Since Mr.. Hubbelrs declarations I have
thought come Of going for Lincoln. But last
evening as one Of our honest German citizens
was quietly passing along Second street, be-

down and severely bitten. He applied to one
Of our J. P.'s and was BY him directed to His
Honor the Mayor for justice. His Honor. ..

Was NO remedy in such cases. unless he could
prove that at least five persons had been bit
ten by the aforesaid dog.
Now have only to say that If under Re

one dog before he can get relrsss, want time

MODE OF TEACHING.
The primary aim Of all our teaching has
been to lead the mind to the proper and con
scious use of its own faculties. Willie . good
degree Of general and particular information
has been ineuleated, the common idea Of mere
book knowledge has been ignored; and in
place Of it the pupil has been trained to the
practical exercises Of bis mental powers. aud
the proper application ofths knowledge which
he has already attained.
This method Of teaching 90, generally ever.
looked, becomes an absolute necessity in out
Common School system. where 20 many purils
never reach the higher departments Of learn
ing and are thus unable to secure the daphne
to be gained by the regular curriculum Of the
High School or College.
This plan Of ofinstruction carried out by Efficient
teachers enable, the pupil at whatever age he
NAV leave school. to make the wisest use Of his
abilities. though his opportunities for im
provemsnt may have been very limited.

NEGROES EXPELLED FROM CANADIAN
TOwSsHIP.-The Detroit (Aich.) Fee Pres,
states that all the negroes have been sum-
marily expelled from the township of Ander-
son, Essex county, in Canada This town
ship was as thickly populated with negroes
rs any in Canada. but they have lately be-
come so bold in their depredations and
crimes that there presence WAS no longer
endurnble. Accordingly, the authorities of
the township petitioned The grand jury las,
fall to take action relative to them; aud the
jury. in consequence, presented them as a
nuisance. Their outrage eliminated iew
weeks since in an attack upon a number OF
peaceable and deiensele~s citizens, and now
the day.of retribution has oyertak ken them.
The whole lot have been summarily driven
out of the township. They had been given
homes, but they 50 abused the kindness ex-
tended them, that the authorities were OBJ
liged. in order to protect their lives aud
property. To drive them out as they would so

The Memphis Post Omce-Col. VIM.
HI. Carroll.

We understand that efforts have been made
10 remove Col. w. III. Carroll from the Mem.
phis Post Office. 1t Is useless for Us TO say
that all such efforts will fail. and that the en-
emies of Democracy will not have the pleas
ure OF seeing a man that has 80 long warred
upon them struck down. We learn that the
removal OF Col. Carroll is predicated on the
fact that he fayors the doctrine OF popular
sovereignty and drprecates the war on Judge
Douglas, whom he still regards loyal
Democrat, and expresses willingness TO sup
port if nominated Memphis AUalanche.
Who are seeking to have Col. CARROLL re-
moved? Surely they are not "enemies of de-
mocracy," but members of that d-spotic or
ganizatiOn, which calling itself Democracy,
endcavors to crush out all independence OF
thought and speech. The Postmaster at Mem
phfs ought not to expect any thing better.
He is a supporter of Mr.. BUCHANAN, and is
fully aware Of the fact that the President has
guiIlotined hundreds of democratic Office
holders for presuming to think better of
DOUGLAS than he does; thereby whetting the
appetites of party cormorants, and putting
them everywhere on the watch for prey.
