THE WAR OF TIE ROSES.

From the instant the news arrived that the
Seceders had nominated Breckenridge and Lane
everybody saw that it was ticket "made 10 KILL
In their desire to chastise Douglas for hi, revolt
against Slavery Propagandisn, they violated, if,
this nomination, that clause Of the Constitution
which declares that "crue and unusual punish.
" ncnts shall not be inflicted"
Douglas had a right t, expect that they would
select as the cSccutoner Of their purposes
nominee for President who would combine in his
chara cer and conduct personal enmity TO him, con
spicuous hostility to Popular Sovereignty, and q
repulsyc advocacy of a Save Code for the Terri
tories. He has reason to complain Of unusual
cruelty in the selection Of Breckenridge, the gentle
man, the whom friend, for the task of putting him
to death. The headsman Of the SC afold was chosen
not more for his unerring eye and vigorous arm,
than for his hdeous vissgc. The wielder of the
guiilotine decaptated his victims under the guse OF
horrid mask. Jack Keteh was proyerbially a
vulgar miscreant in heart, garb. AID manners. The
condemned could feel the appropriateness OF dying
felons death by such hands.
If it be claimed that Douglas cannot properly be
c!assed among criminals about to be put to death
for ofensts against his party, but that the fight
precptated upon him is moro analogous to the
duello, then we insist that the canons OF the code
required that an enemy who had put upon him
some peculiar indigity, or, at oil events, man
who had not laid him under obligations By great
service, rendered at critical period should have
been chosen to cross rspers with Tim lie had
light TO require that his foes though showing him

The Breckenridge Democrats of Illinois held
State Convention at Springfield yesterday, and
nominated straight ticket for State officers aud
Presidential electors. Resolutions were passed
urging the members of the party TO pursue SINH
lsr course in every county and every Senatorial
District. This does not look like the submission
to the Douglas party which has been reported
within the last ten days as finally resolved on by
toe leaders Of the Siave-Codc Democracy of Hi
nois. They mean to wage the war to the death.

who have summary dismissed nine teachers, are
wrong at al, they are very wrong indeed, AID
.bou]d themselves be removed in the way the law
provides. The charges brought against toe'e
teachers are that the schools under their charge
decreased in attendance in one year from wv TO
$50 each to 10 t. 10; that resolutions calculated
to improve those schools had been dsregarded;
that the Principal of School No. 7, Mr. Smith, nad
made false reports. and that he allowed hs su oor-
d;natea 10 absort themselves without reporting
their delipouencies. No specific charge was made
against any other teacher, but the whole force OF
nine was nevertheless dismissed.
In ,uiry being made into The truth OF these ALE
cations it seems, if we may trust the report oil the
specia Committee Of the Board of Educaiio that
no CON plaint had ever been made Of Mr.. Smith or
any other teacher before they were notified that
their services were no longer wanted; thss no false
reports had ever been made by him to the Board;
that the decrease in attendance had been very
much exaggerated, and was not at all UNUSUAL;
and that there was reason to suppose that the
teachers had been dismissed on sectarian grounds,
or else TO make room for favorites of members of
the Board. Under such circumstances, the Board
of Education could do 10 less than mark the act
Of the local Off GERS with their grave disapproba-
tion. and take measures to prevent repetition OF
the ofiense.
Nor do We see any improperly, supposing oil tho
facts of the case to be stated and that the Board
of Education is without the power OF reinstatiug
the dspossessed teachers, in the refusal to pay the
salaries of those who had been appointed in their
places. There should be esprit dn corps enough
nnong the ieachers of the city to refuse to take
places made vacant for them BY such an abuse OF
power. If it is wanting in this case, work without
pay, for while, may possibly bring the new in
cumbents to a sense of how shabby and mean
thing they did in consentipg to occupy posts made
vacant by an act of such gross injustice. Ii no
other remedy ID to be applied to the act OF Ward
officers they will certainly find ii difficult to fill
the teachers desks without salaries attached to
them.

Another Daily.

We learn from good authority that there are
politicians-young, aspiring and promising of
course-whe desire the establishment of politi-
cal daily paper in Newbern. Their reasons for
wishing such enterprise, we suppose, are better
known to themselves than to any body else, and
while doubtless they would be willing to mount
by means of such a ladder, we question their dis
position to furnish their quota for its construction
We shall hail the establishment of another daily
at any time, as an evidence of our material pro-
zress, and could but wish such an enterprise
brilliant success; and consequently, having an
extensive publishing colcern already established
and sufficient force and material for the execution
of large amount of work, if it will further
the wishes of the projectors of an undertaking
so 4adable, we will willingly undertake the print
inq of such paper, by contract, provided they
not get practical man to take hold There is an
immense amounnt of talent connected with both
parties in this section and of course they would
require no editorial assistance. Patriotism will
readily and cheerfuy render all the labor required
in that department. But AS those who print are
generally dependent on their labor for their bread
and butter, and have but little time to devote to
patriotism, (politically speaking,) we should re-
quire, in undertaking such contract, some guaran-
terprise. Our experience in politics is. that it is
very nice thing for those who ,cin but those who
control the party organs " and who perform the
most laborious part of the work, are, generally,
not of that class.
When political daily becomes paying insti-
tuition in Newbern we shall advocate railroad

LADIES SHOULD READ NEWsPAPERs.-It is
one great mistake in female education to keep
young lady's time and attention devoted to only
fashionable literature of the day. If you would
qualify her for conversation, you must give her
scmething to talk about, give her education with
the actual world and its transpiring events. Urge
her to read newspapers and become familiar with
the present character and improvement of our
History is of some importance, but the
past world is dead. and have little compara-
lively to do with it. Our thoughts and con-
Germs should be for the present world, to know
what it is, and improve its condition. Let her
have an intelligent conversation concerning the
mental. moral, political, and religious improve
ments of our times. Let the gilded annals and
poems the centre table be kept apart of the
time covered with journals Let the family
men. women and children, read the newspapers.
