THE DEMOCRAT. fhwriiliijr, December O, 19G9. HiRiiALL cwxTf nrno CRITIC CMfUTIWI At the meetiuir of the democratic Central Committee, on the 13th instant, it Tfas decided to hoU the County Convention to select delegates to attend the State Convention, on Saturday, December 1 1, '69 at one o'clock P. M., at the Court ITouse in Plymouth; and it is recommended that the democracy of the respective townships in the county hold their township conventions on the Saturday preceding the day of the county convention, and select their delegates to attend the county convention. It is hoped that every township w ill hold a convention and that they will all be fully represented at the county convention. Now is the time to lay the foundation for the next campaign. Let the primary rconv.'ntions he well attended and good democrats selocted to attcd the ounty and State conventions. By order of Committee. A. C. Thompson, Chmn. M. Ha Downey. Sec.

Ol It VEn STATE TIC KET. The question of sectional representation on the ticket to be nominated ly the 3th of January convention, fa being agitated by the Democratic press of the northern part of the state. The statement made by some, that the best positions, and in fact marly all, are invariably pribMsji up by the central and southern poftaosM of the state, is probably not without some foundation in fact; hut we rather question the efficacy ofj the method adopted to remedy the evil. Ve cannot certainly win the other portions of the state to our view of the question, by denouncing what we denominate tffeir selfishness in times past. If the northern part of the state had the numerical power. c?ei when united, to carry its point, against tlio balance of the state, the method adopted by our coteuipararios would not be objectionable as to efficiency, even if it were H to proprietyWe conceive it to he better policy to present to that convention the names of irood men. bv that we mean men who are good for the position for which their names are presented. and offer such arguments to the delegates from other portions of the. -'ate as will eoiftyiuce them of the mcemfy if we would succeed, of giving the north part of the state a fair repre&atitiof) on the ticket. In this way there will be no personal animosities or tcctkmal ill feeling to allay after our nominations are made; but our whole energies may be brought against the hated policies of our political enemies. If we love one portion of the state more than another, we would be excused for centering our sfcctlOSM on that section where our home and interests are. But while we claim for our section all the rights, privileges, and political emoluments to which an equitable adjustment of j .rtv favors would entitle it, we shall, w ith no less promptness and alacrity, extend to other portions of the state, that which is their due. When we take into consideration political age and experience. strength of the popular vote of the party. the number of able and exp vi- m ed men whose nomination would add strength to the ticket, the majorities which will be given the nominees of the convention, the central and southern portion of the state can certainly make a better showing than we of the north can. And if, at any time in the future, as some of our cotemporaries 111 ink has been done in the past, we should fail to get all that we claim is our due, we should recollect that there are other portions of tho state, whose Democratic majorities are fully as large as ours, to be conciliated. The trouble of which our cotemporaries complain has not been so great for the last few year.-", as previous to that time. It will be recollected that the central and southern portions of the state readily conceded to the north, at the la.-t state convention, the highest 9riijnal yooilSoB DB the ticket, that of lieutenant governor. Wo J this w:is the highest sectional virion for the reason that Hendricks was .t t soo iMSMsl m:m in anv 00800 of the word. IS) He belonged to the whole state, and in connection with the office for which he was unanimously nominated. he belonged to our portion of the state as much as another. In that convention it was not charged that the north was nor fairly dealt with. This being true, we rather question the propriety of attempting to f restall the action of the next eonvention by nVaoaneing in advanH ahat we fear will I4 its action. Wc submit to our cotemporaries, if they will not feel more like working fot the success of'the siokoi be nominated by the 8th of January convention, if they smother their preliminary indiglutiOfi, and hold themselves in readincs to cater the canvass at that time, and work with all their energies for success. When a man sets bis heart on the accomplishment of a certain object, and fails in Iiis anticipations, he is apt to be morose, and cros, and eaimot work for the elements which encompassed h downfall with the same seal and earnestness that he would work for the taute object hsd he net before tnken aneft an ncthre part against it, although uu opiniona may have undergone no change. Our notto it the opening of a campaign

should he "the whole ticket;' and th?tt our disappointment at not getting a certain man on the ticket, or that a certain section is not as fully represented aa we think it should be. will in nofwnj affect our zeal and earnestness in its support.

