We congratulate tbe country on the. assured success of the reconstruction poltcr of Onjrress, as . j Ttoced by the adoption, in a majority of the States lately in rebellion, of cocstitutions securing equal , ciril sad political rights to all; and we repaid it as . tbe duty of the Government to sustain those institus tions, and to prerent the people of snch States from .-, being remitted to a atau of anarchy. j , ' "2. The guarantee br Congress ol equal suffrage t to all loyal nan in tbe South iras demanded by every consideration of public safety, of gratitude and of ' 1 justice, and must be maintained; while the question of suffrage In all the loyal States properly belongs to tbe people of those States. - 3. We denounce all forms ef repudiation as national crimea.. ad the national honor requires the Fpayment6f the public Indebtedness,' in the utmost good faith toall creditors; at borne Dd abraad, not ' only according to the Utter, but the spirit of the laws tr under which H waa contracted. "4. It is due to the labor of the nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as . ; oar nauonaa faith will permit. 1j 5. The national debt, contracted as it has been ' for tbe pTeserrstioB of tbe Union for a'll time to come . ahould be extended over a fair period for redemption; s and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of v interest thereon, -whenever it can honestly be done. v "6. That the best policy to diminish our burden of -debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will aeek to loan us money at lower rates of interest than fc we nbwpay andxanst continue to pay so lung as repndiation, partial Or total, -open -or -covert, w threatened or suspected.

Andrew Jobosoe, caH iodly for Radical reform. , . - , "8. - We profoundly'deplore the untimely and trag'c death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of Andrew Johnson to the presidency, who has acted . treacherously to tbe people who eleeted him and the cause he was pledged to support; has usurped high legislative and judicial functhms; has Tefused to exet cute the iaws; has used his high office to induce other officers to ignore and violate tbe laws ; has employed bis execntive powers to render insecure the property, peace, liberty end lite ot the citizens ; has abased the pardoning powers; has denounced the , National Legislature as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly resisted by every measure in ; bis power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction , of the States lately in rebellion; has perverted the J public patronage into an engine of wholesale corruption, and has been justly impeached for high crimes ana misuemeanurs, uu iMupvuj jiiuuuuih.l. - thereof by the voice of thirty-five Senators. "9. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European Powers, that because a man is once a subject he is always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the United States, as s relic of the feudal time, not au- - thorised by the law of nations, and at war -with our national honor and independence, naturalized citizens being entitled to be protected in all their rights of ctiizensbip, ss though they were natural born, and no ettizen of the United States, natural or naturalized ' must be liable to arrest and imprisonment by any f foreignr power for sets done or words spoken in this country; and if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the ' duty of tbe Government to interfere in bis behalf. . "10. Of all who were faithful in the trials of the ' late war, there were none entitled to more especial 1 honor than the brave soldiers and seamen who endur- ' ed the hardships of campaign and cruise, and imperiled theiT lives in the service of the country. The r bounties and pensions provided by law for those ' brave soldiers of the nation, are obligations never to be forgotten- The widows and orphans of the gal- " lant dead are the wards of tbe people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the najion's protecting care "11. ' Foreign immigration, wbich in the past has " added so much to the wealth and development of the resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fos- ' tered and encouraged by a liberal and jnst policy. "12. This convention declares its syaipei&y with -' all the oppressed people who are straggling for their - rights."

