Educate the Whole Man.

Every boy should have his head, his
heart and his hand educated: let this
truth never be forgotten. @
By the education of his head, he will
be taught what is good and what is evil
what is wise and what is foolish, what is
right and what is wrong. BY the proper
education of his heart, he will be taught
to love what is good, wise and right, and
to hate what is evil. foolish and wrong;
and by the proper education Of his hand,
he will be enabled to supply his wants,
to add tc his comforts; and to assist those
who are around him.

IOA.M. Nearly all the delegations TO
the Republican Convention have already
reached this city, and different State delega-
tons are assembling for consultation and in
terehance of opinions upon the course TO be
nursued in the selection of candidates. A
large number of delegates do not appear to
have made up their minds, and in some
cases their real preference will not be
manifest until the second or third ballot. A
number are unpledged, and will be governed
bv circumstances in giving their votes to the
candidate who, in their judgment, will best
bring out the full strength in the doubtful
States. The City is alive with excitement,
much exceeding any thing exhibited during
the Phi .adelphia Convention of 1856 The
attendance now is much larger than then.
Among the outside delegations are many
eminent and influential Republicans, includ-
ing score or more of members of Congress.
Senator Wilson of Mass. will not be here
