% . GA-XETTE : lITESpAY, JULY 1„ 1!‘.369.
THE representatlie statesmen of the
Pennsylvania Democracy are not, if we
are to credit the assurances of the Pitts
burgh Post, of that class which it thus
describes:
The specimens presented in the last
National Convention, who were distin
guished mainly by a nervous anxiety to
retire to consult, and never did anything
but blunder, from the first to the last
moment of the Convention. The same
old fossils are at work now to swamp us,
but we have hone that a more youthful
and clearer headed influence will rule the
hour.
The "fossils" against whom this bitter
sneer is directed, were Messrs. Wood-
J , r
w ii, Clymer, :Bigler, Dawson and so
o friends of Judge Packer, and whom
e Pest will never forgive for their
okfeilse in selling ant its friend Pendle
ton. We must remind our neighbor of
the glaring imprudence of ;such language
as that quoted, if it be sincerely aiming
at the success of the Cass movement at
liarrisburg to-morrow. Our delegates
will meet in the Convention those very
gentlemen whom the Post reviles—and
not find them as ever potential in the
D °untie Council. Is it wise to limit
them bY these unkind' allusions? Or is it
clearly settled that they have already
"swamped" the aspirations of the distin
guished President of the defunct Fort
Wayne railway, and that the paragraph
above quoted is a vindictive declaration
of war? Very likely, the last! In that
event, the Post gains nothing by its ebul
lition; there will only be the more humble
pie for it to swidlow—as soon as he Con
vention adjourns. The "blund v ering old
fossils" will heed neither the remon
strances nor the threats of the Post; they
have always had 'good reason to know
that our neighbor can match its facility
of indignant protest with its own alacrity
in eating the bravest of its words.
"Blundering old fossils!" That's good'.
OUR DEMOCRACY may honor themselves
by nominating Mr. G. W. Cass for Gov
erner to-morrow. Apart from political
co'nsiderations, we should be gratified to
see that honor, conferred upon a distin
guished and estimable citizen of Western
Pennsylvania. But we apprehend that
this result of to-morrow's deliberations is
wholly out of the question. The "blun
dering old fond's" who control the party
have made other arrangements, without
regard to the wishes of this part of the
State. The case might have been differ
ent, had the interests of that gentleman
been more prudently managed, and with
a sincerer good faith, by the noisy and
demonstrative, but reckless and inconsid
erate clique who have obtruded them
selves upon the Democracy of the State
as his particular friends. These people
have steadily spurned all opportunities to
conciliate the_ leaders of the party, re
viling them as blundering old fossils, and
never neglecting a chance to make an
enemy when they ought to • have been re
cruiting the list of their candidate's friends.
From first to last, it has been their game
to dragoon the party instead of convinc
ing it-and this bullying policy hastened
•as was to be expected. We have repeat
edly remonstrated with these headstrong
mischief-makers, but they seem to hive
T had no more regard for our disinterested
advice, than for the sabstantial interests of
theit ostensibly favorite candidate. The
result is that our worthy Democratic fel.
low-citizen will be laid out as cold as a
wedge by his own "friends." There
really does seem to be plausible ground
for the current suspicion that their con
duct is not to be explained upon any
twis of honest faith.' This suspicion will
become a certainty, if, as is probable,
More or less of the Casa delegates shall
be detected, to-morrow, at Banishing,
holding their dishes right side up to catch
the cash which is to be lavished, it is said,
by ilwealthi"edmPetitor. '

