The following extracts from a work enti
tled "Three Hours School a day," by the late
Wm. S. Crandal, - we publish by request.—
We do not of course, endorse the sentiment
entirely, some of the ideas advanced howev
er are good, and—in certain localities—
might be beneficial. Variety is the spice of
life, and we are quite willing that all sides
shall be heard.
HEALTH is WEALTH.—A. strong arid sound
body—a body capable of not only endurance,
but capable of resisting external influences
to disease—is a capital for life, the value of
which cannot be computed in money. It is
perpetual wealth—it is perpetual pecuniary
independence—it is perpetual ability to aid
others in the kind offices of friendship and
love—a perpetual source of contentment and
happiness. This, I say, is the first object of
school education—of any education fit to be
called education; while the fact that it is
made neither tha first nor the last, in our
present system, proves that the present sys
tem
is false.
THE TIME Fort ExEßCisE.—The natural I
law's show that the exercise so imperiously de
manded by childhood and youth should be had
at the very time they are now confined in the
school room, in the afternoon. As an enthu
siastic Frenchman might say, that it is the
time for "von grand" exercise for the twen
ty-four hours. Shutting them up, therefore,
is contrary to law.
PltECoclous CHILDItEN.—Are we told that
these unoffending, though not uncomplaining
or unresisting victims, do really study during
those six hours ? are actually devoting that
period to mental labor ? Then ought the
system to be abandoned instanter ! For this
is what no child or youth can endure, and
maintain the integrity of his constitution.—
This it is which compels so many parents to
walk beside the graves of "bright" children
--"too good for earth," etc.; who do study
six hours a day in school only to be transfer
red from the "head of the class" to the head
stone of the silent tomb. The hopes of pa
rents are blighted ; they feel keenly the loss
of one from whom they expected so much of
happiness in a brilliant future : and they
wonder "why it is so l" This it is again,
which makes your philosophers at ten and i
fifteen, your blockheads at twenty-five and
forty. The fire of their energies is burnt
out.; while, by the same process, the furnace
which shouldfeed - 1110 flame for life, is. made
a wreck. Electricity is the power of the
man. Study exhausts—rapidly exhausts-L I
—that force, while at the same time it is do- $
ing little toward replenishing_ it. No, no !
he who compels or permits an intelligent
child -L-one with a positive developement of,
the electrical temperament 'and intellectual
faculties—who is consequently fond of men
tal activity, and whose mind acts with celer
ity and energy,—to study in a school room
six hours a day, is a destroyer of the fairest
of sod's works. He is a destroyer of a well
developed human being ; a' destroyer of the
highest forms of human usefulness and hap
piness. Hels a curse to the race ; and bet
ter, far better, that he had "never been
born."
PLAY-Rooms - NEchssA.al'.—'4Vhereever there
are •children, there should be a play-house or
play4oom, with windows • secured from
breakage, for the use_ of the children in all
sorts of weather which render out-door play ;
unpleasant; unprofitable in the way of wear
and tear of clothing, or exposing their health '
tuinjury. On these days, the children need
the exercise as much as,- on pleasant days ;
they need to "holler," that their lungs may
be exercised ; while' this arrangement
relieve the older members of the household
from a racket which is not supposed - to do
,them any good. It may be such an arrange
ment would cost a little money and trouble ;
if the'money is not to be had, that is z...n end
=of -the argument ; but to those who can com
mand the trifle that would .be necessary, I
would say, you have no business- to be in
charge of a lot of childien, .if you cannot
:take as much special pains with their educa
rtion .as you would with that of a fancy
Shanghai, or with that of a pet colt for those
•children. to ride.
NO SOUND MIND IN AN UNSOUND BODY.-
IN.TOVV the consummate folly of this business
of school education is in the idea,- that' the
4izhest interests and integrity, the -body can
be sacrifice,..
and at the same time the highest
interests and integrity cf tize mind be main
tained. Here lies'the root of the folly.—
By quack educators—with faces-as long and
rigid,as ther brains are stolid—wt; will be
told ;—''lt is very well all this talk about the.
body, but it is the mind—the immortal mind
—whose interests we are seeking to 'pre
mote ! It is the mind which is the man ;
the body is of no consequence_.compared
with the condition of the mind." And, so
in school education thebody is' substantially
forgotten. I say "forgotten." I claim a
right to this inference, when the natural laws
of the body—in the school system now in
vogue—are hourly, daily, yearly, systemati
cally trampled on. I repeat that the infer
ence from the action of parents and teachers,
who, in school education,
trample on the
laws of body is; either that they forget, or
that they deny their existence. They are of
course incapable of the crime of knowing
and disregarding them. For every tyro in
the SCIENCE OF MAN knows that so blended
and intertwined are the relations of the body
and mind, that the integrity of one CAN xoT
be assailed, 'and the integrity of the tither re
main. It is true that the body is not immor
tal ; that it. is the tenement of the- mind du
ring its stay on earth ; but it is equally and
forever true that by the condition of the oc•
cupant is ever affected by the condition of
the tenement. Nature and revelation unite
in this testimony. Hence, they degrade the
mind who set at nought the laws which govern
the body.
