They could be aeen squirming in all parts of the building, getting up and setting down, heaving and raging like boiling water. It was "cauldron boil and cauldron bubble" all the time. Tho Republican Convention once bonded was calm on tho surface, ex cept at special Fpelli' as a prayer meeting; and a great deal more calm than some prayer meetings that we have seen.

The Republicans took pride in their decorum, and happy to have things go ing smoothly, were shocked at any disorder. The Democrats rejoiced in the clangor ol combat, and would con sider a Convention in which there was fair sailing all the time, a stupid and unpromising affair. There was occa sionally a Republican beset with an anxiety amounting to nervousness, to do "right," and who attached im mense importance to principle and propriety .

That it is the duty of every branch of the Federal Government to enforce and practice the most rigid economy in conducting our public affairs, ami the acts of certain parties in high place, in cheating and defrauding the Government out of large and valuable tracts of the public. lands, as well as a reckless waste and extravagant expen diture of the pu die money, by which the National Treasury has become bankrupt and a borrower in the pub lic markets, by the sale of bonds and treasury notes, meets our earnest condemnation. . , . 8. That we consider the slave trade as justly held to be piracy by the law of nations and our own laws, and that it is the duty of all civilized nations, and of our public authorities to put a stop to it iu all parts of the world. copy from the Commercial about the Republican Convention at Indianapolis will be found interesting: The Democracy had a delegate and the Republicans a mass convention. There was a fight in every county in the State as to who should go to In dianapolis as Democratic delegates. The Republicans, in every county, in vited everybody in the faith to go up ami represent them. When the Dem ocratic Convention met, no person was admitted within the walls of the The ater, where its sessions were held, who did not present a ticket obtained from the State Central Committee. The Republican crowd gathered in front of the Theater, and when the doors were opened rushed in at break neck speed like a Hock of sheep fol lowing the bell-weather through a gate. ik fii. :.. i c 1 v. xiiai jTcaiciii im or o. q The Democl,lcy had the Theater di vi rnrhts to all Citizen, at home and , . r. i.i. abroad, without reference to the place of their nativity, and that we will op pose any attempt to change the pres ent Naturalization Laws. 10. That we regard the preserva tion of the American Union as the highest object ami duty of patriotism, and that it must ami shall be preserv ed, and that all who advocate disunion are; ami deserve the fate of traitors. 11. That we take this .occasion to express our thanks to our Republican members in Congress; from this and other States,, for their, perseverance and triumphant success in the organi zation of the House of Representa tives, in the election of high minded and National men, over the efforts of a corrupt, sectional and disunion par tw ' . 12. That a railroad to the Pacific Ocean, by the mot central practicable route, is imperatively demanded by the interests of the whole country, and that the Federal Government ought to render immediate and cllicicnt aid to its construction. . 13. That the soldiers of the war of 1S12, v ho yet remain among us, de serve the grateful remembrance of the people, and1 that Congress should at once recognize their services by plac ing their names upon the pension rolls of the government. 14 That we are opposed to the 're trocession of the : Wabash: and Erie Canal; as well as to the State becom ing liable for any. of the debts, or bonds, for which the same was trans ferred to satisfy. On motion of J. W. Gordon of Indianapolis', the foregoing resolutions were adopted unanimously. Immedi ately following this, Lane was called for," and amid prolonged shouts, the Convention's nominee for Governor, came forward and addressed the mul titude!' We shali'not attempt even a synopsis of his speech, but shall pub lish next week a speech which ho has since delivered at Green-Castle, in Putnam County. After Col. Lane re sumed hi scat, thh ' Hon.

J-hort, hut appropriate speeches. ded into sections, for the delegations of the several Congressional Districts, and these were indicated by cards nailed at conspicuous points. Every delegate knew his place as well as the members of a regular deliberative body know their seats. The Republicans were in utter confusion. The ox did not know his owner nor tho ass his master's bridle. It is not likely that a single county delegation managed to get together. The Democrats under stood parliamentary rules, and their parliamentary fighting was as keen and interesting as can he seen on the floors of Congress. They all appear ed familiar with the mysteries of movements to amend amendments, the previous question, movements to reconsider and to lay that motion up on the table, and all that sort ofthing. The Republicans seemed to have noth ing to do with parliamentary strategy. It would have been gross absurdity lor a delegate in their convention to have attempted to make a line point by su perior parliamentary knowledge. If any body had tried such a thing he would have been stared at as a great goose, and ruled out of order. The Democratic Convention was continual ly interesting, and was full of highly dramatic scenes. There were points to be made all the while, and every intelligent person who watched the fight, knew how it was drifting; and it was easy to sec the effect of every motion. There was no especial point to be made in the Republican Conven tion except to produce out of the good humored turmoil a ticket, duly appor tioned among the various sections of the State. There was no struggle of general interest, except on the last ballots in the election of Senatorial Delegates to Chicago. In both Con ventions each county had a spokes man. In tho Democratic Convention the spokesman was seated with those for whom ho acted. In the Republi can Convention, the delegates named to give the vote of each county, cast it without consulting any one. In the Democratic Convention, the delegates representing the votes from the coun ties were where they could he found, and new combinations were made even during the taking of the ballots. In the Republican Convention, there was really but one acting delegate lrom each county, and they were so scattered about the house and involv ed in the crowd that they could not le seeu to be consulted, and it was im possible, after tho Convention was iu session, for candidates or managers to form new combination. They had to take it a it come. There was room in the Democratic Convention for the . 'lylcrnr' nic .,,?smes;. hQinZ I exhibition of intellect and play of lac finished, the Convention adjourned jtics; and the old veterans of a hundred shit Jie It Väs remarked by all that caucus fights went at it with the sys wc near'lVpe&U ofjt. 'that it 'was theism of business men and wolfish ap- ,! : . ' - petite. ! Thev tore each other' records largest and most harmonious Conven- . , , - , . V , , . i to rags, and the political history ol hon that had ever .been held in Indi- j lUe Utc wa, ventilated in the procc. anapolis. Tho Republican Chairman served as reading clerk, and had a first rate voice for that purpose; no delegate ever failed to hear what county was called, or, if his cars were nptn, to know how it voted. Tho Chairman did not occupy the chair, but was tip on his feet, and instead of using Ihc gael, when a delegate would get im moderate, ho would lift np.h: voice The Winchester Union Mite So ciety will meet' at Mrs. Pitspatrick's, Thursday,' March 1st, at 3 o'clock, P JJ H.

