' I TUB GALPIIIiV STATE CONVENTION. Two years ago, the Whigs of this State, says llio Pennsylvanian, never held a meeting without de nouncing Mr. Fume and the Democratic party, on account, of ilio Mexican war. Not only woe tho commencement of the war charged to bo (he net of Mr. Polk, but it was constantly proclaimed tfiat no cause existed to justify it. Those-who opposed it in Congress were prime favorites with the Whigs.— Corwin's bold bad speech was copied and circulated in myriads by the Whigs, and Whig praises were showered Upon tie author. Not a.Word was spoken against the men) Who* by opposing tho War, received the gratitude of Mexico. In short) id oppolo'the war, lb vote against it in Congress, to resist nil ap plications fur supplies to our army, arid, finally, lb sympathize with the commoircnomy—these were as essentially a part of the Whig creed, ad to oppose the Democratic party is at the present d ry, Since that Ume, no change in (ho policy of (ho -Whigs has taken place until recently. Now it is discorcred that to vole against llio war is io establish a title io publlfe disapprobation. That' party that, w.is the only ob stacle to an early peace, and the strong syinpulhizer willi Mexico, —now refuses nominations to (lipso who have been ready, lb carry out its commands I. - Having thrown Mr.Slfolim otdrboatd fbf hisCbtfrso against the war, the least (hat the Whigs in tho late State Convention could have dotie, would have been to pass a resolution that the war was righteous, and thot they were guilty of falsehood and Something worse, in so long, and so bitterly opposing it. It is true, they have failed to do this: bill (ho impression of (heir confession of wrong, is not tho leas generally AjtawD_u.nißJU-'haSß til**. Ja*t tki> wptwiTiis»-«jv »f candidly admitting what it would be folly to deny. From the report of the proceedings of'the recent Galiphm State Convention, we take the following : Mr. IliosUnd, of Lancaster, presented h paper, signed by tho entire delegation, giving their reasons for tho withdrawal of tho name uf John Strohm*— The paper asserted, in substance, that tho delegation fromLancasltr believed there was a disposition In tho Convention to treat the claims of the “old guild “ with ingratitude; and that they, therefore, withdrew his name. Mr. Coinyn moved that the coinmunica lion be laid on the (side, which motion Mr. Dickoy moved to amend, by ordering it to bo inserted on the minutes. Mr. Richards, of Dorks, denounced tho document in strong terms. Its publication would do groat harm in Lancaster, And Iho party might loso tho services of tho* 1 old gifard" of that county. lie hoped tho people of Lancaster would not endorse (he ads of her delegates. Tho objection made to Mr, Strohm. was a valid ono. No 0110 would deny that. A man who would vote against supplying iho American troops during war, would meet with a defeat unprecedented in Pennsylvania. Mr. Dickey, of Lancaster insisted that respect to the delegation from Lancaster, would compel them to enter the .document upon tho minutes. Ho domed that Mr. Strohm had ever done any thing to lorfcil the eonfidcncoof Ilia Whig parly. Lancaster county endorsed him fully, and he thought ho would poll moro .voles than any other man who could bu nominated. Mr. Cornyn, of Huntingdon, moved to postpone iho whole matter Indefinitely, Mr. Julmsbn, of Krio, opposed the motion, as, if carried, it would have the effect of placing the whole proceedings on the minutes of the convention. This Its deprecated, lie did not wont any man woman or child, in k Pennsylvania, to read anything which would induce I the belief that lira convention wsre not entirely I unanimous. Mr. King, of Bedford, coaxed the Lancaster do le gation to withdraw the document. No injustice I was intended lo them or to Mr. Btrulun. Ho would 1 1 itavc voted as Mr. Strohm did, had ho boon a mem- 1 her of Congress; hut he would not think it safe tor go before the people after such a vole. You could, nut moke the people believe it right. Mr. Mcllvalno, of Chester, also urged upon the Loneaslvr delegation Iho withdraw! of the obnoxious paper. If it wore to bo published, thr effect would be mail disastrous to the prospects of the Whig parly. Mr. J. W. Stokes of tho county,thought that the Lmooslcr delegation insulted (ho convention by offering such a paper# They withdrew thoir candi date’without wailing to see wheiher tho convention would nominate him or nut, and (hen charged them with ingratitude. Gun Wilson,' of Venango, took strong grounds against the paper. It was all nonsense to nominate Mr. Strohm. You could not make the people be lieve ho voted right, in voting against supplies lo (ho American army. Mr. Gibbons hoped the paper would bo withdrawn, fie thought that tho offering of it was the highest insult to tho convention. Mr. Curnyn, of Huntingdon, nniid a scene of the wildcat confusion, moved on adjournment sine dir. Upon rlie question, the yeas and nays were nulled, and it was decided in tho affirmative—yeas Cfi, nays SB. Tho President then hurriedly announced that the convention wai adjourned.

