May has since taken strong Conservative
ground, and does not offer for re-eection.
Tho State gave some FIVE or six thousand Van
Buren, majority at the August Election of 1886,
and 1898 on a thin poll at the Presidential
Election. There has been no election since.
All the Departments Of the Government, except
the Governor, are now in Administration hands.
In Missouri, similar and equally intense con.
test is going forward. Here is no Governor 10 be
chosen, but something Of higher National impor-
lance. The Legislature now to be chosen will
either re.eect Hon. Thomas H. Benton to the U.
S. Senate for six years, or choose Wing in his
stead. To that issue all eyes are turned. Messrs.
Allen and Wilson are The Wing candidates for Con.
rress Nlessrs. Harrison and NJ lller, the ncum-
bents, will be reelected if possible by the friends Of
the Administration. They were chosen in '36 by
large majority over the Wing candidates Of that
day, though the latter were carried on the same
ticket with Gen. Ashley, personally the strongest
man in the State. The majority for Mr. Van Buren,
as President was 1868 on light poll. We have
no data on which to predicate the success OF the
Wings, except those genern considerations with
which every one is acquainted: and we are rather
inclined 10 believe the chances against them, espe'
cally with regard to U. S. Senator. They. how
ever. appear 10 think differently. We observe that
thousand dollar bets on the Wing side are freely
offe, ed in The ST. Louis papers. and accounts OF
great changes in their favor in this or that county
are given by the column. Our skeptcism may be
put to scotn by the returns. We shall see.

ELECTIONS.

Louisiana has opened the dance in fine
style, and Missouri and Illinois will lead off
the next figure on Monday. These states
are among the seven which remain to the
administration, and we can very well afford
that they should hold fast to their idols !;
but this is by no means certain. The fol-
lowing calculation of the chances we find
in the New, Yorker, which, by the way, is
very good authority.
"Thc struggle in Illinois is one of no ordi>
naiyi Intensity and moment. A Governor and
Lieutenant Governor are 20 be chosen for a
term of four years, a Legislature for two years,
and three Members of the next Congress-
There are also County officers to be chosen 1;
which, though ofno moment out Of the State,
will doubtless swell the aggregate vote, Each
party is actively in the field, and confident of
victory. At this distance, il is difficult TO say
which has the better grounds for this conf
dence. The present Governor is Wing, but
adds nothing to the strength Of his party, and
is not candidate for reelection. He was a
sort ola Jackson man when elected in 1884,
but for White in the last Presidential contest
The Members of Congress were all Van Buren,
men when elected in 1886, but all Conserva-
tives on the assembling of Congress last Sep.
TENDER. Mr. Snyder, of the First or Southern
District, afterwards recanted, and voted for the
Sub.Treasury Bill. lie is not candidate for
recollection. In this District there are foul
candidates. of whose political partiai,ies we
are unaware, except that Rev John Hogan is a
Wing, and Ex.Gov. and Ex.Congressman
John Reynolds is either Administration or
Conservative. In the Second District, the
candidates were not fairly settled at our las,
advices but Hon. Zadoc Casey, the present
Member, was among them, and seemed likely
to be supported by the Wings and Conscrva~
tives This is the strong Van Buren, section
ofthe State. In the Third District the can.
ddates are fairly in the field--S. A. Douglas,
Adm, and John II. Stuart, Wing. Both Lave
been actively cauvassng for months, shaking
hands with and harangung the voters al every
village and settlement throug hou, tho District,
which is larger than the State of Vermont 1t

DUNCAN'S SPEECH.

We took up Duncans speech in answer
TO Mr.. Bond, expecting to find something
that might answer as an apology for re-
ply, but never were we so disappointed
We did almost hope to find something that
might relieve the administration from the
odium which the startling facts developed
by Bond reflected upon it /; but we must
say in all candor, that we find nothing of
the kind. Not material statement of Mr..
Bond is Gsproved; his statements remain
uncontradicted l. without even an attempt
on the part of Duncan to show any main
point to be false. Mr.. Duncan labors to
show that there are other things nearly as
bad as those dwell upon by Mr.. Bond. -
He evades reply, and runs off in tangent,
with a great noise, without meeting a di-
rect issue. This every, reader Of both
speeches will find to be true. One main
point in Duncan's speech is, that under
! Adams administration there was nearly as
much paid for public printing as there was
under Jacksons. Suppose there has been
an equal expenditure in this business. it
does not lessen the charge Of extravaganza
against the latter. The true issue is, how
S33, 100000 have been expended nnder
Van Buren,, when only Sl3,ooo,ooo were
expended by Adams. Here is an increase
disproportionate to the increase of popula.
ton, and yet this is the material point in
question.