A Sad Case
A number of years ago, a gentleman, a res
ident of this county, was given to occasional
fits of insanity, but for the last half dozen
years, if ourmemory serves us rightly, had
not suffered a relapse, and consequently been
able to conduct his business—that of a far
iner—intelligently and prosperously. Quite
recently, however, the emissaries of Know-
Nothing,ism made a set upon him, and with
promises of office, and misrepresentations
without number, induced him to join their
order, and take its unhallowed oaths. But
no sooner had he done so than the balance of
his mind began to give way, and in the
course ofa week, his ill-advised step so prey
ed upon him as to cause insanity of the worst
form. He frequently complains that "they
aworahim into hell, now let them swear him
our." It is a sad case, and carries with it a
terrible lesson. - We need not enlarge upon
j.t.—Gettysbura Compiler.
THE CINCINNATI RIOTS,
Dreadful state of Affairs.
Crscraserm, April 3—A. M —The result
of yesterday's election. is still undecided. It
is alleged that fraud has been discovered in
the Twelfth Ward, . which gave Farren,'
:(Dom.) for Mayor; about 500 majority, and
it , is now- proposed to throw out the entire
vote. If this Is done, • Taylor, the Know:
Nothing candidate, Will have abont 100 ma
jority ; but if the vote of this ward is coun
ted, Farren will have from 400 to 500 ma
jority. The Eleventh Ward, the ballot box
es of which were destroyed by the mob, is
supposed to have given Ferrer], (Dem.) from
500 to 700 majority; and had the entire vote
of the city been counted, the whole demo
cratic ticket weuld. have been • elected by
from 500 to 1000 majority.
There was no more rioting last night.—
The excitement is still very great, It is sup
posed that ten or twelve persons have been
killed or mortally wounded. Pistols were
discharged indiscriminately, and the only
wonder is, that the ,distruction of .life was
not greater. It was, altogether, the most
disgraceful election day ever experienced in
Cincinnati.
, 3 p. M.—lt was ascertained upon an in
vestigation of the ballot boxes in .the Twelfth
Ward, that they contained fifty more tickets
than there were names on the poll-books, and
one of the Judges of the Election insisted up
on throwing out the. entire vote, but the oth
er would not agree to the proposition. While
the Judges were counting the votes a body of
men forced their way into the room, and
seizing the boxes containing the tickets, ear-,
tied them, together with the tally sheets, in
to the street, and burned them in the Presence
of the crowd '
The votes of the Eleventh , and Twelfth
Wards are thus destroyed. The votes of the
remaining wards give Taylor, the Know-
Nothing candidate for Mayor, 477 majority:
It is reported that Mr. Taylor will not ac
cept the office of Mayor under these circum
stances.
9 P. M.—The excitement continues with
out abatement. The cannon taken from the
Germans yesterday by the Americans, was
quietly conveyed from fhe Public Landing
this afternoon, by the former. Ari immense
number of people are now assembled in the
Fifth street Market space. They,h.rave sent
a committee to the Freeman-.S Hall, over the
canal, for the purpose of regaining the can
non.' and have resolved that, if not given up I
forthwith, they will, go and lake it again:—
This they • will attempt, if;etece.ssary, and
another seiious riot will pr.obablyenaue. -
From - the - Cin ciriMati Inquirer, Al. 5. *
" Yesterday will be long remembered in Cin
cinnati, both by -the law-abiding citizens and
the anarchists, especially. by: the latter, who,
in their
,unholy efforts, to . foment prejudices
between - the native and foreign-born *citizens
it:ave unhappily succeeded in producing a
chasm which we much fear will require
years of social intercourse to close. The
flame has at length been blown, until it has
ignited all the combustible material Of bigot
ry, preju dice, ignorance and hate, to, blaze
with remorseless violence.