TIIK REPIBLK AX PARTY. The recent election farce in Mississippi furnishes another instance of the perfidy of the Republican party. Ever since that party came into existence, it has been the self-appointed champion of free thought and action. From tho timo of its birth until its ascension to the control of the government in 1860, free prew, free speech, and free ballot was the rallying-cry which aroused the enthusiasm of the masses of the party, who received their inspiration from the sweet lullaby of "John Brown's soul goes marching on." A party founded on the "great moral idea" of freedom, and whose onward march has been accompanied by the loudest professions of love of freedom and justice, would naturally be expected to fulfill at least a part of their promises, if they were in earnest. But their earnestness was applicable only to their desire to get control of the government "When that object was attaiucd, their professed love of liberty was found to consist in allowing the elective franchise to be debased to the lowest purposes to secure a triumph iu doubtful districts. Dui ing the war, and since its close, the more respectable Republicans made no attempt to defend the manner in which elections in the southern states were conducted by government officers. The military frauds and outrages were so palpable that none but the most reckless would deny them. But nearly all were ready In excuse them on the plea that the end justified the means. It is a true statement, that not one fair and honorable election has boon held in the south under the contrel of the Republican administrations; and it is a true prophocy that, no matter how long the party may hold the military power in the southern states, there never will be a fair and honorable election held there. Some charitably disposed persons laid the flattering unction to their souls that tho ''government" would permit the election to be conducted fairly in Mis sissippi, even if they did not assist in securing to every voter the right to vote in peace, without fear of personal violence. Tho course w hich tho people of Virginia and Tennessee had recently taken. when left comparatively free to vote as thev chose, it was thought would have a salutary effect on the administration, and induce it to let them alone, if noth ing more. But all such speculations vanished into thin air when the regulations for holding tliu Mississippi election became known. If tho administration permitted the holding of a fair election in one instance, it would, be setting a bad example precedent which tho people would expect to have followed in the future, and which would givo infinite trouble to the truly loyal gentlemen w hose duty it is to organize victory for freedom. Not even the political welfare of a brother-in-law, a personage heretofore all-powerful, 1 could induce the administration to change tho rule which has been heretofore followed in all the southern elections. The tyranny of this party of freedo'.i is without a parallel in this country. Not content with depriving law-abiding citizens of their liberties, they cnslavo whole communities and states, and all iu the name of freedom. And it is this party which in the coming campaigu will ask the people of the north, and compel the people of such states as Mississippi, to endorse them and all the outrages on the rights and privileges of whole communities, of which they have been jruiltv. It is this party which, according to the statement of one of its leaders, steals more from the people every year than was required to run the whole government under a Democratic administration, that will be soon aking the voto of the people to keep them where they can continue their plundering without interruption. The votes of the people will bo asked to continue in power the party which has niade'a tarifflaw for the protection of rich manufacturers, and the oppression of consumers, while the revenue arising therefrom is less than it would be if it were formed solely for revenue purposes. It is this party which was born amid loud huzzas for freedom, which came into power with the strongest pledges of retrenchment and reform in all departments of the government, which promised to aid industry and all legitimate commercial enterprise; but instead of doing all this, they have trampled upon 'he inalienable rights of American citizens, have been guilty of the most immoral and indecent debaucheries in the national capital and elsewhere, and OTC SO shaped congressional legislation that the entire poduetive industry of a larM portion of the country is paralizsd. This is the party that will be soon asking mw le:isc of power to continue the wo I in which they have been engaged. The people ought not to be deceived a gain. aVnUon'aalTtT KEPORT. The report of (Jen. Sherman is characteristic of the man. He thinks a large standing army is essential to the prosperity of the country, and that tho pay of officers should be increased. Peace is distasteful to him, and ho is determined to continue the war eternally, if possible. With peace he would no longer shine as a notable man, and the authority he now exercises with a tyrant hand would pass from him.

