In the process of any system of mental train

mind filled with admiration The expanding
mind of youth ia useful exercise, though
scarcely tutored farther than TO curb its dis
orderly outbursts, is beautiful-is lovely !; but
when we remember how many diiigent teach
ers are laboriag to train youths in Nashville,
and how much incidental discipline they
have at home, from Intelligent and well-bred
parents, is it not empty Barnumism to talk
of showing forth the merits of our system. or
the Illness OF the general Superintendent,

The questions which the people of the city
wish discussed, il can read the public mind,
are not whether there are smart children and
able teachers in the schools. Every one adj
mits that there are both; and everybody is
thankful to God. that there are both. But
the inquisitive, progressive mass of our citi-
zens, desire TO know whether the Superinten-
dent is keeping up with the educational i'm
provements OF the age; whether the best
books are used in the schools, and whether a
child is allowed 10 master one book on sci
is d. tn toll To no DIT
riment of his own progress, and OF his PARENTS
pocket; whether all the powerful aids OF
mental development, such as phonetic read
ing aud photography, whose utility is con-
ceded by perhaps the entire civilized, cer-
tainiy By tho entire enlightened world. are wei-S
coined by the Superintendent, as harbingers
of additional light, or whether, in the spirit of
Chinese policy. they are treated by him with
repulsive GOODNESS. or even with aversion and
figned contempt whether faithful teachers
are invariably taken warmly by the hand,
and encouraged in their arduous duties, or
whether some of the most diligent and ac-
cOmplished are sacrificed for slight reasons

belong would like to know whether it is

Mr.. Sheets. Of California. hoped the gen.

Mr.. o. Smith, intend to be heard. I
must say that the convention is acting like
sick Child who shows great reluctance to
take physic. he repeated that the resolu-
ton known as the unit rule which had been
adopted by the Convention has been desig-
mated to him by al Illinois delegate as an
international designed trick and fraud upon
the Convention. [Cries Of order, and much
indignation and excitement
Mr.. Moffatt was called to order and yielded
the floor to Mr.. Lander. of North Carolina,
who announced that The majority CT The
North Carolina delegates. on account of what
they conceived to be an outrage perpetrated
upon the people of the South, would with
draw from the Convention. Northern Demo-
Gratis had heretofore given fair play to the
South, but they did SO no longer. He there
fore announced that of the delegates would
retire.
Dir. Ewing. of Tennessee. said the dele
gates from that State had exhibited 10 that
Convention. as far possible, every DISPOSE
ton to harmonic the labors of the Conven-
ton and briag them TO happy result. They
were the first TO propose resolutions and har-
moniz the platform. They had candidate,
dear to them, and had cast him away to har-
monte the Convention. As man, the dele
CATION now asked leave to retire, temporarily,
for consultation as to what their future action
should be.
Mr. Caldwell, of Kentucky. on the part of
portion of the delegation from that State
desired to say that circumstances had arisen
which make it doubtful i'll the midst OF the
delegation whether they can consent TO con-
time with this body They had come here
to nomin ate candidate acceptable to all the
Union; this appeared now to be doubtful in
view of the process of dissention which had
been going on. They did not wish to retire
from The Convention on any technical
grounds. but did not wish to participate in
making new motions not acceptable to ali
parts of the Union. Th, y were not yet pre-
pared TO withdraw from tho Convention, but
asked leave retire for consultation.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.

Or HERALD.
NEW YORK. June 10. 176O.
There is no foundation for the statement
in the daily press of to-day that | have writ
ten letter fivoring the nomination of Mr..
Douglas for the Presidency. or that have
Condemned the secession of The Southern
States from the Charleston Convention.
l have written no such letter, and express
ed no opinion contradcting my well known
position on these subjects. My position has
not in the least altered from what it was
when attended the Charleston Convention.
| am in favor of the restoration of peace to
our troubled counsrls, of clear and un-
equivocal declaration of the rights of the
S Juth to take its property into The Terrific
ries, and 10 De protected there in those rights,
and of the nomination OF candidate who
will command the support of the national
democracy in every State.
II. however, the Convention now in session
at Baltimore shall agree upon platform ana
a candidate not altogether in keeping with
my own views, L SHALL nevertheless, deem it
the duty of every lover OF his country to
rally to the support of its proceedings.
The danger OF republican success, growing
out of our divisions, is too imminent for any
democrat TO allow his individual preferences
to interfere with the succ, IS of the demo-
cratic party at this critical juncture in the
affairs of the country. Very respectfully,
yours, FERNANDO WOOD.
