will be held in this city. Indeed, the last num
Der ofthe Brooklyn On. " Transcript, before US,
formally announces the fact that majority Of
the Executive Committee, who have in charge
the designation of the time and place Of holding
the said Convention, have signified that vs. heels
ing is their first choice. Weknow, for instance,
that Thos. Williams, Esq, of Pittsburgh, who
at the last meeting Of the Committee at Albany,
opposed the selection of Wheeling, as he, now'
himself says from erroneous impressions Of our
ability to entertain the Convention, has changed
over and now goes heart and hand for Wheeling
In addition to all these assurances, we have had
the expressions of some of the leading Repub-
lican papers. urging the selection of Wheeling,
as the most eligible point 81 that ne may
safely say that ii is#about as certain as thing
OF the future can be that Wheeling is to be the
place where shall assemble, in May next, n con
siderable sprinkling Of the party which in all
likelihood will elect the next President and Vice
President OF these United States.
In view of such an avalanche Of heresy, it
behooves the next door Organ to offer some sng-
gestions 10 this suffering people as to their duties
in the premises. And after the announcements
which3we have made above we shall be much
orthodox Organ does not, this very evening,
come out with the white Of its eyes rolled clear
up Nothing less than "Black Republican"
TRADE Of column and half will satisfy US, or
discharge the duty which the Organ owes to
this people. We want the article to be made
strong, too,-none of your brandy and water
things. We want ..NegroPhilists TO appear at
least dozen times Yankees" as many more,
"Greasers" every line or two, willie ABOLITION
ism" should strike the eye from whatever angle
the paper is turned. An article of this sort is
imperatively demanded justat this time. It
has been four weeks or more since anything of
the sort has been served up, and the impression
that was made by the Gcrlnanic naledctions
has under the combined influence of lager beer
and the warm weather, been totally effaced.
Will the people please pick their ears while
the Organ clears its throat for "Shurt patent
sermon" this evening.
IN a recent charge to the Grand Jury, Judge
Crawford, of Washington City, made#the fol-.
lowing well directed remarks upon the subject
of the training and educationzof young men
If the young men, =who are TO be the future
men OF the country, were brought up with
compulslon was necessary, to devote them
selves to the acquisition OF skill in some useful
and respectable vocation, there would be less
occupation for courts and jures. The engage
mentS and habits of the bOywill cling to the
man, and upon his education and training un-.
der the domestic roof will depend his standing
and character, and his5uSefuness or the reverse
in life"
'IdSeness is the Devils Workshop, saith an
ancient proverb Of much.truthfulness Where
ever there is slothful lazy family, is almost
sure to degenerate into vicious one, and so,
slothfu nations are generally noted FOR tlcpravi-
ty and want Of moral principle. Good in p,in-z
ciple as bog naturally may be, ii be be in :
dulged in idleness. the great chance is he will
contract bad habits and terminate worthless,
if fortunately, not criminal life ldleness,
and industry, its antpode, are not always orig
inal qualities in our compositions though We
sometimes speak of persons being .consttu-
tionally lazy" or naturally industrious" They
are frequently nothing more than superinduced
habits. Lazy boys have been made industrious
men, and active boys have turned out sluggards;
and all this the result Of carly training and
habit.
There exists almost a necessary connection
between sloth and vice. The succession be.
: tween them is SO tersely aud aptly set down in
following verses, that We take the liberty Of
quoting them:
s'see the issue OF your sloth:
OF sloth comes pleasure, Of pleasure comes riot,
OF riot comes disease, OF disease spending,
OF spending comes want, of want comes theft,
And Of theft comes hanging -
In the confessions Of notorious criminals, we
are almost sure TO find them referring to intcm.
perance as one Of the prime causes of their
ubiquitous lives, and il most instances, right
back OF this secondary cause thcy#refer to their
early life of idleness as the prime cause of ALL
The Judge whose Language we have quoted,
has had ample opportunities of noticing this
connection between sloth and vice. Itzwould
bewell if our ministers, US we'll as our Judges,
should use their influence 10 prevent the evil
But withont the personal attention of parents
and guardians to the warning that is repeated
above. no good can result Though the parent
isvery much ia fault for not giving his child
such suitable school education as his means
afford, he is Absolutely criminal for allowing
him TO grow up in idleness.
