Democracy On It's Last Legs.

The deed is consumated. The child

labor interests Of the south, nominating
John G. breckenridge, of Ky, and 30
Lane, Of Oregon, for the highest offices
within the gift of the people. Deinoc-

has outwinded the Administration by
ousting southern delegates opposed to
him and admitting others in their stead.

the victory was achieved. RepubIi-
cans have but little to fear. The sece-

deathly hatred, and the result will be
that Oh the 4th of March, 1861, the III

by one whose integrity is undoubted,

Editorial Correspondence.
GAINESVILLE, June 18th, 1860

GAINESVILLE, June 18th, 1860.
Arriving at this city in the "wee
small hours" of Saturday night, we
found friends awaiting to welcome US
to their hospitality. If there is ever a
time in mans life when the fins of love
are increased to intensity, it is when
the old mother imprints a holy caress
on the lips Of returned child; it is
when the whole household exhibit
those attentions, which only the deep
est affection could suggest. 1t makes
one grow younger to realize the holy,
unselfsh love of those he holds most
dear.
Of course, GAINESVILLE is increasing,
as she ever has been, in wealth and
population. It is the most lively in
land town in the State. 1t boasts of a
"Daily," Of huge blocks, palatial resi-
dences, and nine large Touring mills.
The Hyatt House, the second in size in
the State, is temporarily closed. 1t is
a magnificent structure, five stories
high, and cost about 1925, 900. A
gorgeous high school is located On the
east bill, commanded fine view Of the
whole city. 1t cost $4,000. The
ward school-houses are large, substan-
tial buildings. The Blind Asylum is
also located here, and is a structure
becoming the enterprise Of the State.
In SO, we could see no beauty about
GAINESVILLE, but now everything is shap-
with an eye to splendor and good
taste.
While at Green Bay, a good joke
was played on Geo. Hyer, of the Mad
ison Patriot. The next day after his
arrival, the AdUocate announced that
''Tom Hyer, the man who whipped
Yankee Sullivan on the Boston -Four
Corners, and the President of The Edi-
torial Association, has arrived" Hyer
noticed that he was the ''observed of
all observers - the little boys following
and talking in an undertone. Taking
8 seat for shave in the barber shop,
the negro barber was extremely atten-
tive and polite. Geo. thought it prop
er to acknowledge his attentions with
a compliment, and therefore quietly
suggested that "the razor was in ex-
cellent condition-he had not been
shaved SO smoothly and SO easily in
many a day" "Ah, sir, I am glad it
suits you but, sir, / never supposed /
should have the honor OF shaving Tom
Hyer. Why, sir, you are not SO large
as supposed" No. replied Hyer,
II am not in fighting condition, but
you can see the size Of my ARM" at
the same time exhibiting an arm COW
cred with two coat sleeves. ''But you
are not SO heavy as | had learned"
mo, I am not very AeGuy, but full of
| fight" whereupon George left to give
vent to hearty laugh. B.

DEMOCRATIC ExTRAyAGANcE. -
When Mr.. Buchanan entered upon the
duties of the Presidential office, there
was surplus Of eighteen millions in
the Z. S. Treasury aud public debt
Of only twenty-nine millions. During
the last three years Mr.. Buchanan and
his party friends have managed to
squander this surplus as well as the an
nual revenue, and have swollen the
public debt to siety-sic millions. This
IS sample Of the economy and reform
that the People were promised, if they
would trust the Sham Democracy with
power for another term.

Palermo, city of 100, 900 people, and
guarded by Is, 900 of the Kihg 's troops.

Pooh PAY-PooR TEACHING. we
know Of districts where teachers receive
50 week and board around, and we
know of one where teacher gets 50
week and boards herself We are
sorry to hear of such payment of wa
ges, but regret still more to learn that
the teacher in the instance last referred
to, probably receives all she is worth.
What kind of education do our people
expect to get at such a price? They
pay muscular girls more for handlin Q
lnanimate mops and earthenware. Are
children's minds deserving of no more
| careful treatment than a peachtree or a
rosebush? Yet we hardly think these
will be properly set and trained by
cheap laborers. Let us have teachers
fit for their business, and then paw
them for their work. Moreover. let
no able-bodied girl who can earn but
81 per week keeping school, be too
proud to earn more keeping house
Sewing and teaching are often said to
be all there is for woman to do. We
know better; and we know that that
1dea keeps great many poor teachers
on the list of applicants for situations
Illinois Teacher.
The above is sound. The idea of a
teacher receiving but two dollars a
week for lnstructing lot Of urchins as
unruly as flock Of sheep is preposter-
GUS It's worth that To ttHo1r7 q.n,,,,J -
If there is anything Of Importance in
this life, it is to give our children the
advantages Of a good education. Let
us drink less whiskey, chew less tobac-
CO, spend less uselessIy, and build more
ornamental school-houses, and place
therein teachers whose services are
worth forty dollars per. month, and not
employ Greek to instruct Greek. We
will then have done our duty.