And whereas, the use of the very expressive term, damn, while not confined to either Conven tion, but sadly prevalent iu both, seemed mo appropriate to, and was Used in the greatest variety of forms, anil with the most consummate skill by, the Democracy the tender word bless was most popular and most in geniously handled by Republicans. Where a Democrat would propose to "dam" any body, or thing, himself, for instance, th&, "damme" the Republican equivalent seemed to be "bless us." The Democrats, as a class, it must be admitted, and th?y will not quarrel with us for making the assertion, arc not alarmed at the idea, or the article of whisky, or of tobacco concentrated in th intenscst form of pig-tail. They, at Indian apolis, as elsewhere, Tak' air their whUky." and chewed as if they fattened on the rankest torm of the foulest weed. The Republicans were few and far between, who were prevailed upon to indulge in potations beyond a single glass of ale, or to try the weed to a greater ex tent than a shy nibble at a roll of line cut, put up in paper or tin foil, or an awkward pull at a mild cigar. As for the coming election, the De mocracy are most confident, and, if possible, the Republicans will work the hautest. There is, though the parties in Indiana present to the look on solid fronts, main' connecting in terests and contending sentiments in both. The American and old-line Whig clement is not well mixed in the Republican organization, and in Indiana as in Ohio, the party is un-.' thing in the Northern and another thing in the Southern part of the State, and still another thing along the na tional road. Commencing in the Ohio river tier ol counties, and pro ceeding northward, wc lind the anti slavery sentiment gaining in strength constantly.. The consequence is, when Southern and Northern Republicans meet at Indianapolis, it is somewhat difficult to prepare a vessel that will contain both. It is the ok 1 Ashtabula and Hamilton, iu Ohio, pioeess of ad niixtuieover again. The Democrats are divided into Douglas men and L:tue. Dtight, and Itiichanau men, and their feuds are bitter and irreconcila ble but they are lighting within the Democratic party just as Wise talks of lighting w ithin the Union. The popular vote iu Indiana in 185G was Fremont, 94,375 Buchanan, 118, GT0 Fillmore, 22.3SÜ. A great many changes have taken place in In diana since 1850, and most of them have been favorable to the Republi cans. There are not so many Irish laborers in the State now as then. There has been a considerable increase in the German element, and there has been a more rapid increase of popula tion in the Northern than in the South ern counties. In all fair calculations made up the State belongs in the doubtful column. The following Resolutions have been introduced and will be before the meeting of the next Teachers Associ ation for consideration and discussion. I. Jiesolvcd, That as friends of edu cation, we desire the County Exami ners to raise the standard of qualifica tions for teaching higher than it has heretofore been. II. That in our opinion, no school director is justifiable in employing a person as teacher until fully satisfied that such person sustains a good moral character. III. That we earnestly recommend to the teachers of this County, a more thorongh preparation for the duties of the school room. IV. That wc earnestly press npon parents, tho necessity of being guard ed in their conversation, relative to the teacher, in presence of their chil dren, and that they hring their objec tions against him or his teaching, di retuly before him rather than mention the same in the presence of his pupils. V. That it is the duty of parents and guardians to viit the schools their children attend, as often as once every term. VI. That too little attention is be stowed upon the cultivation of good manners and the physical strcugth and beauty of our pupils; therefore we insist upon etiquette hettveen scholars, and gymnastic exerci n an impor tant requisite in the school room. VII. Since tho teacher should he a pattern of propriety to his school, that a teacher who ues tobacco is one whoes example is very pernicious; therefore we discountenance its use among teachers. - .-!-' J VIII. That all schools should have , programme and tune-table of recita tion. IX. That it is imbractible to have indents recite with their books with them, except reading and parsing. - jt-fWay up in the JState of Ran dolph, in the town of Iantville, lives a man who is "awfully skcerl" about these Black Republicans. A I letter appears in last week's Jeff. I from this "skeert" individual who style himself "Veritas." He commences thus: "Much i said now-a-days about union and disunion in the Halls of Congiess and throughout this, our glorious republic Not uncommon to hear a certain class of men prate about a dissolution, as though it was a matter of small mo ment." "Veritas" very carefully omits to inform the public what class of men it is that "prate about a dissolution n though il was a matter of small i moment." He well knows that that "certain class of men" are the leaders of a party whose sole aim is the per petuation and extension of slavery; that they are the Representatives ol Southern Disunion Democracy in Congress, such as Barksdale, Curry, McRay, ReuUm Davis. Keitt, and oth ers in the house, and Toombs, Brown, Jeff Davis, and a few other leading Southerners in the Senate; they are the leaders of that extremely Nation al, union-loving Democratic party. The Republicans in Congress are not the men who "prate about dissolu tion." They do not consider that he election of a man for President. tanding; on the platform inaugurated ) Thomas Jefferson, sufficient cause lOl (II.m;iuhvii i.;i llirj UlJiUU. IMCil mond Broad Axe.
