A Sensible Negro Speech.

A convention Of negroes was recent,
held at Raleigh, North Carolina. The
best speech during it's session was made
by j. III. Harris a native OF Raleigh, and
late the delegate from the League to the
Convention at Cleveland Harris is well
known 10 Cleveland, has written book Of
colored men 10 the country. He also has
a good supply of common sense, aud has
done more for the real good Of his race
than all the political colored oraters 10 the
land:
Mr.. Harris labored to show the colored
people that their bsst friends were the 10.
telligent white class Of the South, and not
the people Of the North; that their free lom
bad been achieved by law of necessity, as
military measure and not by military
crusade Of the Northern army, as many
bad supposed. lie cited the prejadice
which was prevailing at the north which
shut the colored man out from every
avenue Of employment, while in the South
every branch ofindustry 10 the mechanic
arts and the cultivation of the soil was
open to him
There had never been such exhibitions
OF diabolcal and murderous hate shown
toward the coored race ia the history OF
tho world as were developed 10 the New
York MobS of 1863, aud in other Northern
cities. 1t was no place for the colored
man to look for an asylum They must
remain where they were work out their
own destiny side by side With the white man.
They could not and would not migrate O.
be colonized He had Travelled forty thou
sand miles 10 search of er country
be had made the circuit Of the West Inda
Islands and had gone over Africa but he
bad now returned 10 his native state Of
North Carolina, where be intended ta
live, TO die, and be buried He counseled
moderation, kindness, and patient and re.
spectful demeanor toward the whites, and
the effort TO make their interests mutual,
showing them that they (the colored
people) were not their eneu les.
The past should be buried in oblivion
a1d the future only engage their Efforts to
improve aud elevate themselves. This
speech was in the happiest vein, and kept
the house in roar of merriment. It's effect
was most happy upon the minds of the
multitude, and must do much to diabuse
them of many false and injurious notions
lie was not in favor Of making large de.
mands at this time for their rights, bat
allow the present misunderstanding and
consequent ilI-feeling to cool, when they
would be sure 10 receive what they had
right to claim. God had and would care
for all, black as well as white.

Small talk and shop.tslk was noticed.
Also the style of conversation In con-
trees with tho discourse. And lastly, IL
was considered In moral view. Prof.
Buckham by his discourse contributed
much to the convention .....
The convention assembled for the
evening session promptly at the time.
Secretary Adams stated that by reason
of the detention of the lecturer until
about o'clock he would offer for dis
cussion the following resolution, via:
That greater prominence should be
given to reading In common schools.
The question was warmly discussed,
eliciting from some members stirring
and eloquent remarks. twas at length
ordered to lie on the table.
Then followed for the large audience
q rich treat by Mr.. Atkinson of Harvord
University, on industrial and scientific
education. This worthy address will
have to be treated as above. He
showed that education was not a fixed,
but variable term. There is broad
and narrow definition of the term. Even
in speaking of schools he will have ref
erence to the wider Specification. The
real question was to us, What should be
the education of New England repub-
lican in the middle of the 10th century
He gave answer from comparison of
other times. The dark ages with monks
and monasteries, warlike mobiles and
servile retainers, were cited. And later,
Europe at the revival of letters. What
may be the education of one natiou, may
be the A c of another. He spoke in
favor OF discriminating ourselves of
Latin and Greek, as of the greatest &C
count in our higher institutions, and
supplying their places by the physical
sciences. This must be the character of
our national education.
The present method of College prep
aration is entirely wrong. 1t Is but Pc
dantic curriculum and to remedy this the
requirements of the College must be
changed. He would see more of what is
called abject teaching, not only in our
common schools, but the interest carried
into life. The monopoly of the College
should be broken down, and all permit
ted to pursue the teaching of nature
from simplicity to the gravest questions
of physical science. The meeting ad-
journed till the time of session, Febru-
airy LIST.
The people of Brattlebore cannot be
too loudly complimented for their over
flowing hospitality. | am sure all their
guests count these days doubly pleasant
from snch kindness.

RUTLAND HEkALD.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY ., 1855,


The Boston Board of Trade held a
seeting on Tuesday evening, TO consider
and discuss the Northern Pacific Rail
road enterprise Letters were read from
seuators and Representatives in Con-
sress, and a member from Michigan, and
one from Idaho were present aud adj
dressed the meeting. The general tone
ofremark seemed to indicate that should
the proposed road be completed the com
nerce of the civilized world would be
revolutionized, and Boston become In
reality as we'll as in joke the hub of
the universe
Ex-Governor Smith of this State,
President of the Northern Pacific Rail
road, was in attendance, and In some re-
marks in which he INDUCED said that he
believed the grant of land by the gov
eminent was an element of success Of
the road. AS the charter expired in July
next, something must be done soon, and
the question now was--What is to be
done? They had undertaken to give
New England the advantage of tho en-
. terprise, and if 1t was now lost we
would fall to receive our share of the
benefits OF the road. He thought If an
other route was selected, or a char.
ter obtained for another route, 1t would
be detrimental to the interests OF New
England, and he did not believe the re.
8sources of the country along any other
route would approach in richness that
along the proposed line Of the Northern
3Pachc road. The line OF policy of the
Directors, he said, was to build 8 road
rom the head waters OF the Superior to
the Missouri river, then traverse by
steamer the Missouri river, and then
construct a road to the head waters of
the Columbia river. If they had fifteen
millions of dollars this line could be
completed in three years and put in prac-
sical operation. To encourage emigra-
zion they proposed to organize a bureau
Of emigration, and already efforts are
being made to have the country popu-
dated by emigrants from foreign coun-
tries. They further propose to go to
! Congress for an amendment Of the char
Ter OF the road so as to allow them to
enter the State of Michigan and reach
the wealthy portions of that State.
They had no doubt of the cordial and
sarnest support Of the government.

