the name ol democracy it laid hold of the ultnrs of St. Tammany, und set unn Shibboleth nt which every free thought wus to he immolated. The ninn of property hnd no confidence in his security no institution felt nny assurance of permanency. Tho disasters which bad overtaken tho country like a cloud, were agrnvated and prolonged. The merchant was mocked in the midst of his enlamities, and told thnt no honest ninn ought to regret his 1 distresses. A war of extermination wns declared n gainst nil banks, upon which the credit nvtcui, the most beautiful and beneficent result of free iustitutions,wns based debtors and creditors were arrayed ogninst each other; the poor atrainst the rich ; and the protection which the Legislature extended to tho calamities of the times was denounced ns n combination todefrnnd; the banks were charged with baseness, perfidy and trench- i cry, for extending relief to the people until they sunk in the general vortex of the drowning credit ; n disregard of legal and moral obligntiou was fostered by men high in office, ns the true policy of patriotism; nnd others, from whom better thin? were hoped, were making the "confusion worse confounded1 bv n headlong pursuit of extreme notions and indefinite phantom,", totally incompatible with u wholesome state of the country." 37 The public rejoicings throughout Ohio at the present aspect of the sky-political, will be most general nnd enthusiastic. A letter from Springfield says, that "the Whigs will have a jollification supper nt tho Buckeye in a few days, on the strength of tho New Yorkers. People here have almost quit work for tho Vast two days. It baa been a refreshing season !" And a friend at Xenia writes; 11 Last night (Thursday) about 9 o'clock, so soon as the news by the mail was made known to tho people, our Court-house bell tolled the faiell of Van of Kinderbook, and the jny of the Whigs for the triumphs iu tho " Umpire Slate." The Van- jacks looked rather blue on tho occasion, and this morning they have faces almost as long as my arm : a stranger could tell them nt fifty yards distance!"

The people of New York, whose representative he is, have themselves passed upon Senator Talm.idge, and have, as with one voice, ono mind, one impulse, sustain ed him, and approved bis defence of tho system of credit which extends through all the ramifica- tious of society, and strengthens and supports : tho commercial prosperity of tho country.

This is a cause that cannot be removed by tlio inculcation of anti-tariiT doctrines, or by renouncing commercial intercourse with the ports north of the Potomac, including of course that of the Empire State. The Atlas says ; Without losing ourselves in those misty pol'itU cnl mctupiiy.sie, for which some of the Mouth Carolina politicians are so famous; and without intending to enter into a politico-economical discussion; it nppears to us, that the reason why tha n nh is becoming every day more and moro conspicuously superior to the South, in wealth, gno- rid nniBTiiTtK- nnd iMtiinroni'ntll- in Oolitical influ ence, is' too plain to be overlooked by tho merest , tyro iu poliiicnl science.

At the South, idleness isbonorublc, it is tho characteristic of n gentleman; nt tho North, nt least among tho men, it is disgraceful ; fur it is tha distinguishing mark of a loafer.

Thero is among tho Southern people a deep and growing jealousy of tho North, and tho eourso which the Southern members of Congress have taken, shows that they aro looking; forward to a geographical division of parlies. The support tiny gavo to tho Sub-Treasury bill, had its origin lit this. They bad astuteness enough to perceive that if that bill passed, it would crush tho banking institutions of tho North, and with them would perish tho crodit system, on which alono, they supposed tho prosperity of tho North to depend. The Charleston Mercury, the especial organ of tho Nullifi-ers, who to a man support Mr. Van Bureu's favorite measure, says : 14 The Convention havo given thoir dellbsroto sanction to the views of Mr. Culhoun, on the connection of the (Government and llunks; unr, they place the "Divorce11 in most imposing light to tho interests ut the .South; they rttgnrd tho adoption of that measure ns the grout foundation on which we nre to build the superstructure of a direct trade with Europe." . lis tins pllinniertitci o' common sente, now, that wi turo Doujjul."

And 3dlv, that it is cjkuluied to produce two currencies; a twsor una for the People, and & better one for iho Government."We do not quota thoso objections from tho Enquirer os new or rare they havo boon stated before through a hundred channels but thoy urn illiy of note, appearing as they do iu tho column of so loyal a print as the Enquirer. national Intelligencer BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. Many of the advocates of a pure inetalllo currency have asserted that HtxjAMin Franklin was a lioco Foco; and havo quoted opinions of his to justify the assertion lhal the Democrats of olden times were iu favor of the miserable doctrines which they are now attempting to estalt-lisli. The following extract, from pages 25 and '27 of the Autobiography of Dr. Franklin, will set at rest any doubt which may have arisen, from tho apprehensions of the Loco Focos, as to his opinions on this subject: "About this timo (year 1720) thero was s crv among tho people for more paper money; only tif-tecn thousand pounds, being extant in the provii)Co9 nnd llmt so n to be sunk. "Tiic wealthy inhabitants opposed atiy addition being against alt paper currency, from the atmr- hension that it would depreciate, ns it hnd duno in New England, to tho injury of nil creditors. "Wo had discussed this point in our junto, w herd I was on the side ol an nudttion, being persuaded that tho first smnll sum, struck in 172.1, had done much good, by lucreniing the trade, employment, nud number of inhabitants in the province; aiuco I now saw nil the old bonnes inhabited, and manv new ones building, whereas I remembered well when I first walked nbout the streets of 1'bilndul-jdiin, (rnting my roll,) 1 saw many of the houses in Wallnutstreet, between Second and Front-streets, with bills on their doors 'to be let;' and many likrwite iu Chesnut-sirect and other streets, which undc me think the inhabitants of tho city were, one nflcr another, deserting it.
