Miss ENGLisns SCHOOL FOR You've LADIES
Georgetown The examination OF the pupils ofths
popular institution, which has been continued for
week past terminated last evening with an agreea-
bic concert of music. The exhibition has been
mos, interesting one, and the evidences OF Profcien-
CIV in their various studies manifested BY the seve-
raj classes have been crediabe alike to teachers and
pupils. The course Of study seems well adapted to
the development and high improvement OF the moral
and intellectual faculties and the system OF disci-
piine well calculated to inculcate those manners
and habits which give grace to the requirements of
the mind, and lend so many charms to the female
character.
Several specimens of oil painting, drawing, and
tapestry, indicated genius of excellent promise
We have seldom behed a more interesting sight

. n .

The expectation we EXPIRE several
days ago has been fulfilled, by the Loco Fo-
CO faction in the New York Senate, and the
election Of United States Senator has been
purposely prevented by IS Senators in viola
ton Of the intention of the Constitution Of the
United States, of law Of the State, in
contempt Of their sacred oaths, and in defiance
Of the undenied will Of the people. The State
of New York, therefore, an aLti-administra-
ton State, will be repre- sented by Silas Wright,
jr., alone in the Senate Of the United States,
and he avowedly opposed to the wishes Of an
overwhelming majority of his constituents

that "the ,ciH Of the majority shall gire la,c,'

MIR. CALHOUN--TOLER AND
LIBERALITY.

Let us add a spirit of kindnsss and fordearanee
topards friends ,rho hare separated from US on Ms
great measure" the Sub-treas1ry. Thus speaks Mr.
Calhoun In his letter to the Democratic members OF
the North Carolina Legislature. This is true kE-
PUBLICAN sentiment. But how does It contrast win
the language employed and the course pursued To-
wards that class Of friends by those In whom Mr.
Calhoun reason to confde, as well in respect
to their integrity their patriotism? The columns
OF the Globe those of the Albany Argus, and the re-
cent action Of the New York Senat' show. What
has been the treatment that Messrs RivEs TALL
MADdE, LEGARE, GARLAND, CLARK, and many o'ners
have experienced at their hands9 Why denounced
as RENEGApEs, TRAiToRs DEsERTERs, and stigmatized
with almost every ephet to be found in the yocaou-
larry.
The official organ Of Saturday night copies with
exultation from the Albany Argus, the announce
ment of the defeat Of Mr.. Talmadge's reelection
the Senate Of the United States by the Locotoco
majority Of the Senate Of The New York Legislature.
The Argus says, cit is manifest that Mr.. Tall
madge cannot be reelected to the Senate fof the
United States, for, in no event. as we believe can ne
the nomination of majority OF the Senate OF
this State" It congralulaes its Democratic friends

his (Mr. T.s) defeat cannot ia TO be saluary; and
continues " Political renegades will reap in i the
instructive lesson, that Ieachery may read its re-
ward when disappointment is least expected" The
Globe calls the Legslure Of Virginia to do like
wise with Mr.. Rres.
Such is the spirit Of intolerance, prescription and
persecution of the Administration. How is II pos
