PUBLIC SCHooLs.-A correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, in communication
inserted in that paper on the 2lst, headed
Madison, Ind, and Her Schools, y writes
as follows, in speaking of visit to the Mad
isen schools:
The Superintendent of the Schools, Mr..
Crittenden, informed US there was not an
other city in the State, not even the capital,
where the children attended school ten
months in the year except Madison. For
this commendable zeal in educating the
young, they are already reaping blessed re-
suits. They hope soon to have better
and more complete system for the whole
State.
The Commercial writer is mistaken
Evansville, Ind, not only keeps her public
schools open ten months in the year, but
has a system that is surpassed by the pub
lie schools of few cities of the size in the
Union for completeness and thoroughness
The school buildings are substantial and
roomy, the apparatus, &C, of the most ap
proved styles, and the trustees and teacher
are I'D with the times in educationa
matters.

Any scheme for changing our basis Of
government which is not carried on in pur-
suance Of the above provision is revolution,
and should be SO treated. There is a right
and wrong way of doing everything
There is only one right way-of amending
our Constitution and altering our present
condition or mode of government, and that
way is laid down in the Constitution so
plainly that all can understand. The Union
men of Kentucky and the Legislature of
that State have taken the correct view OF
the subject and are proceeding in the reg
ular form. We believe we are justi6able
in saying that the other slave States will
find it TO their best interest to follow the
laudable example of Kentucky.
Let it be understood that the Republicans
are to be allowed to inaugurate in peace the
President they have constitutionally elect
ed that the control of the government they
hare fairly won is to be given up to then
without disorder; that their right to exercise
the common privileges of citizenship is mo-
to be gainsayed; that their opponents, de
nying the right of secession, will yield u
to them the places they have held and con
cede the right of the Republicans to govern
the country in their turn; that the way Il
redress alleged wrongs is not by violent
incOnsiderate revolution, but by regular an
peacesble action within the Union and IN
der the COustitutioO-let these THINGS al
be understood and acknowledged, and n
doubt the Republican party will consent,
a man, to the calling of a National Conven
ton, and be perfectly willing to redres
therein all real grievances suffered by the
brethren of the South.

BsB@The Tennessee Union papers are urg-
ing upon the Union men in the seeded
States to take immediate steps for the form
alton of organizations looking to the repeal
of secession. This is a move in the right
direction, and if the Union men of the South
will wipe out the Secessionists as quickly as
the people of the North will the Republican
party if its leaders attempt to interfere with
any of the rights of the South under the
Constitution, but little time will elapse be-
fore harmony will be restored to distract
ed country.

sEg~A special dispatch to the New York
Post, dated Washington, 22d, says Presi-
dent Buchanan countermanded the order for
parade of the army forces, and also the
order for firing national salutes, to sat
isfy secessionists. A more pusillanimous old
granny never domineered in kitchen than
now controls the destinies of 100000 of
people, Thank God his authority ceases
on Monday next.

BeB@ An extra session of Congress is an
ticipated, and an extra session of our State
Legislature may be rendered necessary by
the obstacles thrown in the way of business
by the Democracy, and by the exciting char
acter of the times. The regular session OF
the Legislature will end on the 10th of
March, and if there is any serious trouble
after Lincoln's Inauguration tlfAt body GER
tainly ought to be in session and prepared
to act on emergencies.

In our telegraphic dispatches will be
found accounts of the design to assaSsinate
Mr.. Lincoln and of his r,tSe to avoid the
danger. The secession sympathizers are
getting desperate, as shown by the deadly
attack made on Van Wyck and the plot for
destroying the life of the President elect
What is the country coming to? Have we
adopted the Mexican system of revolutions
and pronunciamentos, and the Italian sys-
TEN of assassination Truly has this coun-
try fallen on evil times"

nsauT The work of assassination seems to
have commenced in good earnest at Wash
ingfon. A dastardly attempt was made to
take the life of Mr.. Van Wyck, member of
the House from New York, which was only
saved through the instrumentality of the
Washington Globe and his own GOODNESS
and pluck. 1t will be well enough for the
President elect to keep sharp lookout.

A National constitutional COnven-


In reference TO the adequacy of our pres
ent Federal Constitution to sustain the gov
eminent it was designed to perpetuate, there
are two different views entertained. One
class of persons think that the Constitution
needs no amendment-thati if properly car
ried out and the laws made in pursuance OF
it enforced, that instrument is entirely COM
petent to keep the Union together and to
conserve it. Another class-amongst them
that great statesman, VIM. E. Seward, as
NAV fairly be inferred from his published
expressions think it very probable that
the instrument under which the govern
ment has been working for the greater part
of a century may be getting little out of
order that the changes of time and the
advent of new circumstances may require
new provisions, new constructions, of the
Constitution in order that the vast govern
mental machine may continue to work har-
moniously and smoothly as in times past.
1t is given out that the Republicans in
Congress are generally willing to agree to
the calling of a National Convention, in the
mode prescribed by the Constitution, whose
duty it shall be to overhaul our fundament-
al law and ascertain whether it needs
amendment. At our State capital many
Republicans of the straitest sect " are to
be found who would willingly agree tc
such proposition, coming from the Peace
Congress or from any other source equally
respectable.
The proposition to call National Con-
vention in relation to present troubles was
first made by the Legislature of Kentucky
at its late session. Guided by the Constitu-
ton of the United States, that body, in the
spirit of patriotism, decency, and order
spurned all irregular modes of proceeding,