Can the "father of lies: himself, beat Every true Union ' soldier in the Stats knows that Perkins lied when he uttered the above infamous speech. ! But lie ,was talking to the 'White; boys in T)lue,' .and perhaps he was alluding to the rebel , soldiers of that delectable organization. WORTH REMEMBERING. , r The position in which the Democracy place themselves by calling to the front such men as Vallandigham, Voorhees and Millisan, is calculated to illustrate the old proverb: "whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." We alluded, yesterday, to the grand demonstration of the Allen county Democracy on last Saturday, where Vallandigham was received with more' than regal honors. It is proper to remind the thoughtful " men of that party, those who are not yet ready to indorse treason and hurry the country into another ' revolution, that Vallandigham, not less than Voorhees, is on record, .that he has made many speeches, perhaps too many for the good of1 his party.' He made a speech in Con- . gress, on the 6th of July, 1861, just before the "battle.of. Bull. Bun, in which, he uttered the following atrocious sentiment 'which . dug that political , grave , from 'which the rebel yell of the New, York Convention resurrected him .Then, sir,. I am not a Southern man either ALTHOUGH IN THIS MOST UNHOLY AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL ' CRUSADE AGAINST THE SOUTH, in the midst of the INSUR RECTION AND MURDER TO WHICH . SHE HAS BEEN SUBJECT, and with 'which she is still threatened with the torch of the INCENDIARY AND THE DAGGER OF THE ASSASSIN SUS ,,PENDED OVER IIER-M Y . MOST CORDIAL SYMPATHIES ARE WHOLLY WITH HER." . , ... . The author o the above .was: during the war an ally of the traitor, Milligan, now leading a- column of the; Indiana . Democracy, and both were working to , accomplish tlie same object which ;Vorhees had at heart when.be sent his promise of iOO.OOO men to his Virginia uncle 'when he received those touching epistles reiativ'e to rifles, undoubtedly, intended to arm the Sons of Liberty in Indiana. Who can fitly characterize, the damning guilt and eternal cleaving infamy of those men whose fell spirit of malice and revenge prompted letters -of encourage ment to the rebel armies? ; What place in history will the bonost. chronicler; of the Great Rebellion assign , to the, man whose promise of a hundred .thousand men from Indiana was promulgated : in general orders and read at the head of every regiment in the rebel armies ? . The blood of thousands, needlessly slain, is on the souls of the men of the North whose, encouragement to Southern ,(,...- rebels not only induced the inauguration of the war but prolonged the struggle for years years of agony and blood beyond the period to which it could have extended but for their delusive, traitorous utterances. It is not strange that the author of the Hardesty letter, the sympathizer with and encourager of rebels ; the man who during those terrible years of war was going up and down the land shriekin "The Republic is dying! dying t DYING!!!' "I will never vote another man, another dollar nor another gun to carry on this unholy war;", the man who sought every opportunity, to stab at the life of the government; it is not strange,-we say, that such a man, with a record that haunts him as Macbeth was haunted by th ghost of Banquo, should decline a -joint canvass of this Congressional District" with the gal-' lant soldier who faced the storms of rebel lead in defence of the government which his competitor was striving to destroy. It is still less strange that he should thus decline to meet Carter in joint discussion when he has demonstrated that his only material of war in this contest is a howl at the. "Radical Con gress'' for expenses incurred in crush ing his idol on the battle-fields of the South. Wabash Express. r Prof. Watson, of Detroit Observatory, has discoveied a new planet, of which he made the following report on the 16ih inst.: "I have the pleasure to announce the discovery of a new minor olanet. which I made last night:, It shines like a star of the tenth magnitude, and at twilight this morning was situated in right ascension three hundred and fifty-eight degrees and . twentyfour minutes, declination eight .deorees and fortv-eight minutes south.

Vl From the New York Tribune. Industrial Education in CommonSchools. A To those who look below the superficial agitations, of E uropeaopol itica to the deeper agencies of social amelioration, the movement for the promotion of technical education, or the instruction of the working classes in the arts and Industriespliifft isfuI!or eacopraging

