The Female Student, we nre assured
comprises the substance ofthe conversations
and addresses of the author to the students
of that distinguished institution, the Troy
Female Seminary, while she, in the absence
of the principal, presided over it and it
furnishes us with a sufficient reason by
which we eau account for the great
proportion ofvigorous constitutions, strong
minds, and enterprsing characters, dstin-
guished alike for moral worth, elegance,
and usefulness which have emenated from
that Seminary. The Willard Institution ut
Troy is indeed II Seminary, from which
annually go forth well educated and
accomplished teachers of the youth in all
the States and Territories of our country,
implanting the seeds Of virtue, piety and
science, when they can most effectually
take root, and where they cannot but yield
an abundant increase, literally "making
glad the city of our God" That course OF
study and system of education cannot but

believed that such may he the proud boast
of the Willard Institution; with the general
course of discipline and study in which,

The public are under grent obligations to
her for her labors and we sincerely hope
her work may have wide and general
circulation. Itcannot but prove an invnlu-
able auxiliary in the cause of education.

FOURTH OF JULY.

OTWe commend to the notice of the public the
Address of the Executive Committee Of the State
Amt. Slavery Society. Abolition meetings ought
to be held extensively on the Fourth of July
and collections taken up. The mummery of a
Fourth of July Celebration in the usual manner
ought never to be repeated while one-sxth part oil
our countrymen are signing for freedom. For our
part. we have done with such uncouth ceremonies
altogether. Away with the damning sin of slavery

WAsHINGToN, June 10th, 1886.
know not what the morning papers may
bring you respecting the scene of last night;
but have determined to drop you line,
which if it il not worth the postage it will
he your misfortune to the amount thereof.
Yesterday, and the day before, the House
had under consideration the bill providing
for the admission of Michigan into the
Union. This bill is considered, by the Van
Buren, party, as of vital importance. 1t
provides that the member Of Congress cleo
ted by the territory Of Michigan shall repre-
sent the State of Michigan and as he is
Van Buren, man, it secures the State OF the
presidential question, if the House of Rep
resetativcs are called upon to elect the
President. In several of its features, it is n
most fagilious violation of the Constitution
of the United States, and nothing but state
of alarm flor the success of their candidate)
bordering on desperation could have drilled
the party to vote it, with all its enornIlties
on its front.
The majority were determined 10 carry
this bill through the Committee OF the whole
before they adjourned. Accordingly they
rejected all and every proposition 10 alter
or amend it. Mr. Russell, of the State OF
New York, during the night proposed SO to
amend it, that the Convention which is to
be elected to decide on the boundary line
between Ohio and Michigan, as designated
I i'm this bill should be elected by citizens of
the United States; but the majority voted
down tie proposition. Pending the discus
sion on it, however, MIR .McKeon, who
claimed to be the sun of an lrlshnan, vol
untcered to prove the blessings that Europe,
and Great Britain in particular, was show
ering down upon our land, by converting
it, not only into Botany Bay but by max
| ing it, also, the foul receptacle of paupers,
vagabonds, and race of wild, untamed,
and untameable savages. lreland's knight
Grant, however, was nMlVed; insomuch
that | venture TO predict, he Will not very
soon court another such tournament.
! AT about ttceLpe ut night the Committee
passed this bill, and then took up the bill
| providing for the admission of Arkansas.
! Ii was soon ascertained that there was no
quorum; whereupon call OF the House
| was ordered. scene of confusion ensued
without parallel, in this or any other ma
! ton, unless il may be al an H1Sh Vd6e,
which | have never enjoyed the honor OF
witnessing. The officers ofthe House were
despatched in all directions TO awaken the
sleepers and drag them forth to witness al
! unblushing sacrifice of the Constitution oil
their Country, at the midnight hour. This
hurry burly continued until near o'clock
in the morning, when quorum having
been obtained, the bill for the admission OF
Arkansas was again taken up, and about
o'clock the Committee rose and reported
both bills without amendment, and then
the House adjourned. Every citizen mus
make his own comments upon such pro-
ceedurc. These honest patriots sit up all
night, and the next (this) day adjourn at !
I i'm the morning and retire to bed.

The dissenting Antimasons Of Franklin
County, not exactly relishing the late Van
Buren, masonic nominations for Senators,
called a second convention at Fairfield on
the 18th inst. The convention, Judging
from the names which appear in the pro-
ceedings, was composed of goodly share
of Jackson men, probably d majority. A
committee of ten was chosen to present
candidates. This committee reported the
names of Nathan Smile, Seymour Eggles-
ton aud Jesse Carpenter. The nomination
of each candidate heing taken up separate
~, Smile and Carpenter were confirmed
and Eggleston rejected. Here is strange
work again. Carpenter and Smile were
put up by the Van Buren, and johnson
convention. So that all the Antimasons
have got by calling a new convention is q
fresh insult in the masonic nomination Of
Carpenter, and Joseph Soule in exchange
for Mr. Sheldon. Mr. Eggleslon on th'
score Of talents is head and shoulders above
Soule. No matter for that. The frs
question in the Van Buren, catechsm is
