state Sovereignty
De Decayi ng ocracy . lathe Hands
or t h e
One of the cardinal points of the Democ
racy, and which contributed the venom and
the falsehood and the deviltry to the efforts of
the men now in rebellion, has been, and pro
fesses yet to be, that the States were and are sov
ereign, each, in some respects, an independent
power, with rights and franchises which none
could yield without relapsing from the dig
nity of Commonwealths to that of the mere
dependence of a colony. On this doctrine the
slaveholders based their Democracy, and their
right to revolt against the National Govern
ment. On the same doctrine, too, northern
dough-face Democrats justified themselves in
giving aid and comfort to the conspirators.
The National authority, in the judgment of',
these men, was a mere toy, to be used for the
amusement of those 'who come in contact with
it—to be thrown to one sidewhen it ceased to
subserve the idea's of the demagogue and the
tyrant. This was called State Sovereignty.
In other particulars the same men conducted
themselves with what they termed like sover
eign independence; recognizing the right . of
no central power to assume the control of their
political actions. Indeed r -even in 4= day,
(and we are no old, man,) we can remember
when the Democracy of Pennsylvania dic
tated, as it were, rules of action for the De
mocracy of the Nation, always admitting, of
course, that such action was a concurrence
with the wishes, the aspirations and the in
terests of the slave-drivers. • Pennsylvania,
by accepting the title of the wheel-horse of
the Democracy, signified that the State was
ready to draw all that the slaveholders conde
scended to place upon the wagon of party.
But to what end has this great bugaboo of
State sovereignty, both as it relates to parties
and government, come?. Let the proceedings
of the last Democratic State Convention an
swer. In that body the leaders of the Penn
sylvania Democracy yielded all that they pos
sessed of sovereignty—gave up what remained
of their independence, and acknowledged
that the Democracy of the old Keystone State
were no longer capable of conceiving or even
enunciating a platform of principles. In
fact the confession is frank and fair, that the
Democracy of Pennsylvania have no longer
any principles to announce. The party ill
this State has surrendered its sovereignty. The
leaders here have become the most abject
slaves, and offer to cast themselves on the
consideration of a band of political rascals,
shortly to assemble in Chicago, and yield to
that convention the construction of a plat
form. Indeed; so completely used up are the
leaders of the Democracy, that they fear even
to venture the enunciation of their peculiar
lies against those in authority. They
a
willing to give up all to the gamblers whonre
to assemble in National Convention, where
the purpose to dastroy the Godernment will
be reduced to a principle for the support of
every copperhead in the - land.
—We know the day when the Democracy of
Pennsylvania did not occupy so servile a po
sition before the men of the Nation. Then
the Democracy of Pennsylvania were led by
politicians of ability and sagacity—now that
pasty is dragged through the dirt by poltroons
and sneaks.
A. Blow from the Right Qu arter.
Before the rebels arranged to make the ef
fort for the forcible introduction of slavery
into all the States and Territories of the coun
try, they were encouraged to make au armed
resistance to the Government by their Northern
allies, and thereby humiliate the spirit of
freedom which was demonstrating itself in the
Northern, Eastern and Western State author
ities. The Democracyhad lost control of the
National Government, and on that account
they were anxious to see the ensuing admin
istration of President Lincoln, not only Irn- ,
milliated,- but absolutely compelled to retire.
Democratic leaders in the free States argued
with the leaders of the South, that if they
made an armed demonstration of resistance
the people of the free States, rather than fight,
would agree to the forcible retirement of Mr.
Lincoln from the Presidency, and accept in
lieu of him, any man whom the South might
in their condescension, name as a President.
In return for all this, the people of the free
States, the men who contribute the actual
wealth of the Government, would defray all
the expense of the demonstration on the part
of the South. That was, and still is, the hope
of the leading traitors. If they were success
ful, then these wretches could compel the
free States to defray the expense of the rebel
lion. If they failed, then they trusted to the
efforts of their Derdocratic friends, for re
sources to pay the debts of. treason.
—This subject is already taking shape
among the loyal men in the rebel States; and'
we see that the Free State Executive Com
mittee have adopted the following resolutioni_
Resolved, That the Free State party are un
compromisingly opposed to assuming any
debts contracted by the .State of Louisiana,
while under rebel rule, for the pnrpose of car
rying on the war against the United States..

&noon Ecosour: A treatise on the-Prepa
ration, Organization, Employments and A.u
thorities of Schools. By James P. Wicker
sham, A. M., Philadelphia. J. B. Lippen
cott, & Co.
It is *a remarkable fact, that at no period in
the history of this State or nation, have
greiler efforts been directed towards the lin
provement of all systems of education, than
at the present. One would have supposed,
pith the nation involved in a bloody effort
::.for. its existence; the edueatiou 9f,ther young
would have been nekleeted 11Q - struggle
and preparation of war. Happily for the fu
bare of the . Government this is not the ease.
The %Irk whiCh r9f. Wickersham has given
to the public, while it is of a character not to
attract general attention, will nevertheless
command the respect and careful considera
tion of those to whom it is addressed. To
school directors and teachers, this work must
prove invaluable, as it simplifies every duty
imposed upon these, and leaves no feature in
the organization of a school undiscussed. In
deed, a careful study of such a volume would
have a tendency often to develope a facility
for teaching.
