Who ARE THE SLAVERY AGITAToRs ?-One Of
the principal abolition organs OF VIM. IL. Sew
ard in the North is the Tribune of this city;
and it is constantly declaring itself opposed to
slavery agitation, while it is at the same time
continually endeavoring to agitate the subject
in the most practical and offensive manner in
its power. In its very issue of yesterday it has
an editorial article containing the usual cant
declarations disappearing Of slavery agitation,
while it gives in another portion of the same
SHEET nearly two columns Of what it calls facts
of slavery, which are practically more an agita-
ton Of the subject than anything could be
short of the actual discussion of the question
or the publication of another Uncle Toms
Cabin. We may say the same thing of the
Times which is another of Stewards organs.
The truth is that the Seward party have no
thing left of their capital stock in trade but
slavery and its agitation. All the other issues
of anti-masonry antirentsm, and of the demol-
ished whig party, are past and gone-used up
and consigned to the tomb of the Capulets
Anti masonry served its day: anti-rentism is
nearly out of date: the United States bank and
the tariff create no discussion nowadays; and
nothing is left Seward and his organs but the
agitation OF slavery in every possible way,
while they are all the time declaiming against
the renewal of such discussion. Mere hy

Vacation.

.HesSrS, Eddors-We beg leave through the
columns Of your paper, to call the attention O
the various School Boards to the expediency q
extending the summer vacation until the THIRD
Monday in September
Some over Jealous teachers may object to this
on the ground that it will shorten the time Of
preparation for the examination This argu-
ment would have some force if all the pupils
or even two-thirds of them, were in town at the
opening Of the schools but this is not the case.
The schools usually open in September with less
than halfthe pupils present These pursue their
studies languidly, knowing from former expe.
rience that when the absentees return every
thing that has been studied must be gone over
again. Thus, although the teachers have been.
year after year, compelled to hurry away from
the recreations and rest which would have
strengthened to work with redoubled energy
and presenl themselves at their posts in town
by the first of September, nothing really yalua-
BILE can be accomplished until about the first Of
October 1t has been most truly remarked, bv
one interested in the welfare of the schools,
that as far as they are concerned, the month
of September might as well be blotted from the
calendar"
Let the vacation be extended this year as an
Fit fails, ii need not be repeated :
but twill not fail On the contrary, the school
open with full attendance of pupils: the
teachers, invigorated by their long repose, will
go earnestly to work and the examinations
next Year will show that nothing has been lest
to the schools by the length of the vacation

Teachers Salaries,

MEsSHs. EDIroRs-Wo see with pleasure that

The acknowledgement of womans rights, i'm

distress and alarm old togyism greatly; but lis
apprehension is premature, for this is a solitary
instance, and there is little prospect of its repe-

In raising the teachers salaries the Second
District School Board has done well, for il is
susceptible OF demonstration that an increase in
the compensation Of teachers must tend ulti-
mately TO increase the efficiency of the schools
Teachers are merely human and are. conse.
quently, governed by motives similar to those
which influence other human beings They
work for money; and, though they may prefer
teaching as a profession to any other, YET they
VIII leave i if they can better themselves pect-
narily by doing So We do not deny that per

even II the salaries were reduced To onc-hali
their present rate There is no sort of difficulty
IN obtaining teachers but Of what sort, and for
how long Mostly young ladies who want
spending money, and young lawyers who want
briefs. The former will remain in the schools
until they get husbands, and the latter until
they get business. long time, perhaps hut
not long enough TO make them regard teachiup
as anything but an expedient to be abandoned
as soon as something more desirable presents
itself
This Is the light in which teaching is regarded
