We were not able to find the pro
cecdings of the last County Convention,
but understand that the committee re
mains as constituted at a former County
Convention, and publish it with this un
derstanding. El). J
-Jas.. Simpson,
as the standard-bearer of alleged prin
ciples. As the leaders under each ban
ner note the movements of their oppo
nent?, prior to the final struggle for the
mastery, each displays his peculiar ideas
of strategy, aod nrominent among the?e
stands the desire to disorganiza and
weaken she opposing forces. A word,
then, to such of our readers a- claim to
la Republicans, will not out of place.
Itoru the fir.-t issue of the Heuald we
Lave been a firm and unwavering eup-"
potter of Republican principles. We
believe that ail the dii5culties, personal
cr other, arising in the puny, cau be set
tled within it. Vu do cot claim that all
the purity of America is with us, and
alhhe corruption outside. We acknowl
edge that f'rauJ have been perpetrated
by professed Republicans, but we are
proud m averting that such frauds have
been puni hed by -Republicans. No
great national -parry involving millions
of citizens can be altogether above re
proach with a pronenes---'tor evil that
lie who tpake as no man epake ttiore
or since, has not yet completely re
formed, it would be strange, indeed, to
look for no errors in so wide-spreading
a woof as the political machinery of this
uuion. Let every Republican do his ut
most in the selection of good men, and
all will be well. The party which pro
fessed the principles esseutial to the
salvation of such a nation, is not one
which can be lightly thrown aide ;
and we ask our readers to remember that
no single man, and no close corporation
ox men constitute the Republican party,
Its existence depends not on the success
of any individual, but on the truthful
and uufaltering support of its principles.
We know that men whoso support de
pends on the success of certain individu
als, will use every effort to make them
victorious; but thank God, even their
efforts, no matter how powerful or venal,
must of necessity pass through tlio cru
cible of a public verdict. Tho people,
from whom all our political power
sj r.ngs, alone can say who shall triumph;
and to forestall that verdict by suborn
ing its delegates, is a crime stamped with
the condemnation of the brand of Cain.
Those men who are now striving to
rend the Republican party by new or
ganizations, present a spectacle which
is at once pitiable and deplorable. Their
popularity having placed them in high
places, they now seek to wield its influ
ence to prostitute public opinion in fur
therance of the undisguised hatred they
feel towards the President, and to de
stroy him, they unhesitatingly embark
upon a course which may utterly ruin
the very part . which placed them in
power. L?t the people remember this
fact, and let no sophistical eloquence,
poured torth by political sirens, mislead
quiring the spirit of active industry
which is the vital principle of every good
school, he become feeble, sluggish and
purposeless. He' gats the habit of fit
ful and ineffective study which "fostors
a kind of intellectual dram-drinking"
which produces more distraclion than
culture. In a word the powers of bis
mind are Fystcmati;a"y weakened: and
the school, io-jteiJ of a blasting, is a
cankering curs to such a pupil. Few
clear impressions, and no lasting benefi
cial influences cm be made on him.
SomelLing may be lebly conceived, but
ifuot soon forgotten, it will only eerve to
make the underlying ignorance more
glaring and pitiable. Irregularity on ac
count of sickness cannot be blamed be
cause unavoidable,

The Labor Reform Central Conven
tion has established head quarters at
Washigtcn, and getting a grip on the
situation: Judge Davis is inconstant
coiumacication with the committe, and
is mapping out the canvass to suit him-st-if.
As there hxs been some state
ments to the effect that Gov. Joel Par
ker would withdraw fion the canvass as
Vice-President nominee, so a to allow
the Cincinnati Convention to nominate