. During .r,uesday night the neighborhood
horderingupon the canal was alive with ex
citement. It had been rumored that - by day
break, a party of. desperadoes were prepared
to make an onslaught upon- the German citi
zens, and the latter, like a beTeagured garri
son,
.were on the alert to 'receive'them. The
streets abovathe canal' had .been barticaded
under the supervision of men who had play,-
ed prominent parts in the street fights ofPar
is, during the memorable three days, arid
there was - a confidence in the'sys'tematic ar
rangeinents made' which-imparted a feeling
of - security that no -successful , coup,de main
could be
: effected , from the.disorganizers on
this side. All this time the Germans were
acting purely upon the defensive. "Wel4ve
been- insulted and abused," said• they, in
speaking to one of our reporters ; ~'they have
assailed our dearest privileges, as citizens by
their outrage upon our ballot boxes, and note
we are threatened• with an attack upon' Our
homes.. What can we expect: from brigands
who thus .defy the. first sacred principle of
liberty They would murder us in cold blood,
and we would be unworthy the privileges
we enjoy as American citizens, We're- we to
quietly submit to further indignity."
This was the general-sentiment pervading
the community across the canal, and there
- was a stern determination to stand to their
rights as free citizens which calmly expressed
proved their earnestness. Early. yesterday
morning . a dense mass of beidgs were collec
ted on 'Fifth street Market-space, brought to
gether by - thoSe talismanic scraps of red pa
•ner—fit emblems, in their hue of blood and
r neendiarisni-Hv'
- hich. had been dropped the
i.
night previously throughout tut; :T,':!:let:s,ef the
city; and they were addressed by sundry
demagogues, who, like toad stools in filthy
soil, spring up spontaneous for' the occasion..
Various efforts were made to induce -some
one of the buncombe heroes to &ead.volunteers
to an assault upon the German entrench
ments, but in vain; there was no one in that
band of spurious heroes who had ehegrit,
commonly called spunk, to lead so forlorn a
hope; and thus matters -dragged along. ; In
the mean time, Pacific speeches were niade
by Messrs. Faran, Day, Pendleton, Gerrard,
Judge' Storer, and' others;, while General
Moor, Colonel Sullivan, and other officers, in
order to allay the excitement, agreed to give
up the possession of the cannon held by the
Germans, and constituting the principle ap
ple of discord, provided .the Sheriff would
give a document acknowledging its receipt.—
This was supposed to be a move which would
restore harmony, and, accordingly, - the can
non was taken in charge by Col. Kennet, and
without the wheels, it was.placed on a dray;
but .on arriving at the corner of Fourth and
Broadway, near the arsenal, where an im
mense crowd had assembled, a rush 'was
made toward the dray,"and it was taken pos
session of by a party of half grown boys,
aided by a few men. Sheriff Brashears and
Col. Kennett mounted the -dray and begged
the rioters to permit them to retain it—
The crowd asserted that they. wanted the
wheels with the '' aun. A scene.of the utmost
confusion ensued, and the ; rioters unharness
ed the horse, thrusting the Sheriff from the
dray, and dragged the dray up town to the
vicinity of Court and Walnut streets; where
a halt was made,
The excitement continued until about One
o'clock le ar., when, upon a possitive pledge
that the weapon should not be used against
th3m, the running gear was also given up by
the Germans to the Sheriff, previous to which,
however the' crowd npOn the lower side of
Walnut street was.addressed by several indi
viduals, prominent among whom was Mr. J.
J. Dennis, who having ascended a large
hogshead, proceeded to-address the crowd.—
In relation to the present difficulty, he was
opposed to retiring until the whole of the
cannon was forthcoming.
It was hoped that, the cannon and its ap
purtenances having been delivered up, quiet
would be restored; but no such:thing. The
mob then insisted that the muskets and small
arriis' 'should be surrendered; but this was
asking too much. The Germans had no con
fidence in thepomises of men ; ;Who .had so
recently given , evidence of .thier 'utter disre
garcl'ol'lliw, order and honesty, and preferred
holding on to their arms, and, if need be,-dp
ing with harness on their backs; and thus
matters went on. The stores throughout the
German district were closed; men paraded
the streets with stern features, and armed to
the teeth; the Freemen's and Turners'•Halls
were fortified like fortresses; stacks of ugly
looking muskets, bristling with bayonets,
were piled in the rooms; and, as we.looked
at the -preparations, we could not.but concur
in the prudence of their adversaries' in,
keeping, upon the southern side of• the ca
nal.
