In jiui'Huancc with a Resolution
recently ailojitcd by the “Exec.ntivv.
Committee of (he Union Republican
Party in Ueonjia'' there will be »-
Stutc Mass Convention hehl in the
City of Atlanta, on the “fourth day
oi July” next by the friends and huji
porters of the National Union Rejmb
liemi party.
The friends and supporters of that
party throughout the entire State,
without regard to color or former con
dition, are cordially solicited and ex
pected to have, their counties represen
ted.
A platform ol principles will be
adopted upon which to conduct the
npproaohing political campaign. It will
not be the “white mans Convention”
nor tho “colored titan’s Convention,”
but (hat of the friends of “universal
education, equal justice, and the politi
cal rights of all.”
Several distinguished Statesmen
from different portions of the Union
have consented to be present ami ad
dress the Convention. All the friends
of the movement are invited to attend.

HON. FOSTER*BLODGETT.
We lay before our readers this
morning the speech of our worthy
Mayor upon accepting the presidency
of the Mechanic Fire Company. It
must be particularly pleasing to Mr.
Blodgett at this time to have this
honor conferred upon him.
A few weeks) since he saw (it to an
nounce himself as a member of the
great Republican party. Having been
a Union man, lie undoubtedly felt that
to oppose the Relic 1 aristocracy that
had brought ruin upon his native
State, lie must labor with the only
party that lias tie-friended the Union j
men of the South. For doing this, j
nearly all the Rebel curs in town turn- j
ed upon him. With moral courage
that must command the respect of the ]
Rebel party, with the exception of the
curs, and a manliness that excited our
admiration, he defied all opposition.
11 is opponents asserted that he could ;
not poll a white vote in the city.
This company of mechanics have J
given the lie to this assertion by easting
a unanimous vote for him. It he shall 1
be a candidate for eivil office the Rebel
party will find that lie can poll several
hundred white votes. Indeed lie etui
be elected in this city inspite of their j
most bitter opposition. It will take
more than tjv"'.>,ooo to defeat him the
next time.
A correspondent from Thonuisx ille
informs us that Mr. J. W. Toer made
a political speech in that place on
Thursday and that on Monday night
he gave a “splendid exhibition” for
the benefit of the school and church.
He gave for that purpose half what
lie roeoeived.
We are obliged to postpone until to
morrow the expose of our Union-
Rebe!-/t > <!fh’coMircadand-Ih!t.tcrfriend
of the “Press."
We trust he will not lie offended,
tor if a man carries more than two
faces under one hat lie must expect
some hard rub-.
In the Supreme Court at Uarrie
burgh, I’ennsylvansa, Attorney-Gene
ral Brewster has applied tor a process
against the Gettysburg!) Asylum for
Invalid Soldiers, to prohibit the scheme
of lotteries or gifts established by that
corporation.
TEACHING POLITICS IN SCHOOL
“ If you will only keep from teach
ing politics in your schools,” -uul a
Southern editor, to us the other day,
“ we shall certainly lie able to divide
the negro vote,” What a betrayal of
weakness and fear! What! the negro
vote likely to be controlled by the poor
despised New Kngland Kchoplmarms!
Verily,this is an unexpected tribute to
their ability. We knew perfectly,
that if the negro vote depi ruled on the
political teachings of the ladies it would
be as likely to go tile way their best
friends would have it, as not, yet the
remark‘set us a thinking. A lady who
has one hundred little heads to initiate
into the mysteries of A, B, C, g-o-go,
ifcc., &c., i' too much wearied when
she has finished her daily work, to
spare any breath for polities, however
strong a Radical she may lie. More
over, as few of the children in school
are any way near the age of twenty
one, it has not seemed necessary as yet
to commence their political instruction.
They have not been taught even those
terrible words lying at the foundation
of this country’s power and prosperity
inanely, that all men are ham free
and *'pad, and endoived ivith certain
inalienable rights, among which, if
we remember, are life and liberty.
We are almost beginning to fear, from
these hints about political education,
that we have not done our duty in the
matter, and may, perhaps, suggest to
some of our lady friends the compila
tion of a primary political catechism
to he studied by till scholars as fast as
they tire able to read. llow interest
ing it would Ik to hear a Yankee
teacher catechizing a class of little
urchins, somewhat after this fashion :
(J. What tire you, Moses?
A. A member of the human family.
Q. Who told you soV
A. The Yankees.
If Who are the Yankees?
A. Our friends.
Q. Row do you know this?
.1. Because they set u- free.
Q. What do you mean by feu *
A. I mean working for fail wages,
and getting paid, going to school and
learning to read ami write, having no
master to cowhide me and sell me; in
short, having the same chance in life
as if I u as white folks.
<j. W hy is it better to lie fl ee than
to he a slave ?
A. For so many reasons, 1 can't tel)
them all.
Q. Name one of them.
A. Because a man baa a soul; yet, if
he is a slave lie )s treated like horses
ami mules that have none.
q. Who was the greatest man that
ever lived?
A. Abraham Lincoln.
<1 Why?
A. Because he wrote the Emanci
pation Proclamation.
Q. What became of him?
A. lie was cruelly murdered by
the re! is.
Q. Who do you mean by the rebs f
| A. Our old masters.
q. Don’t you love the rebs?
.!. No.
q. Why not?
.1. Because they don’t like to see
us tree.
This is merely a rough sketch
capable of almost endless extension.
We have not yet seen or heard of anv
such elemental y work ol instructions,
but if our Southern friends say much
more about political teaching we shall
take the subject into serious considera
tion. The truth is that the colored
people are indebted for such political
education as they have, not to the
Yankees but to their V masters,
now their “best friends.” tPlic lash,
! the paddle, the overseer and the
bloodhound, these have been their
| teachers! The lessons have been
wrought into their very soul and are
Written in letters of blood. Dull
| scholars, indeed, they must be if they
could forget them so soon!
“What, you my best friends who a
! few months ago were tearing my tiesh
| with the cowhide, taking my wife for
| your own purposes and selling my
children that you might use the money
| for your own pleasures !” “True,
Sam, but 1 did it all for your good my
boy.” “Can’t see it, sir, can’t see it." j
Strange, indeed xvonld it be, it the!
: bow suddenly released from its long j
tension, should remain in the same ;
position, and no less strange, if the j
colored race, delivered from bondage,
should voluntarily put themselves in
the power of those who so long and
so cruelly liehl them !
See now, colored citizen- of these
Free States of America, what your
Southern friends desire for you, and
judge for yourselves. They cannot
control your entire vote; this they well
know. They seek, therefore, to do the
r next best tiling for their own interest,
as they supposej’ jiamcly, to ilicde you!
Yes, they want to divide you, because
they know the old saving, and have
too long proved its power—Diviiik ami
CoNQCMt. It was by means of a
divided North that they so long held
sway in the Federal Government ; and
now that the North is too firmly united
for them to hope to divide it, they are
anxiously seeking for the same reason,
to divide the, negro cote.
Colored men, hear and understand !