4 public Dinner to Hon. Daniel " ebster,
under The auspices Of the Mechanics of Boston, was
given on Tuesday Of last week. Ii was n,agnifi.
cent ahiiir-Governor Everett presiding, and about
fifteen hundred persons uniting in this testimony
OF esteem and admiration. Mr.. Webster was per.
sonaly comp limen,ed by Gov Everett, and rose in
acknowledgement. The following paragraphs from
the account given Of his reply in the Atlas, are Of
most interest:
"Mr. Webster then went into general expo.
sition Of the principles OF The present admnistra.
ton in regard TO The currency Of the nation. Their
distinguishing principle was-a principle wherein
they differed from all others who had ever attempt.
ed TO administer the Government that beyond The
regulation OF the coinage, they had nothing whatever
to do with the currency. Such was their new
reading Of the constitution, in which they were
unable to find any power TO authorize them TO take
care oflhe people, but only power 10 provide for
themselves.
"Mr. Webster dwelt at length on the false and
dangerous nature of this principle, and expressed
his opinion that until this doctrine was abandoned,
and some action had by Congress, for the regua
ton of the currency, things would not settle down
to any permanent and steady basis"

There is a ludcrous typographical error
in one of the literary periodicals for June.
II is in an essay on American literature, by
Mrs Embury. who is, by the way. consid,l
cred by many as the best female prose
writer in America. In quoting the strong
language of one Of the most acute of th
moderns, who said, let me make the sone

THE PREsIDENCY.-It must be gratify-
ing to the Wing party to perceive the
unity Of sentiment which exists among the
Wings of the several States relative to the
selection of a candidate for the Presidency.
The opinion is every where expressed that
the decision of this great question should
be referred to national Convention, and
whoever may be selected will receive the
harmonious ard undivided support of the
Wings throughout the Union. Every pc
litical sign of the times indicates such a
result. At the late public festival given
to Mr.. WEBSTER, by the Mechanics of
Boston, this sentiment was advanced by
several of the speakers, and was received
with enthusiastic appreciation. Similar
sentiments in favor of a national Conven.
ton have been expressed by the ardent
supporters of Mr.. CLAY and Gen. HARR1-
SON, in other States where their supporters
are most numerous, and no difference OF
opinion exists as to the proprety or expe-
diency of this course. The Wings may,
therefore, look forward to the next Presi,
dental campaign with entire confidence
that their whole strength will be concen
trated upon one candidate, and with the
highest hopes that their efforts for the
redemption of the Country from the mani.
fold evils of present misrule will be crowned
with success. A division of the Wing
party on this question is the only hope of
the opposition. In this the Loco Focos
will be disappointed; but, like drowning
men, they will continue to catch at this
straw while political life remains.

An examination took place in this insti.
tuition on Friday Of last week, and an exhi.
btion in the evening. The examination
was highly creditable to the school, and
reflected great honor upon the principal
Mr.. Eastman. The scholars appeared to
have made good use of their time, and from
their answers it was apparen! that they
had been taught to exercise their reasoning
powers to great advantage. The order
observed in the school and the gen,lemanly
conduct of the scholars is deserving of par.
ticular commentator. The exercises in
the evening were spirited and amusing and
gave great satisfaction to a crowded house.
This school is an honor to the town. It
was beautifully said in recitation from
one Of the classics that education is an orr
nament in prosperity and refuge in adj
versity. 1t is more-improvemept is the
business of life, and the laws in this school
seem to have laid a foundation on which, in
that higher school. the world, they may
build up an edifce of enduring usefulness
and fame. To those young friends whose
bright eyes were beamng with desire to
distinguish themselves, we say 60 on, and
let this spirit reign in every thought, until,
in the full measure of manhood you feel it's
power; and then render back to communi.
ty the cheerful service Of great and noble
deeds.