About five o'clock in-the afternoon, a par
ty who bad possession of the. Vine-street
bridge, commenced shouting, - "Hurrah for
Pap Taylor 1." - The Germans, considering
this an insult, immediately marched in dou
ble quick time to the charge: Several pistol
shots were fired; there was a slight skirmish,
and the result was that the Germans- took
and held ,possession -of the , bridge, and. thus
matters continued. The excitement down
town, in .the meantime, was intense. A
large meeting was held' in the Hall of the
Mechanics' Institute, by' the K.. N's, which
was crowded, while dense masses was con
gregated. outside. Riot • was loose, and the
powerth Upon which, in. ordinary., times; law
abiding citizens look for safety and prOtecticin,
were paralyzed. ' • '
. At a late hour last - night-thingeremained
in the same state, and every Well-disposed
citizen. s wa:s terror-stricken in fear Of what
the next • hour • would "produce. George
M'Cnok, the Attorney-General of - the- State,
arrived, here in the .train from Collumbus,
with full power. 40 act in place, of the Gover 7
nor, who is absent in Baltimore. ' The troops
in Newport have - been intimated' to keep in
readiness at a. moment's call. Before this
may meet the eyes of our readers, God alone
knows what bloodY deeds may be enacted !
With our whole soul, we pray for the best
that the dangerous crisis may pass, and-that
our city may never again be disgraced by
such another reign of terror.
April s—lt is now reported
that the JudgeS of the- Twelfth 'Ward-polls
had the _tickets so nearly counted, and having
preserved a o memorandum of the -state of the
ballots before the ballets and poll books Were
destroyed; will enable them to render - - a.
swthn Statement of the vote cast, which will
-be received by the City... Clerk As the-returns
from the ward. This .will-give nearly all the
candidates the Democratic ticket a major - -
ity,And it 'is stated that they will all besworn
in next Monday.
The complete returns for magistrates • elect
the Democratic candidates by 800 majority.
The ballots for these officers werenot.de
stroyed- in the Eleventh arid Twelfth Wards.
The recent heavy rains have effectually
served to cool the excitement of the,publc in
relation to the matter.
CINCINNATI 2 April 6.—L-A. large, party of
. 1
rowdies, armed with clubs; guns and
. pistols,.
went 'to Lafayette House ) . at :the corner of
Mill:and .Fron.t streets, .kept by, a German
named Jacob Knight, :and demanded liquor.
They were furnished with' beer, when they
commenced breaking the glasses and knock

down three GermanS, and - stabbed another,

The Past—The Present.---The Fhtn.re.:
I look upon the present as one of the most
important periods in the history a the coun
try, connected as it is' with the onward
course- Of her prosperity and glory ; and it be-.
hooves every lover of free-institutions,. no:
matter what may be his peculiar notions in.
relation to individuals, to divest himself of
predjudice, and see if there is - anything in
the past history of the country that would
iustify-him in the desertion of those princi
ples which have •,suc.cessfully developed her
resources and placed her in the front rank of
the nations of the erth, and crowned the
framers of the constitution • imperisha
ble honor for theirprudence- and sagacity.
. The constitution as it exists, and the in
terpretation given to it by Washington,Jef
ferson, "Mattison,; and Jackson, is the seet
anchor of our political 'salvation, - and when
ever the public mind shall become morbid or
insensible to the blessings which have flown
from this sacred instrument, after the expe
riment has been Manifest'in the working of
the government;' it is a sufficient cause•of
alarm for the permanency of, our. free insti
tutions: -
nom the adoption of the constitution there
haVe alWays existed two great parties,-which
were necessary for: he successful working of
the government, because they were -calcula
ted to watch each 'other; so as to keep the
government in that track which the fathers
of the republic had marked out; but no in
telligent man will pretend to--say that the
framers of the constitution, ever conceived
the opinion that the great principle which
gave life and vitality •tnit civil end religious
liberty—would. ever be made a test in the
political disputations between contending
parties, because that blessing is a constitu
tional inheritance, secured and guarantied
by 'the blood of (Mr revolutionaiy • fathers.—
Strike that glorious privilege down,-,and the
constitution would not be worth-preserving,
for, its emasculated lorm,, instead'. of being
lootedtition with reverence and filial affection
would be alivina monument of our political
depravity—nokliaving , patriotism and a love
of country sufficiently, stamped upon our
na
tional character' to appreciate its intinifcild
blessings. .
The working ofthe government has tested
practically the wisdom - pf the- fathers of the
democratic school;. and- even those who,
tipon some abstract
,q . uestion of public policy,
have affiliated with' the - federal party, when
they became Itillyconvinced• of the consoli
dating tendency_ of
,their_ measures, have
sought the earliest. opportunity of reuniting
themselves with their ancient fliends,Thori
estly acknowledging -their 'errors of judg
ment. Immediately after the adoption of the
federal constitution ; Mr. Hamilton-and Mr.