It was thought by some that we luid better
get th** Parker & Watson Scries, which u the
most used in the Schools, simply because some
had ffot it, for the sak*? of uniformity ; but my
reeommeiulation prevailed One gentleman
present, who had used both, stated that be had
used the other as long a he cared to, and con
sidered the Willson Series as fah superior,
giving an example ot the difference of time
re»jttired in teaching anew pupil, the prefe
rence being decidedly in favor of the latter
scries. So we, starting this new movement,
bare decided to get the best book extant, . o far
a> w <- knew* them.

From the American Freedman (Rev. Lyman

“ The peculiar eharaetcristic of
Ucs in the fact that they aim to imparl. - far
as possible useful information. For ti.i pur
pose they contain a series ot article* on vari
ous subjects of science and history, graded to
the capacity of different pupils, and so arranged
that when the five volumes have been care
fully read, tlie student, in addition to a know
ledge ot reading, will have acquired .* conside
rable knowledge in many departments of
study, such as will lay the foundation for more
complete instruction alt*, lav aid.”
They arc therefore peculiarly adapted to liic
pressing needs and quick perceptives ot the

Dear Sir—l have been familiar with the
Read* rs from their first publication, and am j
free to soy to you, as I have uniformly said to |
teachers, superintendents, aud others, .that, i
all things considered, I regard them as the!
best Scries before the public The leading !
peculiar feature of this Series was a happy in- j
spiration of the author, anil the execution of j
the plan so well done as scarcely to admit of j
improvement. Mr. Willson’s style of compo i
Mtion in the lower numbers of the Series, and I
something of his plan in the higher numbers, j
have been imitated by some later writers of i
school readers w ith decided advantage to their :
works. Hence Mr Willson has not only made j
a peerless Series of his own, but has elevated ;
the general standard of such works. When- j
ever my choice lias not been constrained by j
circumstances, I have always used this Series !
both in the white and colored school* w ith j
which I have been in any w ay connected.