THE HOCK A'I ITS DUTIES.
With the usual "calls" for State Con
ventions, and the customary note of
preparation for a National election, all
the various poliiicil elements, incident
to our democratic form of government,
are vitaliseiJ, and firs great patriotic
heart of a free people pulsates with in
creased vigor. The loansers smoke and
discuss national iuterests with a new rel
ish. The banker and busy merchant
group in the "exchange," or on tome
street corner, and analyze the exordi
ums of the people's representatives
with the straightforward habits they have
imbibed in their avocations. The law
yer, the physician, and even the mild
voiced expounder of His word exhibit
unusual energy in expressing their pre
dilections, and the hard working mechanic
and farmer read their papers with more
than common interest, and talk over the
probabilities of the coming contest with
more than ordinary zeal. All this proves
the healthfulness of a government made
by the people and for tha people.
Y here millions of intelligent citizens,
with innumerable interests involved in
the well-being of the administration of
public affairs, are kept in constant com-
mucicatiot with .their servants in high
places, through the powerful medium of
the press, it is Hecessary that their inte
rest bhould be aroused and developed
co-epjal!y with the struggles of political
aspirants. Removed, however, from the
arena whore the elaai:itors of the urt
political clash and thing their weapons
cf assault and defence, and looking on
more as the arbitrators of the contests
happily for thi- great nation the peo
ple generally dceide from a stand point
whence we can safely look for a cooler
and more dispassionate judgment than
t'-at which necessarily influences the
ooubatantA Thus the ruinds of the
pjasaes gradually become made up for
rl aj?iji-t th -e wh'" are put forward i
sucn leader provido for them. We re
reiterate that on the success of no indi
vidual depend the party; but the Dub
lie assertion of belief in its principle, by
toe election or such men as its standard
bearer to whom we cud always look with
confidence. Let us then select such
men as will reflect tha public sentiment
of a great party. Let them go to the
performance cf the duties with which
we intrust them, untrammeled by in
structions, and stand in the presence
of the nation's delegates devoutly con
scientious in, the discharge of the work
we have confided to them. Not as the
partisans of any one man ; but a3 the
representatives .of a free psople who
seek to eotrust the nation's welfare in
the hands of him only . who will be
found worthy of that "chiefest honor, by
being the truest and most devoted expo
nent or the principles we believe in.
Having performed their work and made
their selections, then let every Republi
can strive earnestly, and without rest,
to place the wreath of victory on his
brow whom the nation's . delegates in
council have foun wo
-. Tbucn is the datf of the" Lour? and we
ask our readers to stand true to those
principles which their efforts in the past
have so often crowned with glory. Let
them remember the rebuke to the tempt
er on the Mount of Olives, and when ap
pealed to forswear the principles they
have so long advocated, let them not for
get it.
Rock Bluffs, March 23, 1872.
Messrs. Editoos : We notice in the
columns of your paper, letters fsom
Greenwood, Weeping Water, and other
places in our county, but seldom any
thing from this place.
Knowing your willingness to publish
letters from correspondents, I venture a
fe4 lines in regard to the affairs of this
seation.
The first item of importance from here
is the effort of our people to secure the
location of the Methodist Conference
Seminary. The people have taken hold
of this matter in a manner which means
business, and if possible intend to secure
the building of these institutions here.
The location would be central for the
county on the river, of easy access and
the site proposed is not excelled inthe
State. The donations offered by indi
vidual 'are liberal soma offering as
high as three thousand dollars.
.;The citizens here propose to raise
what money is needed by do
nation, believing that bonds cannot be
legally voted for the purpose.
Item No.. 2, which is exciting the pub
lic micd at .present, i3 the Trunk Rail
road. The vote of Otoe county on the
bonds, in aid of this road is watched
here with considerable interest, as the
people of thi9 section are ready to assist
this enterprise whenever they are called
upon to do 60. Here we would like to
suggest that the different precincts inte
rested in railroad matters, select dele
gates, and that a meeting be held in or
der to confer on this matter and adopt
some plan whereby they can work in
harmony.
Will the citizens of Plattsmouth move
in this matter?
Items of minor importance are not
numerous, llie INaomt Institute, under
the care of Prof. Patterson, flourishes.

Messrs Editors If your valuable space
will peimit, I f-hould like to give a few
disconnected items relating to the irreg
ularity in attendance at our public schools.
If there is a-curse to the public school
system, it certainly is the irregularity of
attendance on the part of many pupils,
I think if parents would reflcj: a little
on the harm done by absenteeism, their
children would appear at school more
regularly. The irregular pupil, bssides
the injustice to himself, materially
wrongs his teacher, parents, schoolmates.
and the public schools generally.
' I with to -call attention at present, to
the harm done the pupil as an individual
1st, If he is taught in a practical ex
pcrimental and normal manner, he must
at least assist his teacher in drawing out
comparing, classifying, aud putting in
use, the elements of what he is study
ing. If either of these steps are omitted
the whole subject goes for naughf.
2nd. II is studies do not play into each
other, as do those of his more regular
classmate, forming a complete chain.
3rd, 'His reviews do hiai harm, lead
ing him to believe that he has gaioed
something, while that something is really
nothing but confusion. He is obliged
to expend all his energies to 4"keep up"
thus losing whatever collateral informa
tion that may be given to his class.
4th. The mud lie into which his
mind is thrown prevents him from think
ing clearly and from expressing with
precision what ho does think.
5th. lie is ignorant as to the subject
pursued, loses power, becomes indispo

say the poorest of the poor one might

this national trait is ant to strengthen