Jefferson were antagonistical to, each other
in the construction and interpretation of
that instrument—hence • the formation of the
federal and democratic parties, which resul
ted in the election 'of Mr. Jefferson, whose
genius and character" gave permanence and
stability to our Political; system which :is the
admiration of .the civilized world. During
the administration of that illustrious man,
his discernment and intelli g ence caused him
to reflect upon our internal position, and his
sagacious mind led him to the conclusion
that it was absolutely necessary for the de
velopment of the resources of the great val
ley of the Mississippi, and to secure forever
our national independence by commanding
its delta, that we should procure Louisiana
from France, surrounded as we were then by
the'possessions of spain,, a weak and imbe
cile government, that could be used.by our
ancient enemy in any stroke of 'policy that
she might deeni either -expedient - or proper
in her machinations to retard our growth and
paralyze our national existence. Upon this
question of public policy, which has added
strength and 'stability to our common coun
try, the federal 'party at that time opposed
its acquisition; but, where is the man now
who possesses one particle of intelligence
who will have the hardihood to say that the
acquisition of Louisiana was not a master
stroke of • policy there . is one to - be
found, he would, in. every sense of its mean
ing, be a "know-nothing," or au:old-fashion
ed-federalist, WhOse policy, if it"had been
carried. out according •to Mr.-Hamilton's idea,
would have, confined this government to the
original thirteeen, States which formed,the
governrrient - at that time,- - and *With such
States as inip.':ht have been for Med oui of - 'the
Northwest: Territory, - ceded' by. Virginia to
the general,government. ; This was. -a great
democratic measure, which time. has devel
oped, net only to have been sagacious, but
expedient_-and proper, •and' without which
the young and growing States of that great
valley could-never, have. developed theirre
sonrce.
If '"know-nothinrrism," federalism, and
abolitionism could ' have controlled - at •that
time the destinies of this .great-and growing
country, what would be her present
.condi
tiOn ? Instead of having closed the 'war of
1812 in a blaze of glory at New Orleans,
which- added strength to our national name,
we might this day be struggling with Great
Britain for egress and ingress through that
channel to the common highway of nations,
carrying to other.' countries the productions
of our industry and enterprise.-- It, was, ne
cessary that we should have control of-the
MissiSsippi and the Gulf of ' Mexico for
tional protection and comtriercial expansion - ;
but if-the federal party had triumphed.over
Mr. Jefferson at that time, it would, not
have been accomplished; yet the conglome
rated elements, all'of which have sprung up
froth the decayed-- carcass of • federalism,
which was consigned,to:the tomb of the . Ca
pulets, in the embrace of "conservatism,"
under Mr. Rives, with whiggery, both of
which are this day seeking to' mould them
selves-into a secret organization, that they
may act in concert with abolitionism, which
has beep ..fulrninated by Geh. Wilson . , the
know-nothing • senator from' Massachusetts,
and W. H. Seward, - the know- nothing fusion
senator from .New York., Such an associa
tion, under the title of the "stars and stripes,', l
which they have never respected, much leSs
honored, is_an insult, to • the- intelligence of
the age in which w.e live., Did this "star
and stripe" abolition' party aid us in the ac
quisition of Texas and -California ? If their
-sentiments had prevailed; • would the "stars
and stripes?? of our common. country have
floated in Wonder, and admiration to those
whoo beheld them n' the shores of the pacific
or 'in the - valley of 'Mexico? - Wherever the
-flag of our, country - has floated in triumph,
carrying with it the blessings of constitu
tional freedom, it was carried by the old
demoeriitic party which has proved true to
the Constitution. All 'of its measures'are
open , for the ; public eye,.-and,- it has, never
condescended to proclaim the, oentimerit that
it would "stoop tb conquer" to decornpliSh
anynnholy purpose, but always - paid'proP . -
-er' respect to the. intelligence of:lhe -people
in the exercise of their sovereignty. .
To the future, every democrat must look
witti confidence, and rally around those
who have .proved faithful and true to the
constitution. bird in. hand is worth, two
in the bush;" and when such men as Mr.
'McMullin present' themselves to the people
for - their soft-ages; they- should not wander
away from the path of duty to -worship some
false
,ged:.. He thoroughly understands the
details of legislation, which it would take a
'new man some time to 'underStarid before he
could become efficient ;- and his antecedents
will compare with those of any of his col
leagues, or any other democrat.
