School Reform.

1t ia noticeable fact that the proportion of
children between the ages of ten and sixteen
years, in attendance on our public schools,
has been far less during the past few wears
than ten years ago. Especially is this true
IN the large villages and in cities Our laws
make ample provision for the education of all
the children of the state. To educate is held
to be the duty of the state; it is justly regard
ed to be the best safeguard to life and prop
erty, the surest guaranty against poverty
and crime, and the taxation consequent there
on.
Every friend of good order, can but be i'm
pressed with the necessity of arresting the
growing tendency of boys to neglect school,
and to spend their time on the streets or
places OF low resort. While the schools are
open free to all, making it possible for all to
obtain priceless Inheritance, great num-
beers squander away their time, acquiring low
habits and allinto many vices. 1t is idle to
plead that parents, are responsible for the
training oftheir children, in respect to their
attendance at school; the state has an obi
CATION to perform in the matter It is the
business of the state, to protect itself against
the hazard of a class growing I'D in igns-
rance. ,t.s a.1l
Laws making school attendance eompul-
sorry, have beenenacted in other states with
most beneficial results. These laws assume
that good common school education is nee
essary 10 proper qualification for good citi-
zenship: they regard it criminal for any one
to neglect the means of education, or to de-
prive another of it. The laws of Massachu-
setts provide as foilows:
6 Each city. or town may make all needtul
| arrangements concerning habitual truants,
and children not attending school, or with
out any regular occupation, or growing up
in Ignorance, between seven and sixteen
years of age; and also all such Bylaws as
shall be deemed most conducive to their well
Flare and the good order ofsuch city or town
and there shall be annexed to such Bylaws
suitable penalties, not exceeding 500 for any
one breach: Provided that such By Laws
shall be approved by the Superior Court Of
| the county"
/ These provisions OF law, have had the mos
salutary effect in Massachusetts, the per cent
lage of attendance at school in the towns O
that state is much larger than where no sucl
! regulation exist, and corresponding dimin
uition of vice and crime is unquestionabl,
the result. The question of compulsory at
tendance at school, has been discussed in ed
ucat ioRal conventions in this state, and b,
some of them most experienced friends of GU
school system, and has been favorably rec
commended to the attention Of our law makers
We trust that inv view OF the growing evil 0
truancy, and the great army Of boys, who ar
receiving doubtful street education, instead
i OF awaiting themselves of good common
school education, the subject will receive
proper attention in the future legislation o
this state. ESSAY

BRICK PoMERoY AND THE DEMOCRATS
-Afewof the Democratic journals in this
State and elsewhere are attempting to
shake off Brick Pomery and his Lacrosse
Democ1at, and make the people believe
that it is not representative of the Dem
ocratic party. Pomeroy and his paper
have been growing 50 rapidly in favor
with the Democracy throughout the coun-
try, he has just established another paper
Of the same infamous stripe in The city OF
New York, the first number of which APP
peared last week 1t is therefore sheer
nonsense to attempt to have it appear that
Pomeroy is not in fellowship with the
great mass Of the Democratic party, while
the Democracy are every day becoming
more hungry for his political and infdel
dispensations. Pomeroys new paper il
called the Da0aocrat. The New York Fri
bnne noticing the first issue remarks il
might prove Democratic success in New
New York city, were it not for the follow
ing:

roys enterprise is, that about nine-tenth>
OF the Democratic party cannot read. He

Senator Doolittte and the Nero

Senator Doolittle has recently been
speaking in several towns in northern L.
diana. The burden of the piece he speaks
everywhere, is the interminablene He
has put togetherAa solemn form Of words,
which he has committed to memory in the
shape Of an Impeachment Of Congress. He
charges Congress with forcing anunatural
political equality between the white and
colored races-declares the bestowment
Of these rights upon the negro crime
against civilization, &c. The GAINESVILLE
Gazetts publishes extracts of a letter writ
ten By Senator Doolittle to that paper Ia
1852, Of which the following is-a spec;-
men a e@
The negro is entitled to his rights as q
man just as much as white man he has
as much right to himself, his wife and
children, and the bread he earns to feed
them, as | have to nine That is one idea,
but not the only one which concerns his
well being. THERE'S another,a and that is,
that he is entitled to home where he can
enjoy his rights. His natural home is IN
the hot climates Of the tropical zone, as
much as the white man 5 natural home is

NALLANDIGHANI.--Th traitor, Vallan-
'digham who was banished to Canada for
his reasonable and insurrectionary con-
duct during the war, has been taken up
by the Democrats Of Ohio, and put in
nomination for Congress- If any further
evidence has been wanting to prove that
the Democratic party has no real sympa.
thy with those who were on the side of
the Union in the late rebellion, this selec-
zion of Vallandigham renders it conclu-
siye. In the Convention which nominal
ed Vallandigham, Gen. Ward, who had
served in the Union army, was the next
prominent Democratic candidate. Val
landigham beat Gen. Ward in the Con-
vention by a large majority. The Democ-
racy thus evinced their decided prefer
.erence for one OF the most notorious Sc
.cessionists and traitors in all the northern
States, to man who had worn the uni
form OF Union General. Who will say,
IN view Of such facts as these, that the
sympathies Of the Democratic party, north
as well as south, are not on the side of the
ex-rebels, and those who directly and in
directly aided the rebellion? With what
consistency can any one claim to be I'm
ion man who is associated with party
chat prefers such man as the traitor Val
landlghaln, to a Democratic soldier?

DEMOCRATIC MoDEsTY.-The Democrat
&c party is very modest in its demands.
some seven years ago the Southern rebels
undertook to overthrow the Government.
and to establish Southern Confederacv
fhey fought desperately to secure this OBJ
Ject, and had hosts of Democratic aiders
and sympathisers north. The Republi-
cans, after bloody and long-protracted
struggle, succeeded in putting down the
rebellion, IN spite Of the secession ele
ment, both north and south-thus pre-
serving the integrity of the Union. Now.
m the year 1865 southern rebels and
northern Democrats have united on one
platform, and modesrly ask the Republi-
cans to relinquish their power-yacate the
government offices, and allow the very
men who sought to destroy the Union to
lake the reins Of Government and rule the
nation. Is there in all history such an
other instance of unparalleled ilnpudenceg
