When Douglas was irving to crawl back
into the good graces of the fre.eaters last
winter, he suggested a practical reenact.
ment of the old Alien and Seditiou law.
Charging that the Harper's Ferry raid was
the result of fanaticism taught by Republi-
can presses, pamphlets aud speakers, he
suggested the following muzzling remedy
Mr.. President, the mcde of preserving
peace is plain. This system of sectional
warfare must cease. The Constitution has
given the power, and all we ask of Congress
is to give the means, and we, By indiet
ments and e0nUietiOns IN the Federal Courts
Of the SrsraI Statss wiH make such examples
Of The kadsrs of these cOaSpiraeies as loIkl
strike terror iaEO the hearts Of The Others, and
there will be an end Of this crusade. The
great principle that underlies the organiza-
tiOn Of the Republican party is violent,
irreconcilable, eternal warfare upon the
institution Of American Slavery, with the
view Of its ultimate extinction throughout
the land. Sir, confess the object Of the
legislation ! contemplate is to put down
this outside interference IL is to reprsT this

To this State especially, where Republican
ism is so vulnerable and where the slight offered
to Seward is remembered with such bitterness
by many Of his friends, we have fair prospect
to defeat LINCoLN.--.N Y. .Ne,Cs
The Netcs may as well give up the State
at once, if its only hope of success is bas-
ed upon the Indifference or lukewarmness
of Mr.. Stewards friends. Like their great
leader, they permit no personal disappont
ments to interfere with their zeal for the
triumph Of the principles which they cher
ish.
During the campaign, the Newe, in look
ing out upon the field of battle, will find
Mr. Stewards friends at the head of every
storming column and always in the thickest
of the fight. What they would have doue
for Mr.. Seward himself, they will do for
Mr.. Lincoln. They feel that their honor
is at stake in this contest and, if every
other state should falter, New York is Sc
cure for the principles and candidates OF
the Republican party. No slight" is re-
membered, and no bitterness" is cherished,
except toward a party which has prosti-
tuted the Government to promote the in-
terests of slavery Albany Journal.

in doing good-some real, permanent good
The teacher who does NOS, in all his teach
ing follow the dictates Of truth, and right,
and reason, is not truly excellent teacher,
no matter what praise the world may give
to him. The education which does not en-
tighten and develope the moral and religious
sentiments, and the social feelings, is a
curse rather than blessing to its recipient;
and hence, the teacher who does not make
it an object of continual, solicitous care TO
curb the perverted passions, and to devel-
ope and train TIE higher, nobler and holier
feelings Of youth, is not in the full sense
of the word good teacher, no matter how
much technical knowledge and book learn
ing he may have impaired We conclude,
therefore, that true excellence in teaching
consists, not in tamely trying to please ey-
erybody and thus to secure the reputation
of being good teachers, but that it consists
in the use of all proper and available means
and methods OF developing and training
the whole man in all his varied and god
like powers of action, thought and feeling,

Is it Cheaper.

Is it cheaper to build jails than it is to
educate your children in good morals, and
thus prevent their becoming inmates of our
prisons?
What sort of men will those young men
make who are allowed to frequent rum
holes, to smoke, swear or play cards
Do parents suppose they can hold the
reins of government over their sons, while
they permit them to spend their evenings
away from home, subjected to all the evil
influences which are always concentrated
in town?
L. it cheaper for a father to pay for the
mischief which his sons do, than it is to
buy them library Of books? If parents
would keep their sons contented at home,
let them take good newspapers so as to
furnish them with mental and moral food.
Is it not cheaper to furnish good books,
good papers and plenty of them for our
children, than it is to let them go with
out, and run the risk Of their contracting
a taste for immortality, tobacco and strong
drink
The daughters, too, should not be ne
elected. Take papers and magazines for
them, which will give them something to
think about, and then they will not grow
up silly, weak minded women, who take no
interest in anything but fashions, dress and
firtations.

!" She Has Gone to Rest

How is your mother ? was the anxious

Yes, mother has gone to rest; and, as

that he has invaded our home and left us
motherless. No more will we see ber smi-

rest. There is vacant place around the
family hearth; and there is q vacancy in
our hearts which none on earth can FILL
Dear reader, have you mother? Then

tie friends who have no mother, come, and

Positive Excellence.

There are two distinct methods Of teach
ing which will secure the reputation of be-
ing a good teacher, and yet, one of them
fails to impart to the learner some of the
most essential constituents of good COM
mon education There are those who have
the reputation of being good teachers, who
are not good teachers, while, ON the other
hand there are some really good and earn
est teachers, humbly wise and obscurely
useful who are toiling faithfully in their
noble vocation, and who, notwithstanding
this, are not thought of and appreciated as
good teachers. A teacher belonging to
that pliable class of human beings who
have not the moral courage to run counter
to old established customs, and local preju-
dices, will be good teacher in the eyes of
the community for which he is laboring, if
he submits to all their notions of right, and
if he introduce no innovations and he
may be negatively good teaeher-good,
not because he does much good, but because
he does nothing openly and positively
wrong. Negative excellence in teaching
assists in avoiding improper and wrong
methods of teaching; positive excellence
consists in not only avoiding the wrong, but

There is a spot to me most dear.

There is 4 spot to me more dear
Than native vale or fountain:
4 spot for which affections tear
Springs grateful from Its fountain

Though that on earth Is Heaven,
Bat where l first my Saviour found
And felt my sins forgiven.
Hard was my toll TO reach the shore.
Long toss'd upon the ocean;
Above me was the thnnder's roar,
Beneath the waves cOmmotiun.
DarEly the pail of night was thrown
around me faint with terror
In that dark hOur how did my groan
Ascend for years of error.
Sinking and painting as for breath,
knew not help S'as near me,
And cried, Oh save me, Lord, from death
Immortal Jesus hear me-"
Then quick as thought felt him mine
Ny Saviour stood before me;
| saw his brightness round me shine
And SHOUTED, "GlQryi GlDry!'
Oh, sacred heur. Oh, hallowe3 spotl
Where love divine first found me;
Wherever falls my distant lot,
My heart shall linger round thee:
And when from earth rise, to soar
Up TO nS hcme In Heaven,
Down Win cast my eyes snce more
Where was first forgiven.

Slippery PeopIe.

There is class of people who resemble
eels in their manner OF going through life.
They are your smooth people who slip
through the hand when you attempt to
catch them, and leave you wondering how
they could have escaped. The hand of
morals, law or right fails to hold them, and
yet they seem to recognize them all. A
bargain with such men always results in
their gain; there is some loop left for them
to hang an advantage on; something that
will rebound to their particular glori6cation
or profit They are splendid managers Of
benevolent Institutions, occupy high places
in the moral world-for such are not those
men who get caught; and if they do get
caught, they manage TO slip through-are

ever way they fall, they light ell right
They are politicians, and always manage to
be on the winning side. In life, they are
unezceptionable, with characters excellent.
But they are slippery nevertheless, and
even while pr4ising them as men may, in

through to the end, the veil will be lifted

pauy under the command Of Captain Dent

who some time since were attacked by In

The details are of the most hearbfendIng

A private letter says that on the even

near small stream, the women and chill

greatly emaciated, SO much SO that their
bones almost protruded through their skin.
The women and children on seeing their
rescuers fell On their knees, and by the
most piteous walls implored for food. The
stout hearts of the soldiers were seftened
