' _> On Monday a lecture was delivered on teaching, in which the science of methods was clearly illustrated, that in teaching there must he some methud, some plan to go by. Or|Thography was introduced and treated of in such a way as to insure a beneficial result to those studying this .branch. The rules of spelling were extensively considered in recitation form, From observation we conclude that some code of rules for spelling should be adopted by every teacher in Jasper county, and thoroughly used until appreciated by the pupil. In the future we would advise a little more science’in teaching orthography. Grammar w as introduced, and the manner and methods of teaching dis'cussed. Elementary sounds, the foundation of all spoken language, Was considered at length. One of the important objects of the Institute i-. to impress upon the minds ot teachers the importance of teaching the elementary pounds. In regard ! to this matter there seems to be a great diversity _nf opinion among liotn teachers and patrons. Let us look :.i! the subject for a moment. The. common or a-h-c method of j teaching tlie alphabet is a> serious in obstacle as can well be devised, in tlie way iif a child, to hinder his ortiu-rcss. imil render instruction re I pulsivc; yet millions l);n e lived through it, in spite of all the horrors j of~t+ic-passage', k. is tot to Ifp j wandered, then, that so many ever alter hate the'.r hooks and pei'shl in | ignorance -amd viyc, To shew the absurdity of the, plan : The .child [is eomjieTiKl to call twenty-six shapeless characters by their mi aningies.s< | names, lyitil lie learns them. . Alter lie lias learned thelli, lie isXprsojjfl' flutn before, so J;w iwXfJieir' use is concerned Tnkex’Vor instance,ai in hat, or hall.;,< hi met. What idea of the suufwi of these letters in "iTitise words is obtained from their names'; ti any, a false idea. wliie!i the .teacher lias U> correct by long drilling. , Tlie Phonographic alphabet presents letters -of a n liablechnraeter to children. 1 would suggest its use. Then w.n: c a child lenrns i a letter, i'. -has not to bo unlearned or learned again from two to live times; but tlie objoetojr sues "Tlie child lias V learn the common alphabet after lie has learned the Pl.onotyie with its foriy-threo chirrnc lers." I answer, that ,in true hut he learns it without any effort on the part of the teacher. Having got the soent of ideas in words of Phonographic letters, lie will search tlieui out in the Romanic, and will thread their.muzes with an avidity so keen as Compel his mother to aid him, rather than be himself compelled by bis teachers against a! repugnance that is continually in-, creasing. The Institute is progressing pleasantly and harmoniously, and I trust will be attended with hinny good results. Teachers manifest a-dosire to improve themselves to such an extontt that their work wiR- reflect honor-to themselves and to their profession. T" 5 " 8. B. Y.

Umlom Kepultllcaa riuUurm. 1. We congratulate the country on the assured nucceiis of the reconetrgjtllon policy of Congress, ns evidenced by the adoption in n majority of the States lately in rebellion, of constitutions scouring equuj politliul rights to ull and regard It «• the duty of the Government to SttMiil'i 111 one constllupops, and lu prrymA the people of euoh Stole* from bolng remitted to h mate of anarchy or military rule, 2. The guarantee by Congress of equal «us fruge to all loyal men in theSontli wasdeumn ded by Ofery consideration of public safety, ol gratitude aiid justices and must be maintained, while the queitlon of suffrage in ollUhe loyal Htatea property belong* to the pooplb of those States. j 3. We denounce all forms df rejiadiation as a nntimml crime, and our imtionafhoiior re* fHiires.tl)e payment of the publifc lndeblouness in tlie utmost good faith, to oar fcn;dUo,. r s «t home and abroad, not only according to the letter but the spirit of tlie laws und-<r which it was contracted. 4. It Is due to tlie laborers of tlie nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as tlie national faith will permiti>. Tlie uatlomil debt, contracted as it has been for tlie preservation of tho Uiilon for ail time to conio, should be extended over a fair period for redemption, aqd it is the duty of Congress to reduce the of interest thereon whenever it can honestly, bo done. 6. That the begt policy todfmtnish our burden of debt 4a to HO iitipxoye qpr credit that capitalists will s.eali to loan us money at Itrwer rates of interest tlinru wt uow pay and must continue to pay so long ns repudiation, partial or tota), open ox covert, is threatened or suspected. 7. The government of the United States should be administered with the strictest ecoqo.ipy. The corruptions w iiich Imve been so shamefully nursed und fostered by Audiew Johnson call loudly for radical inform 8. We profoundfy deploie the untimely and tragic dentil of Anraham Lincoln, and regard us u national calamity the ascension of Andrew Jolmsou to the P-tasideney, who ha* acted treacherously to tlie people who elected him • and to the cause he was pledged to support; has usurped high legislative and judicial functions; has refused to execute the laws; lias used liis high office to induce otiier officers to ignore and violate the iaws; has employed his executive power to render insecure the livee, property, peace . and liberty of citizens; has t|ie pardoning power; has denounced thp nqlipnal legislature as unconstitutional; lias persistently and corroptediy resisted, by eyeyy measure iu bis power, every proper attempt at tlie reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion; hag perverted the public patronage into aiiengineof wholesale corruption; ana has been justly impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors and properly prpnounced guilty thereof by tne votes of thirty-five Senators. 9. Tbe doctrine of Grant Britain and ether European pojrqrs that because a man in once a subject he is always so, muet be resisted at every hazard by the Upifed States a as relict of the feudal times, not authorized by tbe law of nation?, and i« at war wilh our national power and Independence. Naturalized citizens are entitled to be protected in all their rights of citizenship as though they were native bprn. .No c'tizeu of the United Stalest native or naturalized, must h" liable to arrest. ; and imprisonment by any foreign power, for | acts done or words spoken iu this country; I and if arrested and imprisoned it is the duty of the Government to interfere in his behalf, j 10. Oi all who were faithful in the trials of j the late war,there were none entitled to mor* I especial honor than tlie brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of campaign und cruise, and imperilled theirclive? in tne | service ol lijo country. Tlie boiinliej? and | pensions provided by law for those brave de- ! lenders of u nation are obligations ueve'p to be , forgotten. Tire widows and orphans of tho «gal|aut depu are tlie wards of the people; a *ai cred legucy bequeathed to the nations’ protecting care. , 11.. Foreign emigration, which in the pnet has added so much to the wealth.and development of tlie resources, and to tile increase of tlie power of tins nation—the asylum of tlie j oppressed of ull nations—should be fostered niid encouraged by a just aim liberal policy. .12. This Convention de-lares.its sympathy : with all oppressed people who are- struggling ! for their r.gliu.