TEirHER'S ITOTITTJTE

Pursuant to a call of the Marshall County School Examiner, tho teachers of the county met in convention at the seminary in Plymouth, November 22, 18C9. The convention was called to order by the School Examiner, Mr. Thomas McDonald, and organized by electing the following named officers: President, Thos. McDonald; Vice President," D. D. Luke; Secretary, Wm. Jackson; Assistant Secretary, Miss Mary Dickson; Critic, Miss Vonia Chamberlain. Tho Institute being organized, the President appointed D. D. Luke Superintend int. The objects of the Convention were briefly stated by the Superintendent, after which, several teachers from various parts of the county gave their methods of teaching, and briefly stated in what they had succeeded, and in what they had failed. The afternoon session was called to order by the President, after which, Mr. Jackson gave a lesson in penmanship, embracing, 1st, position of the body; 2d, manner of holding the pen; 3d, movements. He thought writing very important, and that it might bo made a success in our schools; teachers ought to become interested. He recommend ed the Spcnccrian system, and thought every teacher should have a set of Spencer's writing charts that if the teacher himself were not a good penman, he could effectually teach it from these charts. Mr. Beilcr gave a lesson in arithmetic, and ga7e his method of organizing and educating classes. He had found great difficulty in classifying pupils; he had from four to five classes in the same book. At the close of his remarks it was suggested that so many classes can be avoided by an increase of labor on the part of the teacher, in assisting the backward pupils, and exercising good judgment in assigning lessons to be iearned. Mr. D. D. Luko gavo a lesson in primary orthography. He presented the subject in a ve:y able manner. He said ho would begin his instruction by selecting a word, andtdevelop the idea represented by it with an object, and then proceed to the elementary sounds contained in the words, and then the letters forming the word. That children learn words which are names of objects sooner than they can learn a letter because the subject is then presented in its natural order, as they learn to name the objects before they learn the word. Therefore the philosophy is to proceed from the whole to the part. By this method we teach things that have mean ing, hut by commencing with the letter first, we teach tho arbitrary character which cannot be interesting to the pupil, as no idea is attached to it that the pupil can comprehend. He thought adults I on forget arbitrary principles or rules, while they have difficulty in remembering facts based upon scientific principles; so, a long time is required to teach a child the alphabet by boginning at A, B, C. It was announced that Mr. Cyrus Smith, of Logansport, and Mr. Thomas Charles, of Chicago, would be present on Tuesday afternoon. The Institute adjourned to meet at 7 o'clock in the eve ning. In th ; evening session, the subject considered was that of School Government. Nearly all the teachers took part in the discussion. Many different methods were presented. The use of the rod in the school room found few supporters. The Institute adjourned till 9 o'clock, a. m. On Tuesday morning the Institute opened with music, Miss Ella Lewis, organist. The programme being arranged by the Supt.,Mr. Wm. Shaw gave his method of teaching arithmetic. He said he would pursue the objective plan in developing the idea of number. Mr. Jackson gave a lesson in primary physiology, which was very interesting and beneficial. Mr. Cyrus Smith gave a lesson in primary reading, considering the subject under the following heads: I. Object or Idea. II. Spoken word, 1st, Asa Whole, 2d, By Sound. IU. Written Word, 1st, As a Whole, 2d By Sound, 3d, By Letter. He said that he would proceed from the whole to the parts, and develop the idea upon objective principles, and if developing the long and short vowels he would select words containing those sounds only, that he would spell by souud first and then by letter; that if you see a picture, talk and write about it, you can thus interest your pupils so that they will be glad to come to school; that he would teach composition in this way, not b' rules, but by deduction. Mr Tliomus Charles demonstrated his method of teaching decimal fractions. His lesson was very interesting and duly appreciated by all. Mr. Jackson continued his lesson in penmanship, giving his method of developing the elementary principles, turns, angles and the analysis of small letters. Mr. Smith gave his method of teaching language to primary pupils. He stated, 1st, That when pupils make mistakes iu school, correct thorn, without telling them why. 2d, Get pupils interested in their studies by telling stories. When you tell a child a story, let it reproduce the story as near as possible. When it makes mistakes, correct them. Let the story be about five minutes lnng If you cannot tell stories, read them from some juvenile paper. Have pupils to write the substance of the story, and, by so doing, make them good composition writera. Lot theae exercises be daily. Mr Luko gave his aiollio'J cf teach

