TEACH TOUR PUPILS TO =AUL
The primary Objtet that we should set
before us, in all Our labor in the school
room—the- thing we should bear continu
ally in mind, should be the cultiiration of
correct habits of thought in- our pupils. If
,
We have gained this, we have gained ev
erything; if we have, failed here,
we have
made nearly - a total failure. The -'dis
tingnishing feature "Oftli'new, in contrast
with ; the old 'methods of instruction,: is,
that it sets the scholaf in search for the
refirson of things, and makes him Work by
the. ride . of common, sense, and apply the
principles which he himself has investiga
ted; 'rather than by formulas of which e
knows nothing, except that they will bring'
the answer. The one method trains the
child to work . like a machine, the other
trainrhim to make use of the powers, the
faculties of ,mind which cod has given
hint, and•to analyie the several processes
by which he seeks to ;arrive at correct re
sultS. -The one trains the'stanient to add, I
subtract, multiply and divide; the other I
also trains him to do this, but it 'trains
him `to - think Continually why he does it.
Do not train yeti'• pupils then, as Page's
Teacher did, to do things because "the'
rule says so," but so discipline them to
think, that they'coeld construct a rule for
themselves if all, the text-books were blot--
ted out of existence.
Accustom the child not to receive a
1 principle as true, Cl
it has been Troveif . -
;Ito, be so. Let hint even question the
[ statement you make hint, if he does it in
a proper spirit, and with a desire.to under
[stand the principles on which thbse state
merits arc founded. Let him even argue
with vOu, and if Is arguawnts• are un
souini, - or even ridiculous, 'do not think
theM unworthy of-your notice; but show
him their unsonitdeessi afu teach hint to
use better. It should be a source of pleas
ure to us when we see the disposition on
'the part of our pupils,. to- seek proot•of
I the correctness of our assertions; and the
true teacher will rejoice:at every such op-
Tportunity. of .strengthening the mental
[powers of his pupils. I our not speaking
['now of that pertness which delights in
; contradicting merely for the sake of being
[in the opposite—for the sooner this ,
is
checked the better for both teacher and
scholar—but 1 ant speaking of that dispo
sition to test your statements, that a child,
[ very anxious to know the reason of things,
will.often manifest. _

dint•uot only in the exact Sciences may l
you teach children to think ; the moral
and time physical furnish ayet wider range
foe the „cultivation if correct. habits of
vestigation, and reasoning_back t 6
caus
es, —mid forward to results. There is hard- i
ly a recitation - in the natural sciencez42bmit
it opens up a field for awakening the mind: ,
and _sending it out to trace cause and et:
fect,;hrtt,the•teacher should not be
to lose. • • -
Does the text-book mention the fact,
that - the coast of Labrador has a. much
colder climate than exists at the same lat
ittidein Europe? You have an excellent i
opportunity to set them thinking howthe
Gulf - stream, and the cold =currents from
,the Arctic ocean, operate to produce this
diffe - name. Is the fact that there is a rain
fess region in Peru brought before them?
The trade winds,together with the known
laws respeting the condensation and .Con
-1 sequent falling of vapor, will enable them
to acconnt for it, and will so give an im
petus to their minds that will render their
piogress in study much more rapid. -
.110
you hear one utter 4u ungranimatical sen
tence ? do not rest sat fitied with telling
him what-W r euld be correct, but take him
back to the principle. that he hinvviolated,
and-make him correct himself by it ; then
he will be - preparM to notice any similar
niistake, and to apply the same principle
tq it. , •
So also, in the repiiremi:ntswhich you
make Of him,give him the reasons, and;
so far as possitrle, make him understand
the utility of theiii. We too often require.
children to take our ipu. dizii, insvad of
controlling, them in accordance with the
I laws that God has inwrought into the ye
! 7
-texture of their souls.

time; it will require hard, long-continued,
and oft.repeated effoils; it is not a thing
Of Mushroom growth, and will not enable
you to make that display of facts acquired
that the other inethod will. But labor:
earnestly, patiently, perseveringly, and
when the harvest time &hall come, you

