cVciUtad 'world. So that whatever good you do ynataelf, ia indirectly promoting the. interests of others. And whatever evil you do to your self, is a curse, to others also. . As one of the most powerful end effectual schemes of benevo lence, -I would therefore recommend that, every roaftbo sufficiently selfish to take the beat possi ble care of himself. Each cannot, of course, exercise the same degree of judgment in pjo moting his own interests or the interests of otherf. 5 j"To some, the powers of bloody war belong; ' To some, sweet music, ond the charm of song; To few, and wondrous few, has Jovo assign'd - A wise, extensive, all-considering mind." But a true education makes up for many of the natural deficiencies in constitution and In tellect. An ordinary mind; like the magnet, becoming more powerful by use, may attain to a high degree of development hy a proper training and far out do, both in shrewdness of intellect, and power of enduring mental toil, one who moy be naturally brilliant. Educa tion—mark, a true education, —makes the- weak mind strong and the strong one stronger.— Therefore, if you would place your child in such relations to.others as to enable him to avoid becoming an underling, to avoid becoming the dupe, to avoid the want pf influence among his fellow-men 1 , then give him a thorough educa tion, and you, almost surely, secure your ob ject. 1 But you say and with truth, that our common schools are not what they ought to bo and you cannot, therefore, educate your chil dren, jn accordance with the idea embraced in the 'word "thorough.” You object still farther, and'with a good degree of truthfulness, that our academies are often not much hut time wasters, mind-killers, and moral-destroyers; that you do not like to patronize such expen sive and wasteful machines. Let me ask one simple question. Who are to blame fur this state of things? The following are doubtless some of the sources of failure in our schools : in some districts the directors are dead : in others, the teachers can just crawl for the want of mental strength or the absence of moral courage. Another lamentahio want in our schools is that of an abundant moral atmos phere, both among the teachers ond the schol ars. Another and perhaps the over-shadowing evil— an evil which caused me to lose at least hco years of the best part of my life —is, the lack of thoroughness on- the part of teachers in both our common schools and academies. In my humble endeavors to overcome this palling evil, I have received even in one little t«wn, curses enough, were they placed upon a string to reach around the globe. Here like wise, ia one of the consolations—l have received quite w many heartfelt thanks. But even there the clouds are passing away and the sun U be ginning to beam in upon us. At any rate the "irrepressible conflict” is irrepressible. these are not all. I assert most emphatically; that you, the people, tho parents, the patrons of these schools, ate first and foremost to blame. You almost precludetthe possibility of a teach* en*g properly qualifying himself for bis arduous and responsible duties by the stinted sum that you pay him per month. You stifle his best ef forts by your indifference ; and when the tea cher takes upon himself, that most disagreeable and self-sacrificing responsibility of governing your child, by proper and effectual means, which many of you have neither the disposition nor the capacity for doing, and consequently never TTaw done, then you are all Indignation. There is nobody so “mean” as that Readier; your chUd “shan't go to him any longerand out of school he comes; virtually , so far aa the child Is concerned, turning the teacher oubof •door. Let me make one suggestion here. You will thus have ruined your child; turned your self out into the street to hig mastery, or paved tha way for him to depart from your homo and ■ leave you in your old age uncared for and alone, amd "bring down your gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.” But this, gentlemen, is the encouragement, that eome of you give to our schools, and then complain that they are no better So much like the priest and the Levite, that you not only "pass by” without “ministering” to the ecboola at nil, but you also give them a kick, ns you pass, and essentially say “get over that if you can.” This is but a manifestation of the inter est taken by some of you, (there being honora ble exceptions) in the promotion of our school interests. It is not the outward acts f but the spirit manifested that I deplore. It is a spirit of resistance—of rage—of blind madness. It reminds ua of the story told by an eastern trav eler, of a bear in northern Asia, that went into a woman’s but when she had just taken off the boiling kettle, and ‘smelling around with bis nose, he touched the hot iron. Indignant'at the offence offered to his nervous system through his nasal appendage, the bear clasped the ket tle; the more he clasped it, the more it burned him ; but the more it burned him, the more he yelled and the tighter he hugged it, and so ho died. -Now, the more these parents clasp this Spirit of error, the more this spirit of error will min the parents’ happiness, and the more it ruins their happinesa, the more they yell, and the tighter they clasp it in their embrace ; and their happiness will die out .with that hot error in-their arms. What we most essentially want in our schools, therefore,is the co-operation of parents in the -efforts of teachers to promote their children's welfare.' Let the teacher be encouraged by the warm heart and the extended -band, accompa nied by, "do the best you can by my child and I will sustain you and work with you for his best good.” Then, let the teacher make the pupils understand that his school is to be one of labor; that no scholar, within certain restric tions, caaTeave his class till be has perfectly recited his lesson. “Progress” will then be the watchword. Then' we shall have education every whore, and every where, Education thor ough. And the charge “useless” sometimes applied to our schools will no longer be appli cable. 