ley of West Virginia and John L. Thorn
as of Maryland, who were absent from
the House when the District suffrage
bill passed, asked to have their names
recorded against 1t, but the House re-
fused.
Gen. Schenck of the House committee
desires the new army bill to provide for
100000 men Gen Grant thinks $4,000
to $4,000 will do, while Senator Wilson
deems $4,000 sufficient.
A committee of the National Acad-
envy Of Science has conferred with the
House committee on coinage, weights
and measures, to consider the feasibility
ofintroducing the decimal system.
1t is represented that the House pos
tai committee will reconsider its vote
in favor of requiring postage to be pre-
paid on all printed matter, on the
ground that it wonld be another tax on
knowledge.
The secretary Of the treasury Is in
favor Of an increase ON one hundred
millions of the national banking capital
in case the banks are required to re-
deem at New York, Boston, Or Philadel-
phia,
A communication has been sent to
the Senate by the president, which
states that 1t Is Inconsistent with the
public interest to furnish the letters Of
Gen Sheridan and other officers on the
Rio Grande, relative to any violation Of
the neutrality law.
Senator Wilson has introduced bill
to increase the number OF cadets at
West Point, and to raise che standard
of admission. The bill authorizes the

Der of troops furnished the army of the

During a recent debate In the Senate
man in the gallery threw penuts and
8 brass key at Senator Wilson. He was
taken TO the proper guard room, where
he gave his name as Robey Of East
Cambridge, and said that he was dis
charged soldier. AS he was evidently
insane, Senator Wilson declined to ap-
pear sgaiast him, and he was sent to
the insane asylum. r5--
The House, amid some excitement, on
Tuesday, considered the resolution re-
ported by the committee on claims, that

Rast0r R~tkos& Herald The convention
assembled at 9 o'clock and organized
with Gen. Phelps in the chair. D. j.
Newland of Rutland was chosen Score
tary and Rev. Mr.. Ketchum of Brattle-
boro as Assistant The following gen
tlemen were appointed committee on
business j. s. Spaulding Of Barre,
Henry Clark of Poultney and A. D. Ha-
gar Of ProctorsviIle
Mr.. H. Buckham, B. F. Bingham and
L. E. Quimby were chosen committee on
nominations
The exercises Of the session were then
opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Ste
vens. Next followed the discussion on
the question Of elementary arithmetic,
opened by L. E. Quimby OF Newbury
Seminary He said he was not satisfied
with arithmetic as found taught and I'M
derstood in our common schools. All
will admit there are two objects in this
study, viz mental discipline and in
structton per &C. By which comes In
the science and the art. The question
arises whether arithmetic should con.
sIst Of the principles with practical ex-
amples attached or not, This is too ad-
vanced for young pupils. But elementary
or primary arithmetic should contain at
frat only objects or pictures, and only
at length arrive at the abstract. In his
opinion the Elementary Arithmetic
should reach only to the simplest frac-
tons, or at fartherest to denominate
numbers, He continued his remarks on
the characters Of the next book in order.
Sec. Adams followed in interesting
remarks. He was in hopes this topic
would be grappled and fully discussed.
AS member of the Board of Education
he said their action was not to be screen
ed, but discussed freely by the teachers
of the State present.
He could show to the favor Of the
present system of education the vast
Improvement during the past few years.
Speaking of the authorized list of text
books, it was not made as comprising
the best books, but to secure the prsss-
ep1s, and in time the best bseks would be
seesred. Greenleafs Higher Arithmetic
has no place in the common school. The
tendency of the present day is the lug
gtng to school of great books by the
strtpliug-the merest youth. And the
greater the book Just 90 much the better.
Greenleafs series he did not think. nor
uphold as the best. But parents must
bring about the change, if any ia TO be
made. The agitation must begin with
them
MIR, Bishop of Windsor remarked
that in his opinion 1t was not tha pre-
rogati7e Of parents to make such selec.
ton, az not knowing go we'll the need.
Mr. George N. Abbott of Burlington
discusses the question by comparing
two nations with reference to two re-
suits The Greek mind in mathematics
was synthetic as Euclid and Geometry
bear witness, The Hi0d0o was snalg-
tic, turning everything into practical
rules, losing the principles, ard fnally
losing the rules themselves And this
he thought our present tendency in the
study OF mathematics. He thinks too
