"TRE WAR A FAILURE. The New York

that plank in the platform which pronoun.
The Chicago Convention ''explicitly de-
ciares" in it's platform that the war Is .
failure, and that we must resort To other
means than warlike ones to settle the DIFF
ferences between the people of the United
States and the friends aud adhereuts of

the men Of the Chicago Convention should

~ that part Of the war that was conducted
and carried on by General Mcclellan, the
savorite hero aud leader of the Chicago pa
triois. Unquestionably they, like sensible
men, talk OF the things they know most
about, and when they SPEAK OF the war
they mean General McClellan's part Of It.
We car, therefore. agree with me Chicago

doubt that the war, as carried ON BY the
nominee of that convention, was most
decided failure.

he not only held his own in his debates

the better of him. He has beer deliberate
and slow, but when he puts his foot down,
it is with the determination aud certainty
with which our generals take their steps,
and like them, when he takes = city, no

noble and kind-hearted, he is = child Of
the people. Go to him with story OF woe,
and he will weep like q child. This man,
80 condemned, works more hours than any
other President that ever occupied the
chair. His solicitude for the public welfare
is never ceasing. differed from him at
that he was right, and shall vote for this
brave, true, patriotic, kind-hearied man.
All mis- faults and mistakes you have seen.
All mis- virtues you never can know. His
patience in labor Is wonderful. He works
TAR harder than any man in Erie county.
AT the head OF this great nation, look st It:
be has all the bills to sign passed By Con-
gress. No one can be appointed to any
Office without his approval; no one can be
punished without the Judgment receives
his signature, and no one pardoned With

always just, we propose now 10 -e-elect to
the Presidency. 10 swap Oh such man

standing around hearing my speeches, for
them not to DO deceived and run away ON q
mistaken idea Of liberty. And though I
believe that this war and the rebellion
would result in their immediate emancipa-
ton, yet want to say to them in candor
that freedom simply meant liberty TO work
and enjoy the products Of their labor, and
that was all there was Of It; that freedom
didn't mean that they were to be turned
loose, a. most Of them are now in my

Take the narrowest view the matter you
tcan, without reference to colonization be-
yond the United States, il they are to re-
main there, their labor can be made more
productive to the State and nation by their
freedom than under slavery. The negro

ssg- The "High-Pressure" System j

Ess- The "High-Pressure' System in
our schools is discussed with much
ability in the report of John d. Phil
brick, Superintendent of the Public
Schools of Boston, which has just APP
peared. The long experience of this
gentleman as teacher, and the i'm
portant Office he holds, will give added
weight to his testimony. He says =
81 am fully convinced that, in some
of these schools the pupils are over
worked to such an extent as to consti-
tute an evil of great magnitude. This
evil exists in both the upper and lower
classes, but it is more fully developed,
and more injurious in its effects in the
highest divisions, where the pupils are
competing for medals. 1t is found in
the schools for boys as well as in the
schools for girls, although it is more
general and more harmful in the latter
The baneful effects of this mistake sys-
tenn are not limited to a few individual
pupils, who come to school in delicate
health, and without the ordinary power
of endurance. They are destructive
to the health of scores and hundreds
who commence their school life with
sound and vigorous bodies. The
hurtful system operates in three ways
to the injury of pupils, physically
by preventing bodily exercise and rec
reation mentally, by exacting to,
constant and too severe intellectual
application and morally by unneces
sarily tempting children to deceive il
order to escape the consequences o
failures in lessons"