ing grammar to a claw that was prepared to receive a text-book. He considered the topic under the following heads: L Words, Simple or Compound. II. Incomplete Thoughts, Simple or Compound. III. Complete Thoughts, Simple or Compound. lie said that ho used the term thought in a grammatical sense, and that a pupil could distinguish a complete thought sooner by using the term, instead of the word trutenre. Sentence means thought, and thought making complete sense forms a complete sentence and. a complete thought. In a similar manner, teach the meaning of an incomplete thought, and preparole mind of the pupil to transcend from an incomplete thought to the term phrase; also, from a complete thought to the term sentence. In this manner, pupils get a definite idea of a sentence and a phrase; but if we say a phrase is a collection of words that do not make complete sense, the definition precedes the idea, and the pupils knowledge can not but bo superficial. In the evening, Mr. Macomber delivered an able and interesting address on The Relation of our Common Schools to Civilization. A voto of thanks was voted Mr. Macomber for his able address. Wednesday morning, Mr. Macomber gave a let-son in geography, elassifying as follows: I. Direction. II. Distance. III. Map. IV. Natural features Plains, Hills, Valleys, Streams, Iiivers. He said he would commenco with familiar objects and make tho lesson an objective one; that he would have them take a familiar landscape and represent

it on paper; they thus form a good idea of a map. Have the language nut as it is in the book, but as developed by the thing brought before the senses of the pupil. lie would write questions and require the answers to be written. His questions would be, ''Will you draw a map?" Upon examinations he would remove the map and let the pupil reproduce it from memory. Mr. Smith gave his method of conducting a spelling class. He would pronounce a number of words and have the pupils to write them. He would then, the class standing, call on some one for a word, and as many as had spelled it the same way would tako their scats. If they failed to spell any word correctly, he would have it re-written. Mr. D. D. Luko pave his method of teaching United States History. He presented the subject under four heads: I. Discoveries Spanish, English, French, Dutch. II. Colonization Settlements, Colonies. III. Revolutions Causes, War for Independence, National Organization. IV. Nationality Political, National development, Wars. He said that he would select one of the topics for the class, let them learn and relate all they can concerning it; he would not use a text-book in the recitation; the teacher should thoroughly study his lesson, and make a general preparation, to be able to interest his class. In the afternoon. Miss Chamberlain gave a lesson in orthography. She thought orthography was best taught when the pupils first commenco their letters, for they would then get a more perfect idea of the powers of letters. Mr. Luke gave a lesson in mathematical geography, divided as follows: I. Position of the earth. II. Form. III. Magnitude. He demonstrated the manner in which the earth was proven to be an oblate .ipheroid. The proofs of spheroidical shape as given, were, 1st. Varying vibrations of the pendulum. d2. Measurement of a degree of latitude. Mr. Smith continued his lesson in language. The following embraces tho principal parts of his lecture: I. Require of your pupils prompt answers expressed in complete sentences. II. Itequire pupils to write on their slate what you write on the board. III. Correct, with care, all errors in pronunciation, punctuation, spelling or use of capital letters. Mr. Jackson continued his lesson in penmanship, giving the analysis of tho small letters. The evening session was well attended. The subject for discussion, Theory uad Practiee of Teaching. Mr. Charles gave an intorcsting lecture containing much good advice; he thought teachers should visit parents and become acquainted with them before they would commence their schools. He should also see that the school house is in order and everything ready for the commencement of his school. Mr. Smith concurred with Mr. C in many things, and thon related his experience as teacher. His remarks were characterized by much good humor. Tho budget-box was opened and the practicability of spelling schools in the country discussed. Mr. Charles thought that spelling schools, as conducted in the country, were productive of more harm than good. That, as a genoral thing, young people attend them merely to have some place to go, and not to receive any particular boncfit, and in consequence, they never learn to be good spoilers in that way. It waa generally conceded that the manner iu whi h spelling schools were conducted in the country is not tho way to make good, practical spoilers. Mr. Smith aud othors wercf the same opinion.