REPORT OF TIIEVISITINrt COMMITTEE OF THE COMMON SCHOOLS. • TO THE ruiu.ic. ". Since the organisation of our schools under tho present system; it has boon.customary, at tho annual cxamination of the pupils, (or tho BoardofDircctora tu appoint a Visiting Committee, whoso duly.lt is to lake part in' (ho .examination,".criticise, make sug gestions.if necessary, and give a report to the public of tfio progress and condition nf the schools. • Tliosd duties wore plabod on tho undersigned for the exam inations of the present year, .which Imvo just lorml noted; ond that, whichvvo have now to fulfill, in giving s report to the public, wo can 'perform with great pleasure, speaking in terms of merited praise, and at tho same time in tho langubgo'of candor and truth. ; Tho schools arc divided into the following classes: The Primary Department: Depart ment : hnd tho High Schools. The Primary Department is divided into thcjlrst and fecond grade's.'. In thu 1 st grade flip rudiments are taught, end the first efforts urdjmado in the cultivation of mind. It .is hero that the intellect begins to'solid forth Us shouts, bud habits of investigation are first establish ed. The pupils commence with the Alphabet, and are taken on until they hovo made some progress in spelling and rOadingpwhcn they are transferred into (ho Second grade. s , '. ' The duties of tho teachers in this grade of schools arc not only OncrOUs, but so monotonous as to excite sympathy in lliotr behalf. 11.i5..u dull and wearisome task lo go pvor the Alphabet ond (ho same spelling and rending lessons, day after day, with children that pay as little attention as possible to their books.— The exercise of (ho-teacher in these schools, is al most entirely mechanical —impressing mailers thdt are retained .only in the memory, ond haying no really intellectual efforts connected with the office, :bul that of devising the best mannerof instruction. The persons who have this labor lo Undergo should bo looked upon kindly by tho community; for their duties ard among tho moat important, yet most op pressive. . They Jay the foundation of tho education, and tho heaviest labor id always required when this is properly done. The examinations of this grade of schools were gratifying, bat tlio manner of instruction we think is probably capable of improvement. . if there is any delict in tho operation ol' tho Commori School* ll id In the .Primary Department. Tho scholars .of the higher grades answer promptly and correctly in the more advanced studies, while they sometimes appear to be deficient in (he first lussons of instructions*— Tho only way that suggests itself to us for tho cor rection of this evil, is lor Ihdlcuchcfs ol' tho Primary schools never t,o let ah error pais, but to mako a firm pause and a. determined, effort lo correct it, and to labor until it Is corrected. Possibly wo are proposing an experiment that is impracticable, but wo sco the evil—and wo can discover no oilier remedy, and ll may at least be worth the trial. The tusk imposed is a difficult one, and odds greatly-to tho heavy hi bora already required, but fur tho sake of tho super structure, tho foundation should bo well laid. .Wo do not mean lo insinuate by these remarks that thb examinations in this grade of schools wore not creditable. They were probably.superior to tho'ox aminuiimiH of schools generally < of this class, and certainly all has been dune that could be expected of teachers with their number of pupilsi But wo think (here is a grcul.door open fur improvement in them all. ! In regard to (ho Second grodb of .tho Primary Department,' ihticli that has b'cCn said of Iho duties, labors, and studios of tho First., mny also bo repeated of it. .I'lio mind of tho pupil, is here, however, a little more developed, und tho studies I'uithor silvan*- ced, and,of course.proporlionobly mole interesting. When children outer this department they arc üblo io read distinctly in tho Testament, the X'ourlli Clnrs Uoadcr, to spell ill threo syllables, and .to stand a satisfactory examination on tho first three pages of Smith's Arithmetic. They are then further inslract cd in writing, spelling, reading, elements of Arith metic, and the elements of Geography; and, in the Female iiiglj School, they nro also taught sowing. The examinations in (bis grade were generally very gratifying, and with credit to tho pupils and (heir teachers. Wo would vsnluro one suggestion, however, lb the teachers* the importance of which they are no .doubt aware, and which'wo know may bo difficult to bring into