1 To remedy the evils, and to bring about a proper and healthful public sentiment concern ing our educational system, we must keep agi tating subject in order to keep it constantly before the people. This must ho repeated till Jvery parent shall bo able to think and act in telligently upon the subject of education. Let it be taught, that the first great object of edu cation is discipline; the second, to titnlhc hiowledge. These together with tho sentiment of ■'the poet, "ifay 1 govern passion with absolute sway, And grow wiser, and belter, as life wears away,” shall constitute our platform, broad, compre hensive, liberal; and on that platform lot ;i -'•■Prep&ra to live. And Jet ns for the world’s good, give. As Qod is ever giving. Qire aetiem, thought, love, wealth and time," to win our children on to true manhood. Tbrc fore, I. We-way conclude, that, as parents .your aw tftjhgsted toadueate your piildrsn, Leeau; , progress. being a state of nature, should not be overlooked in estimating your duty. 2. As parents; -you should educate your chil dren because you owe it to yourselves. 3. Because yon-owe it to the children them selves. The discussion of the'fourth and fifth prop-- osltionn, is omited; I will simply mention thorn. 4. Because' you owe it to your country. 5. And last, because you owe it to your holy religion— to God. Viewing the subject in this five fold relation, what a work have the fathers and mothers of our land to perform ! What a responsibility to meet 1 What, destinies to shape ! To vou, then, both parents and teachers, let me 'say, your office is an exalted one’; your station a proud one; and you should not be willing to exchange it for any other, or to shrink from the responsibilities which it imposes. "The Warrior’s name, Though pealed and chimed on all the tongues of fame, Sounds less harmonious to tho grateful mind, Than his, who fashions and improves mankind." Nevertheless, success does nof always come at the call. You may be too deficient in gov ernment, to properly manngff your.child ; your own education may bo ton limited, to intelli gently conduct his studies ; you may labor un der the erroneous and often fatal impression, that, to indulge tho child's every whim, is to make him good and obedient. Though you possess some or all these faults and imperfec tions, yet/there it a glory in the attempt. Do the best you can. "’Tis not in mortalsto command success, But, we’ll do more, Sempronius, we'll deserve it." Let mo caution you then, to bo circumspect, calm, deliberate ; at tho same time, act prompt ly, vigorously, determidly, pcrseveringly. Do not ho so hasty as to he rash, not so slow as to be dolinqt. cut. -"'Without haste ! Without rest Bind the motto to thy breast!

The “Harmonious Democracy,’’ after try ing unsuccessfully in National Convention at Charleston to nominate a candidate for the Presidency and to adopt a platform of princi ples, have determined to try to do the same things twice more. Tho “irrepressible conflict” between squatter sovereignty and a slave code —between the Northern squatters and their Southern lords—between Douglas representing one faction, and Davis representing the other, commenced again last Monday at the city of Richmond. Up to this hour the august body has done nothing to imperil the perpetuity of the Union, however much they may have threat ened to send that glorious old fabric to ever lasting smash in case of the nomination of Douglas next week at Baltimore, and the con sequent election of Lincoln next Pall. We wait with anxiety for tho news from both these conventions, but we are well enough satisfied that no compromise can be effected to bring them to unite upon any basis withour surren dering the honor—if there bo any left—of one side or the other. The same leaders who demanded a recogni tion of tho infamous doctrine of tho protection of slavery in the territories, at Charleston, will demand it at Richmond and at Baltimore; and the samo men who refused to concede this doc trine to the Southern slave-breeders will refuse it again. Thus the irrepressible conflict be tween tho two factions of tho Democracy must continue. The doughfaces having eat dirt so long, are expected to continue in this delightful recreation; and a failure or refusal to do so now, has brought upon them tho present “im pending crisis.” It is in vain forlittlo country newspapers to suggest bases of union in the face of these facts. Particularly futile nnd rain it is to ex pect that any one man can unite the parly, as it is more than probable that every 1 intelligent member of that forlorn party in the North and in the South has mado up his mind upon which of the platforms of Charleston ho is to stand in Uio coming conflict. It is not a question of men now, but a question of measures. The