THERE is much truth in the remarks of the
Philadelphia Ledger, to the effect that teach
ing row days has to great extent degene-
rated into process of memorizing and "cram-
ming" wearisome to the great masses of the
pupils, hurtful to their physical as we'll as
meatal health, and through which the mem
cry is merely overloaded with unimportant
facts, figures and events, instead of educating
the MUD to understand the meaning and re-
lations Of such facts and events, and thus de
yeloping the me ntal qualities of the pupils.
and charging thcir understandings. Thus
the pupils are often sent out into the world
with great stores Of memorized lessons on sub
jects of but little use to them in after life. and
with but small proportion of that useful
knowledge available every day Of their subse-
quent careers. There is urgent need for re-
form 10 this matter

Impeachment.

Impeachment drags its slow length along.
The Presidents Counsel have closed the able
argument for the defense and it is estimated
that the managers will consume much Of the
present week in closing the case FOR the pros
ieulion.
Speculation is rife as to tie result and opin~
ions are expressed to day only to be contra
dictcd to plorrow.
Some of the Presidents friends seem to he
strong in the hope that the convincing argu.
ments Of the Counsel for the defense may
influence enough Of the more conscientious
Radical Ser ato's to Tn ure acquit a. But we
have no such hope If the Jacobins Of the
Senate conclude that it is to the interest Of
their party to acquit the President Gas per-
haps they may) he will go free, bnt if Gas is
most probable( they decide in caucus that
party necessity requires his conviction, his
fate is sealed in spite Of the stately periods,
and convincing reasoning af Curtis and the
close logic of Groesbeck, Evorts and Stan
berry.

The following well put sentences of the
Mobile Register so well express our sentl-
ments in reference to the suicidal dissensions
which are springing up In the ranks of the
Northern Democracy, that we adopt them as
our own. We can tell the Nesc York Wor1a
and the WAR Democracy on the one hand,
and Brick" Pomeroy and the peace" De-
mocracy on the other, that neither need APP
peal to the Southern people in this unhappy
controversy which, if persisted in, will prove
20 fatal to all our hopes aud constitutional
freedom on this continent. The first wish
Of the Southern people is, to enter the canvass
next fall to ,cin, and it makes but very little
difference to them who bears the standard,
provided he stands OH platform of princi-
pie which will relieve US from negro suffrage,
military domination, &C., and restore us to
cur equal rights in the Union.
.sIn the section where the La Crosse Demo-
crat is published the people may perhaps af
ford to sacrifice success to preference. They
are not yet under the pressure Of an unmitiga-
ted despotism they are not in danger of negro
domination +; they are not walking on the edge
Of social volcano they can afford to indulge
themselves in the luxury of making their owa
choice.
But the case is far different with us Of the
South The interests dependent upon the sue
cess Of the light in the next Presidential cleo
ton are too momentous to permit us to regard
tho promptings of fancy or sentiment. Lltl-
mate success is necessary to the salvation Of
the North, but it is indispensable TO us that it
should be inlmediute success: the alternative
is ruin. The mau who sneers at the idea o.
availability under these circumstances is q
fool or fanatic.
We fully admit the claims upon our adlni
ration, respect, and support, ofthose Northern
men "who kept their political faith and in
,tegrity" under all the trials and temptations
.ofthe late war. Our right hands would forge
their cunning, and the pen would fall power
less from our fingers before we could forget O
forsake them, But there is another class o
men, whom people that talk like the assailant
of Mr.. Forsyth appear to forget, and to whom
our obligations are stlla higher. This class in
eludes jefferson Darie, Robert +. Lee, Josepl
r. Johnston. and few Others of the same sort
five are to discard all considerations Of polio,
or availability. why not so to the fountain
head of principle or sentiment, and nominal
one Of these at once? Follow your principles
gentlemen, even if they take you out Of til
window"
