and converting all the machinery OF the treasury
into paper mint to create issues for the so-caled
debt on the Government credit aud de-

OF loans.
Why may not the Government bank on its own
credit lts deposits, and its issues of currency now
given to the banks, and convert the gains into the
means OF paying the national debt instead of sur
rendering all TO stockholders?
If the Government would adopt and pursue the
Kentucky plan OF relief and bank for the couimon
loans to the farmers and builders andarsans. oT ON
liens and on lands and tenements, besides personal
security, the colossal debt might he gradually lqui-
dated by the proceeds and disappear like an fee
berg in the ocean.
But the other DAY pregnant hint was given by the
Chancellor of the EXchequer in England Mr. Lowe
in his reply to Parliamentary representative of the
Bank OF England, who complained that his report on
tne finances was not accommodated to the Interests
OF That institution and the business dependent
on it,
Mr.. Lowe told him, in effect, that it wasnot the
duty of the Government to take of the bank ana
us dependants but of the government ana the
people; and added, significantly, that the Cavern
ment might bank for itself. If it had done so
from the battle OF Waterloo to this ttme,
and put the profits into England's real balfk
its treasury, instead of into that of the Bank Of
England's shareholders, she would owe no dest and
the millions of paupers and hand-to-mouth laborers
that are hecatombs to the grandeur of the oigarchy
ana milllonaires OF that country might have had
some share in the prosperity now monopolized by
the latter.
Mr. Lowe and his co-workers for reform I'm Eng
m ent of the Bank of England far eTectua re-
form for that country than the late measure with
regard to the Irish Church.
And it would be a still greater reform for us to
disestablish our national banks and resume for the
people the control of the finances of the Government

Withdraw rom the convention ana inform them that

stopped by the gavel of the chairman, at ten minutes
l.
journment These last minutes had previously been
granted to Mr.. Isaac Myers, coored delegate from
Maryland, for the purpose of presenting paper on
behalf of his COOred brethren.
He said-"It would be an act of great injustice
to your God-like charity shOuld allow the debera-
tiOns of this convention to close without returning
you the thanks of four millions of my race for your
unanimous recognition of their right to representa-
ton in this convention"
Referring to his brethren he said
'When tell you that all they ask for themselves is
fair chance that you shall be no worse of for Civ
ing them that chance that you and they shall dwell
in peace and harmony together, and that you and
they may make one steady and strong pull until the
laboring man of this country shall receive such pay
for time made as will secure them comfortable
living for their families educate their children and
leave dollar for rainy day and old age. Slavery,
or slave labor, the main cause Of the depreciation OF
white labor, Is no more.
'aThe white laborng men of the country have
nothing to fear from the cOlored laborng men. We
desire to see labor elevated and made respectable
we desire to have the highest rate of wages that our
labor is worth desire to have the hours of labor
regulated as well TO the interest OF the labOrer as ia

THE OPENING OF THE VARIOUS AcADEMIEs-Be
tween the first and fifteenth of September, ther
will be quite lively time among the various acade
mics and schools, public and private as during tina
time the fall and winter term commences. Philade
pha has always been noted for her colleges AM
academies, and none has retained the public conf
denCe to greater extent than the at the Assem-
by Buildings, over which presides that gentleman
and scholar Prof. II. Y. Lauderbach, who for
number of years filled the position of Principal of tn
Northwest Public Grammar School in this city
While there, the school invariably occupied the mum
Der one position at the semi-annua examinations o
candidates for admissions to the Central High School
One year ago Prof. Lauderhach resigned that charg
| and naugurated the present institution. In crcu
lar printed at that time the Professor stated that hi
| mode of teaching consisted OF 'rejecting useles
matter, or that intended solely for reference, an
thoroughly explaining the subject of instruction, b.
lecture, accompanied by Illustration, or experiment
using the language adapted TO the capacity of tn
student and making the theme so attractive to hin
as to secure his willing attention; teaching him
think, and causing his subsequent stuoy or eXercis
TO be rather the result of his own reflections and de
ductiOns, than the mere memorizing of words, with
out ideas" With reference to punshments, the Pro
essor also stated, "By careful study Of the varie
of dispositions in boys and by cultlvatlng sentimen
OF honor ana trutnlulneSS Ill tnelr lnlnus, so una
every departure from duty is sure to be made know
by the voluntary act of the offender, almost all mo
| tive for malicious misconductis removed and hav
been enabled to dispense entirely with every specie
| of punishment except that which arises from con
| sciousness of violated honor, and the consequen
| loss of respect of teachers and friends"
| The departments of the academy are presided owe
| by Professors whose regulations are well known il
this and other cities. Among them are Prof. GeOrg
! Yeager A. NJ, Prof Augustus Simon, Pro I. j. i
Soule, and Miss Emily p. starr. This academy ha
| secured the endorsement OF hundreds of our hes
| citizens and well merits the encouragement whic
| has been already received.