The work is for sale at Bergner's cheap
book store, Market street.
IT having been reported that the Govern
ment was being defrauded in the article of
coffee, and that grotmd glass was foundin the
bottom of barrels, a commission was appoint
ed to examine into the subject. The result
is that some 'coffee had been emptied into a
barrel which previously contained fragments
o f.l, bottle. This is the origin of the charge
of fraud.
[For the Telegraph.
Our Common Schools.--No. U.
Since the date of my last communication
the Trugte.es of the Harrisburg -Academy have
had a meeting, and have taken measures to se
cure the prolongation of the lease of their
buildings and grounds on Front street. The
majority.of the Board are of the opinion that,
under existing circumstances, this course is
the best that could be pursued, and mainly
for the following reasons:
"Why," they ask, "should we transfer this
property to the control of a body of men who
confessedly are not now complying with the
terms of the law under which they are hold
ing office? What assurance have we that they
could establish and secure, for the benefit of
the public, such schools as we would have a
right to expect? And whilst men are elected
to the office of• School Director who are man
ifestly so incompetent to discharge its impor
tant duties, why should we entrust still greater
responsibilitfes in their hands?"
There is much weight in these considera
tions, it must be admitted. But upon whom
does it fall?
I hope, Mr. Editor, that the School Direc
tors of our city will begin,to :see where'they
stand: Had they complied, as they 'should
have done, and ;Were urged to do, with the
plain terms of the law, by consolidating the
boards and grading all the schools of the city,
systematically and thoroughly, so as to be
ready to complete the arrangement by the ad
dition of one high school. for males and one
for females, there would now have been no
serious difficulty in the way of the proposed
transfer of a very valuable property into their
hands, that would at once have enabled them
to carry out this design almost without any
additional taxation. Their course has been
penny-wise and pound foolish.
So much for the past; that cannot now
be remedied. But how as to the future?
Will they now and henceforth set themselves
to work to carry out the law in its letter and
spirit? If they do, we shall soon see a vast
improvement in all our schools. The chil
dren will be promoted 'from grade to grade
as they are prepared f or it, and not just as the
crowded state of -the rooms may push them
from one departinent to. another. They will
then be transferred from one grade to another
in regular classes, and each ,teacher will know
precisely at what stage of their progress he
receives his pupils and how far he is expected
.and required to carry them. Primary schools
will be increased in number and diminished
in fifiZej - end thnse to he hereafter established
will be so located aS to be distributed equally
throughout the' whole city. With the rising
of the grade the number of schools will dimin
'ish, Until' of the highest grade there will be
but one for, each sex. The question, as to
how high the standard Of this last grade shall
be, will have to be decided by the people
themselves in choosing their directors. If
the majority of the citizens prefer having it
of such a character as to render private schools
unnecessary, they can elect such directors as
are known to favor such an arrangement.
Meanwhile, it is a serious question with•
those who; through the neglect of the control
lers, to provide such schools as these, are
compelled to send their children to private
schools, whether they shall submit to an
onerous taxation from which they thus derive
no benefit. Unless the controllers faithfully
comply with the law, they have three dangers
to apprehend, either of which may suddenly
cause them no small embarrassment.
1. Tax payers may say : "Give us better
schools for our larger children, so that we need
not send them to select schools, or we will
not pay our taxes." And what will the Direc
tors reply to this? If they do not strictly
comply with the law, they .cannot compel the
payment of the taxes they impose.
2. The State Superintendent of Coalmen
Schools may say: "Comply with the letter
and spirit of the law, or I will withhold your
portion of the annual appropriation for com
mon school purposes." In that case, we shall
have to make up, the deficiency, perhaps $2OOO,
by a direct extra tax, and still have no im
provement in our schools.
3. The law expressly provides, that "if Con
trollers shall refuse or neglect * * *
to perform any other duty enjoined by law, the
court of quarter sessions of the proper county
may, upon complaint in writing by any six tax
able citizens of the district, and on due proof
thereof, declare their seats vacant and appoint
others in their stead, until the next annual
election for directors." The Proper showing,
therefore, that the present controllers have in
any respect evaded the provisions of the law,
in their case made and provided, would sub-.
ject them to rather rough handling, and
should be avoided, if possible.
We hope they will -take another good look
at the law, and then set to work did carry it
out with a will.
They. have much to encourage them in this
good work. Past ineffectual attempts of indi
vidual directors have prepared the way for
rapid progress, if the matter be laid hold of
in earnest by the present board. The partial
grading, as it now exists in both wards, may
be readily modified and improved. Several
excellent teachers, already in active service,
stand prepared to lend their cordial and in effi-
fient co-operation carrying out the system.
"The North ward already possesses a female
school of unusual excellence, and its principal
male school would deserve the same com
mendation were it not for the cramming sys
tem that has been retarding its elevation.
This praise, howeei'ar, is due solely, to the
more than ordinary capacity and zeal and dili
gence of the teachers in these respective
schools, who have been toiling and struggling
under great disadvantages. Let us hope that
a better day is coming, 'when the common
Schools of Harrisburg will be models of ex
cellenee from the lowest to the highest; Sb
good; indeed, that every citizen may be proud
to send his children there, and that strangeis
may find, in our admirable schools, an induce
ment to seleyt our city as their home.