cohesive power of public plunder has for once lost its potency, and not even the eighty or one hundred millions of dollars a year can avert the calamity which is surely coming upon them. Even could we suppose them all united upon the construction of tbo Cincinnati Platform (which.is to suppose an impossibility) the very facts that they have just laid Kansas on the shelf, nnd will just as certainly kill the Tariff BUI this week, would lay out tho mulatto de mocracy so cold that they would never again bo thawed out into vigorous life. —Tho enthusiasm and harmony of our Re i publican friends all over this county, as evinced by tho Mass Meeting last week, convinces us that our people now understand these things as they are. We sincerely believe that if the spirit which now actuates our friends continue* un interrupted by local difficulties, our county will give Abe Lincoln, Poes Thodsaxd Mijourrr, and the Wilmot District is good for lev Tnou b*sd Majority in tbo face of any action or contingency cither at Richmond or Baltimore. Will our democratic friends who are whistling to keep up their courage ohalk these figures on the crown of their hats, and road them on the 12th of November nest f FROIrt WASHINGTON. Correspondence of the AgUatoh "Washington, Jane 7,1860. Monday of this wosk tyns_fflafked by two tins portant events—one tho charter election for Mayor, "Aldermen, &c:, the other the groat speech of Charles Sumner in the Senate. Early in the morning tho police of the city were strung all along the Rail Road track between the Depot and Bladensburg, some sis miles distant, for the purpose of arresting such in terlopers from "Baltimore as were expected to vote against’the present democratic Mayor.— Those imported for the purpose of aiding in his election, of course, were allowed free ingress and honorable escort by the very efficient police who bold their appointment under the present incumbent. Such were the rumors about break fast time, and a lively time was anticipated. Several individuals, suspected of visiting Wash ington for no very good purpose, were locked up to prevent their reaching the polls. Through out tho day at several wards, scenes of violence and even bloodshed were constantly occurring. A number of quiet and peaceable citizens were assaulted and shamefully abused—and when the police were called upon to interfere, it is said they arrested the persons assaulted instead of the assailants, because they would not inter fere with their own partisans. At lea time, a democrat who is temporarily residing in tho city, said ho had just returned from one of the beligerent wards where he heard fifty or sixty pistol shots in a short space of time, and they were fired in " tho midst of a crowd. Several persons were seriously injured—one of whom died in the course of tho night. The footings up after the Spoils were closed showed that Wal lach tho opposition candidate was fairly elect ed, hut in the course of tho next day, there were mistakes enough drummed up to show that Berrct the democratic candidate was elected by twenty-one majority. Tho election will probably be contested. I have dwelt somewhat at length upon this election for the purpose of showing what a miserable set of beings the present and preceding Administrations have gathered around them here, and also showing the necessity of such a change in the govern ment as shall effectually eradicate the whole blood of vipers that has so long lived upon democratic patronage. It is hoped that when “Honest Abo Lincoln” is inaugurated "Presi dent, he will thoroughly clean out tho Augean Stables here, and thus renovate the Capital City of the Nation. I had the pleasure of listening to the whole of Charles Sumner's great speech on tho “Bar barism of Slavery.” I expected a rich treat but was not prepared for such a treat. Sumner is a tall man, well proportioned and has a face and head of classic mold—his whole appear ance denotes a man of mark. His voice is strong and sonorous, and youihavo no difficulty in bearing every word he utters, lie makes but few gestures, and these arc graceful and very expressive. While speaking I noticed that ho often put bis hfind to his head, as if there might still be some lingering effects of the blows ho received four years ago from Bully Brooks. Otherwise there appeared no diminu tion of those great powers of mind exhibited in his other great speech on “The Crime against Kansas.” How beautifully and reverently he expressed “his gratitude to that Supremo Being through whose benign care ho was enabled, after much suffering and many changes, once again to resume his duties there and to speak for the cause which was so near his heart.” How eloquently he denounced that usurpation in Kansas “through which slavery was not only recognized on that beautiful soil, but made to bristle with a code of death such as the world has rarely seen.” How clearly he showed that slavery is inconsistent with civilization, and how thoroughly he exposed the false as sumptions of slavery .propagandists. In what a masterly manner did he show up the practical results of slavery—putting “the slave States and free States face to face, showing, at each point the blasting influence of slavery.” At tho closing up of his speech, although he had been speaking over four hours, he seemed to be freshly inspired with the magnitude of his theme, and assuming an air of bold defiance— his fine voice ringing out clear and