promiswJioth,iaEngland, aa4ua Continent this subject is occupying? the earnest .attentiorj of the r best naiads.With the advance of ideas ..there ,13 a growing recognition of the .educational deficiencies pf the working classes. But the European system is tolerant -of incongruities, and yields slowly . to meas-. ures of improvement which hiye.np otlier claim than considerations ,of r justice I and right. These, considerations . ha,ve, however, . of, 'late , been, powerfully, , re-' inforced by others of, a more urgent nature; national interests are found to 'be involved in the question.; , The inter national exhibitions of industry, which have taken place within the last twenty years have revealed the .fact that the industrial rank and precedence of countries is virtually dependent upon the instructed skill of workmen, and consequently upon the provisions for their proper ed ucation. The present European movement for the introduction of science and art into popular teaching is thus found to be closely linked with the growth , of industry and the advance of civilization. As Prof. Tyndall remarks, it is nothing less than a phase of the energy of nature, as necessary and as irresistible as the motion of the tides or the flowing of the Gulf Stream. But this is by no means an Old World question; it is equally urgent and equally agitated here, tin the theory of popular education, in its complete secularization, and in the magnitude of the ( appropria tions for it, we' are undoubtedly , greatly in advance of Europe; but as regards the adaptation of , our teaching , to ' the . real wants of the people, ; we are not a whit ahead of them; the same question is before us, although our circumstances . favor the working it out, in a more efficient way. In the absence of a well organized common ; school system .they - are driven to the necessity ,of establishing agricultural and industrial colleges, but it is 'evident that these institutions can accomplish the end only partially, as but few can gain , access to . them. .- On the other . kand,t we have an educational system belonging to the people, established in their confidence, capable of indefinate improvement, and accessible to all. ,-To a great extent, , indeed, the common schools may be said ;to have charge of the mind of the country.- The education of nearly , all the people is begun here, and that of the great, majority ! is completed here.-r;Whatever educa-1 tional ; reforms or improvements are to reach and benefit the masses must take effect upon these institutions. That the common schools of the conntry are the only adequate instrumentality for the general diffusion of that technical scientiiic teaching which is now confessedly the great desideratum of. the industrial classes, seems, the re fore, beyond dispute The idea that these subjects can only" be taught in colleges is a serious mistake The common schools are undoubtedly designed to teaeh readiag, writing, and arithmetic; but not these alone, for they are but the means of working with ideas and acquiring positive knoweledjje. The true aim of the common schools , is nothing less than the intellectual preparation of the greatest portion of the people for the work of life, and this to a very conconsiderable Segree they can be made to accomplish. They have charge of the children of the Republic from the ages of five or six to sixteen or eighteen, and to say that it requires a dozen years to get the simple use of the intellectual tools is preposterous. Indeed, this is mainly the work of early childhood. Education begins at home, and is. there generally carried to the practical mastery of spoken if not written English, the use of the mother tongue, with usually the rudiments of writing and an elementary knowledge of numbers, j ; There is plenty of time then for the study of the familiar objects of nature and for accquiring the elements of tho sciences. Some knowl edge- of the , physical and chemical pro perties of matter, of the growth and re lations of plants, of the habits and his tory of insects, of the characters and classification of animals, and the laws of breeding and improving stock, of com mon minerals and the local geology, it is perfectly practicable to accquire in the time generally allotted to the common school. Of course, great proficiency in these studies is not to be expected; but there may be sufficient to determine the direction of the thoughts . habitually to those subjects, to facilitate subsequent self culture, and to become valuablo for guidance in the experience of manhood. But it is notorious that these institutions in point of fact teach nothing of the kind; for the perfectly sufficient reason that the teachers know nothing of these subjects. It is a trite remark that "as is the teacher so is the school;" and that to improve the schools it is necessary fir st, to improve those who controll them is a modern discovery which has led to the establishment of Normal institutions These are the great gate ways of approach to the common schools, and are so in fluentiar in determining their character, that reapplying the observation just

quoted, wtf may sayt as Is the Normal School so will be the .Common School. If, therefore, the masses j of' the people are to be taught' the elements of iechlcal and scientific knowledge for the prac tical purposes of life, this can only be Idone by,In trod doing ttiov necessary studi ie3 into Normal Schools, and - pursuing

them there systematically;; aiyl thor fiioliTtr ''In tmS 'nr-iv onrl in f. h i a r 1 V. may be useful for those who can attend them -to pursue those subjects still more compbitely. but the main work must still rest with the common schools common only in the sense that they are universal. In 1842 Congress passed an act approt priating large amounts of pnblle land to' -the several States, to be devoted, as the enactment' declares,'- to - teaching such "branche3'6f learning as are related to ' "ajrriculture and the mechanic" arts, in ; "Order tb promote the liberal and ' prac- ; "tical education of the Industrial classes "in the"several pursuits and professions of life. This action of Congress was a. concession to 'the growing demand' for practical instruction among the common p people, and was of - course a tacit' crit 1 icism of the1 defects of existing ' educa ' tional provisions and arrangements. 'We have several hundred colleges and academies in the country, with facilities for double or treble the number of students that they now contain; Congress did not donate the lands to them. It virlually said, "the education you dispense is not that which is most wanted. "It is of the wrong kind -and is limited "to comparatively a few. -We wish 'to "do the work which you have left un"done to initiate or encourage a hew 'educational movement which shall give " a practical education to the industrial "classes of the country.- Now it is obsvious that the only way to attain this 1 noble object with anything like completeness was through' the use of the people's existing educational institutions! The appropriations, therefore, belonged, by every consideration of 'risrht, to the Normal Schools the training colleges of the States.' They should - have been applied to the support of institutions where the elements 'of agriculture and the industrial arts could be tausrht to students, who should themselves become teachers, and carry out the system xf instruction in the common schools, as In this way only could the industrial classes be effectually reached.1 But the old colleges the parties impliedly condemned by the terms of the donation , as " ommitted to a deficient culture were on the alert, and ' secured the' grant. Minnesota alone, where the old-collegiate system has not yet got a foothold, demands that those recourses shall be put to their true use and go to the Normal Schools, and through them di rectly to the common shchools and the people of the entire State. A lively discussion has sprung up in , the newspapers of that region upon the question, in which this policy is very ably urged; and a determination is evinced to car ry out the real spirit of the Congres sional design in the way most likely . to secure its benefits to the whole coramu nity. If this plan is faitutul'y executea it will raise the common school system of that State to a higli position, and result in permanent and solid advantages to its people. ' Facts for Democrats. A Kentucky correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial states the situation in the South, and the evil effects to follow the election of Seymour and Blair, very clearly in the following paragraphs: ' ' "You men of the North Conservatives and s War Democrats may believe that the threats of revolution and rebellion in the South are idle. ' .You are mistaken. All over Kentucky, nearly, bands of Confederates are organizing holding secret night sessions, and praying that the election of Seymour may give them the opportunity of overturning the Southern State governments, and driving Union men from the country. ' The rebel spirit is rife in the land. -You have the deciding voice. ' If you elect Seymour, such a torrent of wild rebellion will be set in motion as will startle you. If you ' elect Seymour, hundreds of Union - men who have stood by the old flag in the hour of dan- ' ger, and and have hazarded their lives for tho ; Government, will be driven by persecutions, by cruelty, by rebel malignity, from Kentucky, - to find a home elsewhere. ,We pray God that you may stand by us now. It is our only hope If Grant is elected we can prosper in peace, and live as we wish to live, for these men will not dare to produce discord with his hand at the helm. Do not desert us.' The Indianapolis Journal of the 13th says: "That was a fine manifestation of Democratic valor, night before last, in those grown-up Democrats in the Eighth Ward who assailed a procession of boys ' with clubs and stones, in juring more or less quite a number of the hap .less children, and one of them so severely that , he coughed up blood afterward, and is now confined to his bed.

