For The Vermont phmnix.

"KtssrNG GOES ny FAvoR."-The learned Presi-
ident Mason in speaking of schools and books, makes
the following py and truthful remarks-"lt has UNI
fortunately happened, that almost every man Of OBJ
tuso intellect and strong powers Of drudgery thinks
himself qualified to write n grammar,-which, Of
course he contrivcs to make as nnieHgJle posi-
Le and hence grammar instead of being an inriting
becomes an intolcraby irtsome task. Children have
to labor year after year, without much progress,
through literary svdnp, and when they grow weary,
their steps are often quickened by the birch : while
the blame is wholly and solely to be attributed to the
stupid method Of instruction."
Now do not "Boarda Of Fducoto-,', b.. compelling
the people to make use of such mystifed grammars
in their district schools as those above described be-
tray equally ns "obuse intellect and as strong powers
Of drudgcry" as the authors Of such books do them
sclves2 Certainly they do. If our school system is
somewhat defective, like an old eaky brass kettle,
(Which is frankly ADMITTEDLY then surely, we either
ought to be permitted to do hnkering, else
have skfu workmen sent us by the state, to do the
job for us, who shall not make tco holes where they
mendone But every discerning person must be SEN
sble, it is believed, that the recent authorve sclec-
ton Of text books for schools in Vermont
with n few exceptons-is a very injudicous one
And wherein? Answer-The choice has not fallen
methnks upon those books the most free from inno-
vatons and the best calculated 10 dbrdge Oand sare
expense. Thereby makngt manifest, that our Board
is either exceedingly stupid and unwisc, that books
also sometimes Ego by Jaror,* instead of merit, us
well as "kissiRgg'
Far better would it have been for the people Of W.T.
matters are, (aside from having large tink-
erng bill to sette had they been LET alone to manage
their own schools they please But whether the
Board do its duty or not, we are bound to submit
inasmuch as from its decision there be no appeal
Mr.. Editor think that Boards Of Education, for the
purpose of supervising our district Schools are some
what like Physicians Having it in their power to do
immense good, or immense erR. Physicians, however,
cannot be dispensed Without Boards" can be- al,
though udicous and discerning ones ,ei, dvsiiu-
ble Let praise he given where praise Is due; and let
it be remembered that "Truth harms no one" Z.
ut is not a very difficult matter for wealthy and
influential Publishers to get any worthless school book
introduced into Schools which may suit their III
terests. "Money makes the mare got" and money
makes the books go -regardless Of merit.

or with the utterances of Stephen A. Douglas
of which the following extract from his recent
speech at Memphis is a specimen;
"The Almighty has drawn a line on this continent
on one side Of which the soil must lie cultivated by
slave labor; the other sldc by free white labor"
And after all this Mr.. Douglas is not suili-
cicntly sound on the slavery question to be trust
cd with dictatorship of the Committee on Ter
ritories!
Those who denounce Mr.. Seward with such
vehement bitterness had better turn their bat
teries upon the founders of this republic, and
assail them as "fanatics," and denounce their
doctrines as "fatal heresies' Their abomina-
bic twoddle will then have the appearance Of
consistency at least.

"THE Boston NoRTH."-Such is the title of

Bay State. It's ably edited, handsomely print

news, and all the requisites of first class jour
nal. 1t is matter of congratulaton that among
all the democratic newspapers of New England
there is one that is not frightened by the bug
bear of "sectionalism,' but is ever ready to re-
cognise the existence of "Nolth."

New HAMPsmRE.-The Republicans of New
Hampshire held their State Convention at Con-
cord, on Tuesday, and nominated Hon. leila
a vote of 36S to for all others. The Conven-
ton, considering the terrible storm, was very
well attended, and the proceedings were char
acterized by much enthusiasm. ADAMS TwITcH-
ELL, of Milan, was nominated for Railroad
Commissioner.
Since our Republican friends in New Hamp-
shire assumed the management of affairs they
have done up the business of nominating and
electing their candidates with a despatch and
certainty refreshing to witness. They go to
work with an earnestncss and q will that makes
every thing sure. Their present nominee is
one of the ablest men in the State, and will
bring to the executive chair wisdom tempered
with experience. In a short time the congress
sional candidates will be in the field, and the
campaign will open in earnest. 1t now looks
as if GILMAN MARsToN of Exeter, MASON w.
Japan of Bradford, and THOMAS VI. EDWARDS
of Kecne, would be the successful nominees for
Congress. The withdrawal of Professor HoYT
from the canvass, in consequence of his accep-
lance of the chancellorship of St Louis Uni
versity, leaves the field pretty sure for Mars
TON. Mr.. TAPPAN is one of the ablest Numbers
from New England in the present Congress-
OF Mr.. EDWARDS we have heretofore expressed
a very favorable opinion.
Since writing the above we learn that Mr..
MANSION was nominated in the LIST, and HON
AS VI. EDWARDS of Keene, in the Sd Districts.
In the I'd District the convention could not
agree upon any one, and adjourned unit. the
10Th. Mr. TpPAN would receive the nomina-
nation did not the doctrine of rotation rigorous
ly prevail in New Hampshire politics.

ing rooms. &C., were illuminated by gas-ght, and the
effect in revealing the fair faces of beautiful ladies'
was fine in the extreme. We believe that those who
have been in the habit Of attending the annual balls
Of the Hydropaths pronounce this the best assembly
that has ever been held under their auspices.