Correspondence of the Ptitsburgii Gazette':
PonTuam, ME., July 9, 1869.
Another summer finds me again enjoy
ing the cool breezes and invigorating at
tiosphere of New England. Thirty-four
hours of travel brought me here. As
usual I found the "Railroad Guide" so
full of errors as not at all to be relied on.
All the wily I found long trains of crowd
ed cars and numerous mammoth steam
ers, filled to overflowing, conveying
thousands of weary ones from summer
heat and the ordinary routine of cares to
the shores and hills of the North and
East, to rest from labor. To all, the daily
and weekly_seasons of rest are not'sufft
tient. Many demand an annual pilgrim-
Age to allow mind and muscle to relax ; '
the tension to which they have been
strained for ci,titinuous months. A
change of scene breaks up the trains of
thought, dispels cares and gives vigor to
mind as well as tone to muscle. Such
l a
deriye positive neat from a change of
scene d from e ommission of labor
for a s on.
Othe are infl enced solely by fashion.
To thought and I bor they are strangers.
Therefore they cannot seek rest from
what they never engaged id. To do
nothing in some otherphafor sonic other
wayto see and be seen—or it may be,
to court or be courted,may be their object.
So far as any good to themselves or others
is concerned, it matters little,,where their
aimless and useless lives are passed. They
are ever pleasure-seekers and consequently
really Mayer pleasure-takers. Death
might as well take them on the wing as
any where else, as it would, never find
them in any' useful employment. Insi
pidity, emptyness of mind and , folly of
heart marks their every . movement.
They-are born, flutter for a moment in
the sunshine of pleasure or in the cloud
of disappointment, and die. No one can
tell what they did or what purpose they
served in life.
Portland is beautiful et, although de
prived of most of her wide spreading
elms. She has her elegant dwellings, her
spacious public edifices. her ocean view,
and her Diamond islands. But business
is dull. Her Cuba trade, which was
large, is 'gradually diminishing. The re
action arising from the activity in re
building after the disastrous fire has cons
lnenced. Money is very scarce. The
flour dealers have lost heavily the past
few months. Ship building is recover
ing. The trans-continental railroads via
Rodwater and Portland, two separate
routes to California, are matters of the
greatest interest here now. The estimated
time from Hong Kong to London via
Chicago and Portland is thirty-eight days;
and from Yokohama to London by the
same route is less than thirty-five days.
The villas of Boston, New York and
Philadelphia will not be considered in
this arrangement.
The postbffice of white marble, beauti
ful and duke, has its walls nearly up.
The m 7 ornate' and elegant custom
house, o Concord granite, is also nearly
ready for its roof. New church edifices
are going up. The. high and grammar
school building' are spacious, substantial
and tasteful. The collector of the port is
one of the universal Washburn° family. .
He held the office under Lindiln and
Jehnson, and is sure to hold 'it under
Grant. The family have no special anti
pathy to office, and he is one of . them.
They make great demands, and generally
hive managed to have them granted. A
great power has been sent forth frOm the
once humble family in Livermore. Then
there goes Hon. 'Wm. Pitt Fessenden,
sauntering along the street with both
hands in his pantaloons pockets—his
usual habit. To his credit be it said, his
official positions have not added.at all to
his wealth. There, too, goes Gen. Neal
Dow, looking every inch the General , as
he always did, and a fine looking man he
is, but greater in leading on his
forces against intemperance than against
rebellion, and not , as easily captured in
the former case as in the ; latter. Long
will his name live as a benefactor to his
rate. But pompous, nervous, squinting,
mean, full of'conceit and froth, the de
famer of Gen. Dow, the opponent of the
teinperance movement, the advocate of
licensed brothels, the man who wants to
preside at all conventions and introduce
all the resolutions, who secures a failure

shadows still obscure the world of
thought. In the past. when ignorance
and intolerance prevailed, cruelty, fire

to teach liberality,, tolerance, kindness

In this progressive age - , when p,hilar- ,

animals, and would include in that pro:.
tection the children of the publid schools,
there are those who oppose a merciful•
treatment, •and insist on the free use of