" ' ' ' ,. - As our people, without exception, take a deep interest in the completion of this road, we have taken some pains to post our readers as to the the true condition and future prospects of the work. - The Board of Directers of the company met at Richmond on the 11th inst. All the Directors, except Jas. M. Starr, who was in the "Northwest, were present, and the most lively and intense interest on the part of the Board and the citizens of Richmond, was manifested for the early completion of, tho work.. ,:: 2;, ' Th& President reported several consultations he had had with Presidents of other roads that'was proposing to assist us, but fto' definite plan of operation had been agreed upon. A proposition had been determined upon on the part of the C, H. D. and the P., Ft. W. and C. Roads, to guarantee the payment of interest on a million dollars of our bonds to purchase the iron, the company completing up the grade, the culverts, ,ties, &c, laying the track,' balasting tho road and making side tracks, water-stations, &c. To do this would require ahout one hundred thousand dollars in addition to the subscription the company' already have. Thi9 proposition was believed to be as good for the' company as could be had, if carried out in good faith, would result in the early completion of the work. To make the proposition binding the adoption of the same by the several Boards of Directors would be required, j.: It has since been ascertained that the charter of the C, II. D. Road does not permit that company; to . make such a guarantee, but .they have proposed to make to the P., Ft.. W. and C. Railroad a sufficient guarentee, in some other manner, which will be legal, if they, the P., Ft. W. and C. Railroad will guarantee for the whole million dollars, as proposed. A written proposition to that effect was submitted, from the officers of the C; H. & D. Railroad, to the President of the P., Ft. W. and C. Railroad, and declared to be satisfactory.' Thus matters stood at the date of the last meeting, and the President of the road was instructed to proceed at once, and, if possible, close up a contract with the parties on the ? b a s i s of the above p r o p o s i ti o n ; and should he not succeed with them, to try another party, who is understood to have as favorable. plans as the first-named, and in the event of the President's success he is authorized to let the; work at once. . From this state of facts it will be seen that , while the road is not advancing as rapidly as we desire, yet there is nothing really discouraging, and we look forward with pride and satisfaction to the time, we trust not distant, when this much needed work will be completed. We were misled, in our article two weeks ago,' as to the object of the meeting of the Board, and hasten to give the true facts as to the condition of tbe road at the present time.

If they voted tbe Democratic ticket and asked for favors, they , were good fellows," and their "German friends," but if they asked for a division of the offices even in proportion to the number of votes cast by them, they .were 'the "wooden shoed Dutch,'' and it woulden't do to have them about the Court House. ' The Democratic love for. foreigners is in proportion as they can 'vote" them. From all accounts they will have an interesting time "voting" ; some of them in Ripley this Fall. jl t ' King Solomons Chapter, No.; 4, will meet on Friday evening, Aug, 8, 1868 at 7 o'clock, P.
