At the morning session Of the second day the
subject of ParcchiaI Schools was discussed by
Mr.. KrowIton, Horace Mann, Prof. Young, and
others. That class of schools did not seem to
find much favor Prof Philbrick, of Boston,
delivered an address on Moral Education. In
vitations to visit the gardens and vineyards OF
Mr.. Longworth. and steam fire engine exhibi-
ton, were accepted.

Bulklev, of n. Y, Secretary, and C. S. Pen
nell, of No, Treasurer A Board Of fifteen
Counsellors was chosen, R. Mcmillan the meD-
Der from Ohio.
The Association devoted much time to talk,
but for marvel did not attempt to regulate the
world by long strings of resolutions The fol-
lowing two were passed, and none others except
votes of thanks
RssOlped, That in endeavoring to promote the
great cause of general education, this Associa-
ton will not encourage any distinctions on ac-
count Of locality, position, particular depart
ments Of LABOR, but that all teachers, whether
in colleges, academies OF private schools, in
every part of our land, shall be regarded by US
as brethren and fellow laborers in one common
cause.
ReSOlUsd, ThIt while We regard schools estab
lished by private enterprise not only necessa-
sary, in the present state Of things, but as most
valuable and indispensable aids in public eduea-
tion, we, nevertheless, hold that it Is the great
dlty of the State to provide the means for the
full and free education of all the youth within
its borders.
The Hon. Horace Mann read an admirable
paper at the evening session upon a The Motive
of the Teacher" and after the appointment Of
committees, g., the Association adjourned to
meet in Washington City on the second Wednes-
day of August next. The Commercial says
"the Convention was composed of many gen.
tlemen of great learning and moral worth-sOme
with national regulations, and their hearty ad-
vocacy of the Association is an earnest that the
educational movements Of the country will be
zealOusly promoted"
Just before adjournment an ardent Southern
man" had his say as follows:
Mr.. Bragg, of Alabama, rose, and as he was
almost the only representative from the extreme
South, thanked the Association, most of whose
members come from the North and the East, that
during this whole meeting nothing had been said
which could in any way wound the feelings OF
Southern man. He hoped this bond of quiet
might continue, that nothing disturbing might
be introduced, and that the Association might
60 on and hold the Union together frmer than
it had ever been bound before.
These sentiments seemed to please the Presi-
dent, for he asked Mr.. B. to reduce them to
writing.
Mr. Mann said he thought the gentleman
himself had made the introduction" and
that by very mention of the fact of quiet the
bond" had been broken. On that subject the
least that could be said should be said, and he
was convinced that the gentleman had said too
much.
Mr.. Bragg ''bOwed to the opinions Of much
wiser and much older man"
