Republican party. When the Domee- - racy declare that the Republicans are substantially Abolitionists, it. is very apt to put them in a rage, fur the charge is looked upon us a reproach. Now what is the fact ? A few months ago Mr. pzwatto made a speech at Rochester, in which ho declared that an irrepressible conflict existed between Northern and Southern society that would continue until one form or the other is over- =I ME thrown. Mr. SE WARD does not believe that the South has the least chance of overcoming the North, for ho annotinc ed at the last session of Congress that the Nortrhad substantially conquered. Ile therefore Exlliev,ml that this "irre pressible conflict" will result in South ern subjection, and he puts himself at the head of the Northern crusade. lie is willing to pamper the sectional feel ing, and to make his prediction come true. If this is not substantial Aboli tionism, what is r Now read the words of HENRY WIL SON, tllO second of SEWARD in this sad awry campaign. His object is not iMotinetly annon flood, fur Lc explicitly declaros that all tho friends of freedom should combine to emancipate the shire, and break the dominion of tho master. Those words bear no double meaning. They eantain a deelanitieti of war against slavo owners, and slavery, not alone in the Tt,rritorios, bat everywhere, in Territoriesand in States; Iliey invoke unity of action, for the deliverance of "three millions of bondmon groaning wider a,sabeloss woos "—the usual Abo lition cant. If this is not Abolitionism, what ? We instanco the avowed o . pinions of the two most prominent leaders of tbo Republican party, men who have done, and arc now doing, more to mould its doctrines than any other two men in the land, to show that the ulterior object of those leaders is to make the Republican party thoroughly Abolition as fast as circumstances will allow. Thoso who have been comforting thomselves with the notion that. rho Republican organi zation has no sympathy with Abolition ists, are grcivously deluded. That par ty is falling every day more thoroughly into (ho hands of SEWARD and Witso,r, and men of like opinions. They will control it in 18(11--give it just such di rectiou as seems most likely to accom plish the groat end—make it so far con serrvatice before the eleetion as to suit the times, but thoroughly Abolition for ac tion.

Them beggars for potty offices, even if suc cessful, aro to be pitied rather than envied. They sacrifice their manhood and independence to luxuriate upon partizan bounty for a season, and when a political revolution sweeps them out of place, encrusted and unfitted for ac tive life, they sit down at inglorious ease, and become mere drones in the great boo-hive of society.

The persons who convened the meeting. were the chiefs and leact:rs of the late reception given to Mr. Dot..elas. After tho gen tlemen who hail beta invited were as sembled, the object i view was mace known by Mr. Forney, who noted as the spokesman and tondo: To them he made the proposal that it.. , ant and prompt action should be take.: to in invite Mr. Douglas to accept of sn in dependent nomination for the Prui deney in 1860, and to consent that his name should be put before the Union as a candidate, without. regard to tho selection of the Charleston Convention. Mr. Attorney-General Knox was also present , an d dissented from the pro posal of Mr. Forney. The ground taken by him was that it was inexpodi ent to act as Mr. Forney proposal, and that the wise and prudent course would be to submit the claims of Mr. Douglas to the Charleston •Convention, and to make every effort to secure the nomi nation for him at the hands of that. body ; but should ho be defeated there, that then ho (Mr. Knox) would willing ly leave the party, and with Mr. Doug las for his loader, try their fortunes with the people. Other persons who wore pratelit differed from bath of these gentlemen, and particularly Mr. Me- Ginnie and Mr. McCormick, who were opposed to any action that would be viatrary to the usages and discipline of the Demoeratio party.

LITTLE BIL6S Ji eotenspoary truly says that one of the most annoying features connected with the credit system is the practice of Looking little semi. We spe.tk on this subject from ex perience, for printers suffer more in this way than any other class of busineel men. The merchant and tradesmen, too, are frequently compelled to enter upon their ledgers amounts which will not pay them fur their trouble, when by the payment of a few cents this could he avoided, and a probable difficulty be pretested in a long account at the end of the year. Establish the practice of paying each foe email amounts, and multitudes would be spared great inconvenience and not a few eared from bankruptcy. It is these un thought and unmixed for small items which swell the amounts which so often becoMe un manageable. If we would all adopt the prate. glee of paying cash fur all purchases under five dollars, we would get along much more smoothly, and all classes of buiiness be bene fited by it, Try the experiment fur one year, and see bow it works.

Much of the disagreeableness and unpleasantness of teach ing might, however, be obviated, if paronta amigiraidierre monism disposed to Unreal the authority of the teacher. To this cause, and that of too much lenity and imialgiuses on the part of parents towards their children, may be attributed mush of that precocity daily manifested in many of our lads and lames who sport " Young America." Ido not pre. tend to say that teachers should have e:• elusive and unlimited control over the chil dren under their charge, not by any means ; fur it is one of the holiest and most important duties of parents to be careful of the religious and moral, as well as intellectual training of their elaihiren. Yet there are many who think they are better judges of their chit• dress's conduct and deportment at school than the beat and most impartial teacher can possibly be. Such persons will generally be found, on observation, to be unable to govern their children properly themselves and hence', they aro unwilling that any one else should. But I have already written more than I had designed when I commenced. The school room, too, like everything else, has its sunny side as well as dark one. It is there ; that the workings of the human mind are ex-1 Whited in all their various bearings. It is there that the first marks of genius make their appearance. It is Nieto that those hidden and mysterious impulses of the soul, which afterwards so eminently distinguish their possessors, are first brought to light; and it is there that many of those droll oc- 1 nurrences and laughable incidents nre en- , acted which are daily going the rounds of the papers. The following rich affair lately msearred in the school which the writer is now teaching—our school. It has been the custom from time almost immemorial fur the teachers of this school, sometime about Christmas, to treat the school to several dollars' worth of sweetmeats, tobacco. cigars, apples, or eider—the youngsters usually pre ferring theiashare in candies, while the older ones took theirs' in things wore substantial. Accordingly, a few days before Christina., some one slipped a note on the desk, which looked more like if a spider dipped in ink had marched across it than a legible piece of writing, anl which, from its soiled and crumpled appearance, looked as though its writer had curried it with hire a long time before he found an opportunity ofpresenting it. The following is an exact copy of it : " Minato cowing one Were nll looking for our omens gift one dollar worth one pc.: of butes Nuts ape of lose letere One dollars wurth of 1858."