Mont; and in support of their views so
far pervert the scriptures as to quote , the
act of the Lord, who made a scourge with

human wisdom is capable or punishing
schoolchildren in accordance with Divine
law.
Old rniei, habits and practices with
some teachers Demme so fixed that they
prefer to adhere to them, rather - than
take the trouble to adopt new, and to
them, untried methods. . And unless
they are forced by public Opinion, or t h e
Directors of the Schools, we may look in
vain for reforms.
The parents whosend their children to
the Public Schools should instruct the
Directors to discontinue this relic of bat
barism, and institute rules more.ln her
troop with a relined civilization and
merciful religion.
But It is asked, What is to be substitu
ted instead of the rod? Arid, How is
discipline to be maintained? , These are
pertinent questions and experience can
answer. In my early school days all the
teachers to whom I was sent freely used
the rod. Some had disorderly schools,
others were under better discipline: In
after years it was my fortune to be sent
to a Quaker school, - or a school taught
by ”Frlends."' In that school the status
of the children was about the same as that
in our public schools at this day. There
was no punishment inflicted, and yet no
.school that ever I saw was under as good
discipline. Lessons were well learned,
attendance was excellent, and very rare
ly was there a truant.. I soon found my ,
self drawing comparisons between the
former and the latter systems, and ask
ing why this succeeds and that fails?
Does the cause rest within the system, or
Is it outside of and independent of it? or,
a school , given, may not any teacher
manage it without flogging just as well
as witn It Are Quakers really better
than other people, or do they use differ
ent influences when teaching? Not much.
But the secret seemed -to be, that they
treat every one with respect, and teach a
respeat for self. No lines of caste are
drawn. None are humiliated, nonelare
elevated at the expense of others. All are
placed on a level; social, friendly,kind.qn
d ustrions, studieus,'giving andreceiving
confidence. Teachers and scholars were,
as familiar as parents and children inf a
family of refinement and , educational
advantages. All this, and more, was ap
parent in school. This was educating
and forming 'character in • a practical
manner, Those were school days when
the skies were rose colored, and learning
was delight, and were in pleasing con
trast with the dark days of flogging,
pinching, ear boxing, hesid snapping and
hand slapping!
But how can it be done? I have.re
cently received the Annual Report of the
Board of Education, city of New York,
from Which I will give several quotations
from the Superintendent's report, show
ing how it is done in that city, where the
material in the public schools is certain.
ly no better than our own, and -yet the
merciful method is asuman.
"There is no reason to suppose that the
generally excellent order and discipline
of the schools has, in any respect, been
unfavorably affected by the gradual but
rapidly progressing diminution of corpo
ral. punishment. In the. fifty primary
departments, the thirty-six primary
schools and. the nine schools for colored
children, and in nearly half of the boy's
department - of the grammar schools, this
mode of discipline has been , wholly :die
continued. In the female departments,
and in the evening schools it is unneces
sary to say it has never found a footing.
The average number of punishments of
this nature in the remaining Gram
mar • schools, where it has not yet
entirely disappeared, has not, during the
past six months, exceeded fifteen Per
month. We may therefore safely con
gratulate ourselves upon the speedy dis
appearance from our noble system of
public instruction of this antiquated
relic of the past age,wittiont the slightest
apprehension that its absence wilt tend
to - the disorder or. neglect of any
of• the duties of the school. On the other
hand, its discontinuance will be found,
as it already has been found, to elevate
the tone of morale, rearm the manners
and stimulate the mental energy and
ambition of the pupils, by the knowledge
that confidence and trust are reposed. In
them, unalloyed by the apprehension of
degrading and humiliating Ontdehmente
for thoughtless .and occasional aberra
tions." ("Bandali.")
"The female grammar schools haie been
uniformly noted for the perfection with
which their pupils are controlled by incen
tives which have no reference • whatever
to physical coercion. .;In these schools
the penalties imposed are deMerit marks,
diminished standing In chase ' , with occa
sional detention atter school, while the
incentives to wellsiolrig are certificates - of
Merit, promotion, and such other ap
peals• to the law or emulation as seem
judicious and appropriate.. The love of
distinction and approbation is not, how
ever, the only, element of character tip
pealet to, for many satisfactory indica
tions ,exist that the sense of duty and
tight, and the monitions of conscience,
are made to perform very Important
„.part In this. beautiful' system of diaoi
plinary training, as lbe PIIPUEI4dVanCI3 in
Maturity of age and character. .
"In the male grammar schools the re
sort to, corporal, punishment 'has been
very conshierably diminished; and in
some of the largest schools this species of