musical— ho uttered the following prophetic words; “The sacred animosity between freedom and “ slavery can end only with the triumph of “ freedom. The same question -will soon be oar “ried before that high tribunal, supreme over “ Senate and Court, where the judges will bo “ counted by millions, and where the judgment “ rendered will bo the solemn charge of an " aroused people, instructing a new President, " in the name of freedom, to see that civiliza “ tion receives no detriment.” During the delivery of the speech, the galle ries were filled with an intensely interested au dience. The Democratic side of the Senate was rather thin, and those that remained tried to affect indifference, hut could hardly conceal their uneasiness. Wigfall, particularly, seemed ill at ease—passing from one to another, and making remarks about the speech. Sereral members of the House were present. Keitt, Ashmore, Boyce and several of the fire-eating gentry sat through nearly the whole of it. That great statesman, Senator Bigler, whose intellec tual countenance underwent a variety of shapes and colors, occupied the chair. Vico President Breckenridgo was present most of tha time, apparently very much engaged in looking over a Patient Office Report, or something of the kind. Of course ho did’nt hear tha eloquent advocate of freedom. If ho did ha tried hard to show that be was not affected by the speech. Senator Hammond of "greasy mechanic” and “mud-sill” notoriety was also present, part the time sitting, and part the time moving about, ■with one pair of spectacles over his eyes, and I another on top of his bald head. At tha close of Sumner's speech. Chestnut of South Caroli na got up and made a short but very abusive speech, giving a practical illustration of what Sumner had so clearly proven in regard to the influence of slavery on slave masters. The speech of Charles Sumner will make a deep impression wherever it is read. -But no one can so well appreciate it as these who had the privilege of listening to it. That night'fis I laid my head upon mj pillow, I could think of nothing else but the noble form of tho elo quent Senator, standing in the midst of a pro slavery Senate, and fearlessly pleading the cause of the oppressed. On Tuesday, nearly'the whole day was spent in discussing the bill'making appropriation for returning to 'their own country the Africans recently captured off the Coast of Florida.— Gen. Miltson of Virginia, spoke in favor of tho bill, and in behalf of the slave trading interest of hia state against the African slave trade gen erally. Pryor ( the valiant, was in favor of keeping them, and reducing them to a state of quasi slavery. Thus subjecting" them to the civilizing influeucos-of the peculiar institution, instead of sending them back to.tho barbarism of Africa. Other fire-eating gentlemen were" for letting them shirk fori themselves after the gov ernment had so far complied with the law as to rescue them from the slave pirates. Tho Bill provides for their return to Liberia and for their maintenance one year from the time of their landing there. The Bill finally passed by a large majority. That great swindle, tbelloumas Land Grant, was discussed in tho Senate yesterday, and the Bill which repeals the grant, passed by a vote of'yeas 33, nays 12. ■ Tho House had under consideration the Mis souri Contested Election case. Mr. Blair, the contestant addressed the House in support of his right, and Mr. Barrett, the sitting member replied. The discussion was quite animated, and characterized by much severity on both sides. No conclusion, however, was reached. This morning as I went to take a walk before breakfast in the Capitol grounds, I saw the House flag still up, and on going up there, found the House in session, 'having been there all night. A call of the House was in progress, and members were coming in one after another and giving excuses for their absence. On the sofas and benches were members lying at full length fast asleep. Others were making short, humorous speeches to keep themselves awake. The floor was strewn yvithybits of paper which members had all night amused themselves in tearing to pieces. Occasionally the door was unlocked to let out an-honorable member “on parole,” or to let in who had come in to give an account of himself. Yesterday afternoon, at a rather late hour, tho House went into Committee of tho Whole, and some Republi can member commenced making a speech, whereupon some democratic member objected to proceeding without a quorum. Hcnco’com menced a series of filibustering operations which kept them in session all night, and at this present writing (eleven o’clock A. M.) they are still at it. i That more than nine days wonder, the Jap anese Embassy, arc, to take their final leave of the city of Magnificent Distances, to-day. On Tuesday they bad their farewell interview with the President. Yesterday all day long there was a crowd of boys and girls, interspersed With ‘‘children of a 'larger growth,” hanging around their windows at Willard's Hotel, beg ging for Japanese curiosities. Small bits of Japanese paper were scrambled after when . thrown from their windows, as if they had been nuggets of gold. The Orientals appeared to en joy tho fun greatly, and seemed to be particu larly partial to the fair sex in the distribution of their mementoes. It la said they have expressed themselves as having -been highly pleased with their sojourn in Washington.