NORTHERN CONSERVATISM.
.
The !Richmond Whip,. which was op- '
posed to secession until the State of Vir
ginia joined the Southern Confederacy,
thus discourses on Northern conscrva- -
tism:' i _
' "Thepeople of the North are divided
into taro parties, in the present war; as in
peace that preceded it-L4he conservatives
and deStructives. • The latter are: our.old
enemies, the abolitioniSts, who are crazy
peopleff-honest, perhaps,sin their fanati
dam, but fit only for straight jackets. The
formeil ai•ci our old friends, who used to
declare - , that they loved us better than
themselves, and, that, before an army of
invasion should'march against the South,
it shoUld march over their dead bodies,—
I-It seems to be supposed. that they have
changed their character, and been merged
by the war into one seething cauldron of
red 'hot . abolitionism. This, however,
is. a great 'mistake.. The war has not
changed their character, but only, discov
ered it to the world. \ It has shown them
to bel the falsest, the . most treacherous, 1
and the most - hypocritical of mankind.—
But tn. conservative Money and conserva
tive.nien, it could not he carried on for a
singleidayi Conservative cities, have pp
videdlthe cash and the soldiers; conserv
ative 6 enerals have led their con
seryaism haS, in tine, proved - the most
f
fermi fable of our-menace. We are, not
aware of a single abolitionist general Who
occupies h prominent position in the Fed
eral hosts. McClellan,- Roseerans and
other are somewhat ultra in their conser
vatism; and MCCook, who said if he had
an allolitionist in ~his,ariny he would cut
off his ears, is the . Same- who proclaims,
`the South must he subdued or extermin
ated.l The conservatism of these Men 'is
still, however, conservatism, - only it 'does
not n i tem], as we formerly supposed, 'tire
• prese rvation i of ilic,Constitnthin and the
rights of the States, lint the conservatism
ofNOrthere commerce and manufactures,
at an'y' cost whatever to the Southat the
cost id• every life and hearthstone in its
limits—at the cost of converting its/whole
territory into one vast tie.tne of blood and
tearti. That is , what '-Northern-conserva-
Aism,niemil, and nothing else. It is, in a
word, the most detestable avarice-,,,a love
of money so passionate and-absorbing that
it would murder a while people to fill its
pockets. That. is Northern conservatism !
In what is.it4etter them abolitionism?"
We publish the above choice bit. of a
base because it. demonstrates that while
the Northern radicals are chargin , g
conservatives with giving aid and comfort
to-the enemy, the Secessionists, on the
otlatir haral, - denounce these same-conserv
ativOs as the most formidable of their en
emies.
The Northern conservatives are hated
by both the abolitionis'ts 'and the ;: e ee s .
sionists because they stand as a wall of
fire (around the Constitution to protect it
froM the treasonable assaults of eitheri,l
the: 7 l e rtvolutionary factions. The Seces
sionists cordially hate the conservatives
because their - loyalty to the Government
reinains unshaken, and because they are
thelmost potent _and active enemies - of
treason. The hatred of the abolitionists
for j conservatism. is equally, intense,• and
for !very much the same reason, because it
re+ts. every attempt to convert war for
they maintenance of constitutional govern
ntent into - an engine for its destruction.
• }Chen this rebellin was inaugurated. by
the DAvises, the To( Mbses, the 13enjamins_
and the Wigfalls of the South, they had
(1
not the most remote reason to apprehend
the slightest infringement upon their Con
stitutional rights. The Republican party,
although in a minority of the popular vote
had obtained control of but one branch
of the Government; the Executive branch.
The Congress elected with Mr. Lincoln •
was a conservative Congress. The Sen
ate was Largely against the Republican
party. The Cabinet and foreign appoint
ments of the new-. President were subject
tolthe approval of the Senate. His was
the very cypher of a function. The vieto
ryl of the Republican • party would have
preyed a barren victory, and its fruits lim
ited to the patronage. under the. exclusive
control of the President and the Depart
ments. Moreover, the, CongresS w...hich
expired with the incoming President, thO.'
it ;defeated the Crittenden Compromise by
the joint efforts of the Republicans and
the secession conspirators, adopted an a
mendment to the Constitution protecting
each State in the right to regulate its do
mestic institutions, and also recommend
ed to the Northern Statds the repeal of
their unconstitutional personal liberty
laws. The South had nothing to fear from
the new Administration. glad the-South
ern Senators remained faithfully at their
posts, and the Southern Representatives
returned to Congress, the Republican par
ty would have peen powerless to carry
opt any of its offensive . doctrines, and at
tie end of four years i world have been
succeeded by:a Dem,oeratic -.Administra
i tion. But instead of confining their oppo
s!tion to the limits prescribed by the Con
sitution, the Southern—Senators went
home to inaugurate rebellion, and put I
1 their cause to the arbitrament of the
sword. They became traitors to the gov- I
tlitnent, and traitors to the Northern
onservatives * NO° stood by them so long
'ts they claimed nothing but their consti
tutional rights. They appealed to arms:
Without the slightest justification—they
deserted' their Northern friends to humble
themselves at , the feet of European des-
I pots -k--they. sought the indiscriminate a
basement of the Northern peopleand
they inaugurated the most causeless and
wicked revolt with which - the pages of
bistorkhave.eYer been stained: And now.
1 When.they are paying the penalty ditheir
I I
treachery—when their power is, broken.
---when the)r pride is humbled -when
their rebel Congress, is a fugitive from
'their rebel Capital—When their-soldiers
gre scampering over the sacred soil of Vir
inia-and when the ruins of their proud
fabric of rebellion threaten-to crush- the
leader's who were instrumental in rearing
it, they find no cause , for, self ; abasement,
lbut fall to abusing the - Northern aonserv , ,
iatives for notimitatingtleir bad faith and'
itreachery to the best form of:Government

11 - The Northern aonservatives.wili outliye
the enmity of_rehels, and enjoy the sails
faction of compelling them to render obe