practical operation* Tho pupils are too rapid in their spelling and pronuncia ition in .the spelling, and the •j>llablcs ond iull 'sounds of lha' I Wdrda,~wuro Wore distinctly uttered (which* by a little additional carp might probably bo taught them) wc conceive it would bo u decided improvement hi their training.. Many very elegant specimens of needle work, exe cuted by the pupils, wore exhibited in tho schools of Miss Wilson and Miss Webber,'belonging to this grade. They were greatly admired, und many com pliments were passed on the litllu artists and their teachers. The committee would urge, end strongly recoin mend, the immediate necessity or-expediency or having the scats in the Primary Department made with bucks, so oa to prevent deformity and ill health. ]l is to bo regretted that somo of tho schools iu both the. First and Second grades of the Primary Department, could not bo divided, Somo of -thorn aro so largo us to be almost unmanageable, and il the toachors had a lest number to Instruct, tho pro gress of the scholars would undoubtedly bo much more rapid. As they arc, tho scholars attain all the proficiency (hat can possibly bo expected. There can bo no tho teachers—but tho num bers they have in a groat measure paralyze their efforts. The Secondary Department is also divided into two grades. For admission into Ihu First, the schol ars aro required to stand a satisfactory examination in tho studies of the Primory Department. They aro then instructed further in spelling, to give defini tions, in writing, geography, arithmetic, grammar, American and Ancient history. Tho schools includ ed in this grade aro Miss Main’s anti Mr.ScarighlV After they have gone through tho course of in. structlon mentioned, and ogam passed a satisfactory examination, they are admitted into tho Second grade of tho Secondary Department. . In this, they take advanced stops in (huso brunches which they had commenced in the First gradd—pursuing their les sons in Geography with the use of the Globes, finish ing (ho Grammar and Arithmetic, reviewing Ilys lory, and entering, upon the studies of Book-keeping, Composition mid Algebra. The schools included in this grads aro those of Mias Underwood and Mr. Eokols. Tho scholars of both grades of this Department were closely examined by the visiters, and displayed great retention of memory and accuracy. lq their answers. iSomuol the recitations, however,appeared to bo almost exclusively an-effort of the memory, which, indeed has boon cultivated to u remarkable extent. But if (ho scholars could bo taught to frame their own answers, instead of repeating those found in tho books, il would give greater exorcise to the mind arid -judgment, and u fuller understanding ol the subjects. . Wo would also suggest that in the fe male schools it would bo belter-if somo of tjio young ladles could bo restrained from going over their ex orcises so rapidly. It is a bad habit, ami renders it 1 difficult to understand them. The schools of Mosers. Eckels and Soaright stand very high, and all probably is dono; thul can bo dune, in the dlscborgo of their duty. They might however, tin presume, make the attempt of correcting (tie error of (he scholars in depending too much on the memory with success. Wo would also say, that they noascair greet facility in imparling instruction, and (licit discipline is exceedingly.good; ,; The schools of Miss Undciwbod and Miss Mfclit ore models.of their kind, and worthy nf lhcir great popularity. Their pupils displayed soma elegant specimens of ornamental needle work. Perhaps yvo„iplghl hero, without causing very so* rJous offuncoto any of tho pupils In dio two different departments which wo havo mentioned, give a slight preference in the examinations to tho young ladies r and this remark may bo cxlundod also to tho High Schools. Wo observed a readiness and accuracy In their answers which was partially wanting in tho male schools. .If there ahouhJ, however, bo any dis putn between the soxes of the schools rn regard to their (ntcllccluol power, or whether thoro miiy not bo a difference between quickness and solidity, uptness and strength, wo leave those questions fur them to settle whan lltov'oomo to maturity of years. The High schools, into which the pupils ore next admitted.(after die Secondary Department) loads them into how and higher studies,and gives, them more thorough exorcises in those they had boon pur suing in tho schools below. Among others, they aro trained in oritleal Readings, Composition, Elocution, and enter upon tho studios of Natural and Mural Philosophy, Astronomy, Antiquities, Natural history and Mathematics. Some of thoso studios aro pursued to o greater extent in tho, Malu High School than In the •Female. In tho Foihulo High School Drawing and Ornamental Needlework also form an ogreoable and useful recreation. Thcsd schools are under teachers of "great ability and experience, who ara.’