Thursday morning, Mr. Charles crave

a lecture on the use of outline maps and globes in the school, and on the necessity of map drawing, Mr.Smith gavo a brief lesson in compound numbers. Mr. Luke gave his method of teaching arithmetic, as follows: L Matter Elementary principles. Fundamental operations. II. Method Present the subject in its natural order, use objects for illustrations, teach the unknown from the known, teach analysis previous to svnthetie statements, teach one process for a particular thing, and that the most practical; reviews should be topical with deductive exercises. Under the head of elementary principles he would teach notation, numeration, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, with their applications to United States money, bills and receipts. Under the head of fundamental operations he would embrace all questions proposed for solution. All rules or synthetic statements should be deduced from a previous analysis, to be comprehensible to the pupil. Miss Vonia Chamberlain continued the history lesson upon the same principles as heretofore introduced. Mr. Charles fiave a lesson in spelling. His methed, in some respects, was the the same as that of B!r. Smith. He would have the pupils study tho words in common use. Mr. I ,uke then demonstrated the principles of the extraction of the square root. Mr. Cable gavo an interesting lesson in map drawing. The following persons were appointed a committee on resolutions: Win. M. Nichols. Miss Jennie Cooper, and Miss Vonia Chamberlain. The evening session was entertained by Elder Chaplin, who delivered a very able and interesting lecture on the sub ject of mathematics. It was lively, and portrayed the science in its true light. The Institute voted him a vote of thanks. Friday morning, the Institute opened with reading the Scriptures, and prayer by Rev. J. E. Chapin. D. D. Luke continued his lessons in grammar. Primary geography wns continued br Mr. Chams, who alwo gave a brief lecture in pnysiology. Mr. Luko demonstrated tlie principle of the extraction of the cube root, basing the same on the binomial principle, which is, that the cube of a number composed of tens and units, is equal to the cube of the tens plus three times the square of tho tens multiplied by the units plus three times the tons multiplied by the square of the units plus tho cube of the unit. Miss Sarah Pierco gave a very good lesson on the mode of teaching children by the word method. In the evening. Mr. Chapin delivered an able lectxire on tho subject of Moral Training. He received the thanks of all present. The cemmitteo on resolutions made tho following report: Rcsoh al, That we believe it tho duty of teachers to cultivate a profession spirit by reading educational works, and attending teachera' associations. Retohedt That wo consider it tho duty of teachers to instruct their scholars in such things as will make them efficient scholars as well as good and moral citizens. SeaoIveJ, That wo owe a debt of thanks to Prof. Macomber, Elder Chaplin and Her. J. E. Chapin for their able and instructive lectures. Also to thoso who have labored for us from day to day during this Institute. WE M. Nichols, ") Jennie CqovKM, Committee. V.

This rapid prtression is the more satisfactory because it is made by so staunch an institution, which, like it name, is synonvmnus with the sterling iual9 Ol ities of solidity, steadfastness, and security Its popularity is doubtless proportionatey attributable to its abolition of the usual restrictions on travel and occupation, its holpfwl acceptance of note in part passaeato of premiums, tho division of its profits, in the shape of livulends, among tho insured, and the cngraftmcnt of the non-foi leiture plan on its system."