Seceding from Secotsion—lailitary In
terpretation of State Rights. , •
Ittiould have been difficult to predict,
at the, beginning of , . the retiellion, when
the theory of "State Rights" was used as
the leyer with which to precipitate the
Southern States out, of the Union, that
the selfsame doctrine might eVentnally
become one of the-instruments in bring-,
ing those States back intothe Uni,7n. But
there are already several unmistakable to
kens that the bane is also to prove thean
tidote, and none more marked than the
military interpretation which the doctrine
of " State Rights" has just, received in
North Carolina.. The 'facts of thisbter
; email , * developenient are relatedin 4n ar
ticle from the N'ewbern-newspaper, which
will be-found in another column. 3t ap
pears, that win_m that place was capinred
by Gen. Burnside, it was reported that
Mayor Respess, of Washington, N. C.
went to see the . General.. Mr. Respess
was hereupon arrested by agents of Davis
in the night, 'hurried off to Richmond in
Irons, and thrust into a d_ungeon. The"
outrage crented . intense excitement thre'-
out the state. Gov. Clark (who is n0t..2, - et
in prison) accordingly sent ap imperative
demand to the Richmond authorities that
the her son of itlC MaYor must be deliver-
ed up forthwith, otherwise North' Caroli
na would send a force to baelmip the de
mand of the Convention. This eineted i
his release. But the matter does not end
here. It seems that the rebel "President"
a few days since ordered Gov. Clark to
furnish all the means of transportation and
defence possible to aid him in the passage
to and through the Cotton Statesond al
-so, for additional troops:- Gov. Clark,
backed by the Convention, Wormed him
that he " had received all' iel id from N.
Carolina that ho could e • >eat, and that
hereafter,-no mol.e. tro 8 s would be per
mittato leave the State," and has order-.
ed all the
,North Carolina State troops
home. Ile further informed the Richmond
authorities that they could
.ase, the rail
! roads in retreating-homewards, but they
I would run their own risk or being inter:.
eepted by a Union
: force at any part of
the State. The source.through which this
intelligence comes leaves no doubt of the
sUbstantial.aCettraey of the whole transac=
tion., _
'flails were an isolated case it might be I
traversed by the claim of somethingfoe- ,
1
culiar in the temper of the people of the
Old North State. But it is not an isola
ted case. It• is butt 'h short time since ,
a body of • South Carolina soldiery,
true to the State-rights traditions which
have -Of late been the "be all and end all"
of her politics, refused to leave the limits'
of the Suite in support of the Southern
pause, alleging, as the Atignsta (Ga.) con
t4tiono It st rep(Prt ed, that" they were en-
liked to serve the State Of South Caroli
nh,-:.lnd were willing to tight in her own
deffinee, but that they Would net go out
Of the State." The officers urged the stig
Ma. that would rest upoti them for relit-s
-ing to go where their country most need-
ed their services, and the reproach Alley'
would bring upon the State of South Car
olina, which had been forentost iu -the
work of resistance. Sheer appeals, how
ever, were unavailing, and the malcon
tents stubbornly refused-to leave the beim-.
daries of the State.
We are safe in predicting that 'there
- will be a steady developement of the State
Rights theory in the South, and that in
Proportion as the rebellion wanes, this
cardinal doctrine-Will'acquire new and pe
culiar poWer. If the rebels,yrould only
stick thithffilly to tlfe programme with
which they set out, the fabric of rebellion
would ere this have fallen to pieces of its
own weight. But the Richmond usurp
ers soon discovered that, though secession
might be a very useful.' aid to break up •kt
Government, it was a poor principle on
which tar-found a new one, and the. "Con
federacy" has for months been-such a -des
potism as, there are few parallels to. The
honest Southern devotees to State-Rights
are, them Selves beginning to discover and
deplore what they call the " great change
in Out Government." The end will be that
we-shall find this heresy a most import
ant atiiillary in the rehabilitation of the
Union. As the Confederate cause experi
eneeS new reverses,_ it will -become very
convenient to back determinedly on
the "ireserved rights" of the States. The

I legislature sent out a. commission of inqui- -

Hpassage, page 90, gives " the statistics Of

NEW YORK POLITICS.
Daniel S. Dickinson, the Brenk-
inridgi3 Democrat of the State of New
-York•, was last year elected to lucratiyp
State office upon a Union ticket. The
ion party at that time ignOred.evo7 par
ty question, Sand went befoie the people
upon the single idea of a vigorous
cation of the war. Upon such a plutforinl
the ticket was successful by pearly a•linn-, 1
dred thousand majority. 3lr.Dickinsoh,
and those Union Democrats who ac(6.1.1
witli-him then ;were_ entirely -grilling to
keep up their organization as long as the
war lasted, but it seems that!theiritepnb- I
lican colleagues, as is usual with that par
ty everywhere, desired to gii.e it an aho•
iition coating. That is, as in Pennsyhiia- - •
nia, the Republicans of NeNir - York - defre
creation to regard them as the *at. party,
when their designs • are4in3ply t7F effect
abolitiovism,• and, all who are , not prepitr
ed to assist them in their operation are=of
course to be termed "sympmhizers with I
treason." •
Mr. - Dickinson very nicely• exposes