.untiring in their exertions lo iha'ko llieir scholarß proficient iii all those branches which 'nun. at usefulness, and rcliucrhohl., The ex aminations elicited general’approbation-; and the display of work by tho pupils ol .llio Female High Behoof, received thb pritiso ot’.uU,who examined It. ' The remark's which wo have thus made, in com mendation of nearly till the. schools, have not been uttered in tho spirit of;fiaUury, but becaueo we think they ore called for by tho merits of both teachers and pupils. Wo think they are justified by having dia ■covered, as we bpliovo,-a slrcnous effort in tho loach era lo make titcir. pupils In reality scholars, and not merely lb qualify them for display at tho examina tions. While this is tho case, tho Common Schools of Carlisio will be a just source uf pride tu its citi zens. ■ • But there is a groat duty resting upon ovory pa rent, which, if not performed, will render nugatory in a great degree, all the efforts of- instructors and directors. It is incumbent on.them lo support tho discipline of life schools, and thus to uphold the hands of thu faithful servants who ore laboring for the welfare of,their children. Jl.is natural that a father's and mother's iovo should crcato strong partialities for tho child, and froquonlly'cause them lo Ukc the pari of a. young offender, when prudence and an en lightened alfoclion,would dictate a different course. Directors may. mark out tho path of menial culture, and teachers may.lead'them along it, but if parents frown and censure, when discipline undertakes to correct waywardness and disobedience,all the efforts lo iustruct.will end only in obstinacy. of character, contempt of education, and debasing ignorance. The greatest duty, Jiowdver, that rests upon the parent, is in regard lo (he moral education of (ho child.>.The tutor may instruct, in precepts, but the parent must loacli in practice. Kulus of conduct may bd laid down for children, but they amount lo litllo unless lhoy,aro illustrated and enforced in tho conduct, dnd by tho influence and authority of those under whoso especial euro God lias placed them. A very important part of education is acquired outside of tho school room, when.from uudoMhe eye of. tho toucher; and if this portion of tho formation of char acter is ncglbotcd, olid tho passions oro allowed to gain, tho usoondancy, intellect, is. smothered, con science, is drowned, and the precepts of books cannot save from ignoiny and shame. If then, the education of the youth of uur town is to bo perfected, and,they are to bo (rained up into both mental and, moral be ings, (hu love of parents must look more lo tho future welfare, -than the present pleasure and gratification of their children. • Wo cannot close this, report without a few words in commendation of the disinterested labors and llio efficient services of (lie Board of Directors. A more ■Clive and faithful Board is probably nut to bo found in the Slulo. Some of tho members have for years giycn much of thoir timu to (ho service of this poo* p!o without any compensation. They have marked out the way for the education of tho young—(hey have examined and selected (lie best boohs to .biji used -—they have monthly visited (lie schools—inquired into their progress and wants, and provided fur iho comfort of tho pupils. They have assiduously watch ed over the welfare of every, child that has been placed Under their directions, and for all this they have rc*> coivcd not oncccnlof pecuniary compensation. But there is too much reason to believe.that they luck even the recompense that would bo more gratifying to thorn, and easily paid—the gratitude of the 'people. Wo are inclined to think, from wlidl wo hate obser ved, 1 dial of alf the jiinnkletts tusks (fiat nro (uo niiify eruus in (ho world around tis, that of School Direc tor is tho most. While somo.may feel grulclnl for their efforts and their spirit of philanthropy, many are constantly ready to abuse and villify them* bo cause they will not break (heir established rules and destroy (ho dements of iliplr organization, to gratify supercilious demands ami ridiculous whims; ThfS should net b‘e. It is well if you h'atfo faithful serv. ants who give their labor gratuitously, without in* fli.pting stripes upon them fur their patient enduraheb and toil. In conclusion', the committee must express (lib great pleasure they experienced in witnessing the performances at the exhibition, givqp by tjic two' High Schools, on Friday evening. . All the.exorcises were brilliant and entertaining. The compositions of the .yoUng ladies, displayed elegance of stylo, thought and research i and the addresses of the young men, both in their nikltcrpnd manner of de livery, wore highly creditable.
